G'day all,

In an effort to conquer the problems of fuel pressure under boost, I've finally got the Hollet Blue fuel pump and Malpassi dual carb regulator to hook up to the boost line etc. I do have a couple of questions which I'm hoping the collective knowledge and experience can help with...

1) Has anyone fitted this and where did they put the fuel pump? I know it should go under the tank but there's not a lot of room so any ideas would be good.
2) How/where and what type of extra fuel line did you run from front to back (and where would I buy this line? Should I use steel or can I just run fuel hose?). I'm thinking of running a new line for the main line and use the original line as the return to the tank (which I would extend up to the filler area)
3) The outlet on the standard tank is pretty small. Is there a way of making this bigger? Different fittings available?
4) Does anyone know a good place where I can browse a range of fittings for the pump, regulator etc to hook everything up? (in Sydney or Central Coast preferably!)

A lot needs to be learned before I take this one on!

Many thanks, Marc.

Loads of pics of fuel lines and pump mounting in my "ratstoration" thread in members rides

Pirtec etc or any hydraulic place for the fittings and good fuel hose

Just checked that ratstoration thread. That's a seriously long thread! 😵

Found the fuel bits, thanks. The main difficulty I can see is threading that fuel line through the tunnel.

Thanks for your help.
