need some quick help here please
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 2:50 PM
I posted some while ago that I was having troubles with my racetronix fuel pump that I installed. My fuel pressure was way too low and no one seemed to have answers. Well finally I had some time to drop the tank and double check everything. Instantly I found my problem the main fuel hose is kinking when it goes into the tank. Can I shorten that hose to fix my problem or is there another reason why it is doing that. Thanks

If the pump is in the assembly right then it sounds like you just got too long of a hose on there. Can you take a picture?

The hose is the one that came with the pump. I turned the hose around and it seemed to help a bit here are some pictures.

I would hate to just say cut it without knowing for sure that it isnt part of the quick disconnect stuff...

Most people wouldnt think to add something small like that. If you install a new pump that is longer then stuff like that will have to be done.

I had to run a better pump so my AFRs would be correct the stock pump alone couldnt give me the fuel pressure I needed under boost. I have the car running now just test drove it.

I was talking about a note about having to shorten the fuel line. Upgraded fuel pumps are always a good idea.
