Should be plenty of volume then... I'm afraid I havnt done any research on pump voltage boosters and with the KPM setup you can't run the pumps individually so you can't run a triggered setup... I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread to see the outcome

Honestly I would run pumps at nominal charge voltage ( 14.7 ) and use a setup that would include a second or third pump to be "triggered" to come on to suit the application

Lukes fuel lab approach is by far one of the best as its fully variable and its a product made specific for the product

All you have to do is buy a VSD and some pumps .... Easy right lol

I think that there would be enough room to fit another pump into the cradle, but doing so would reduce the volume of the canister. I am looking into incorporating a Holley Fuel Mat into the system, maybe this would negate this issue.

The car is, and always was, primarily designed to be able to facilitate every day driving. In saying that, as the car has a subwoofer enclosure behind the rear seat, a boot mounted fuel cell is out of the question. I discussed the fabrication of a new alloy tank with Kevin (Process West), when I stared to design the system. He felt that the cost involved would be excessive. Hence the path I have taken.....

This company has been setting the bar very high for a while now over in the us market and have intank systems to handle 1800rwhp with three intank pumps but with full electronic conrtol

Sorts all the big mustangs/camaros/GTR's out nicely

This is something u may need to look at for inspiration

My main purpose in designing a fuel system is making sure that if something fails, it minimises the chance of destroying the engine. Trigger pumps are high risk in my books. .Jet just loves living on the edge.

Well not really princess ;)

If you have a constant running twin pump system I know for a fact one can let go and you only notice it at WOT when you need it yet behave down low. How long would this go on for ?

A trigger system is requiring another step in the process yes but I honestly think that with the smart use of a input/output setup you can have simple little additions to the fuel system to know when the second pump comes on and obviously know when or if there is an issue

Then the up side of the additional pumps not running all the time seems a winner to me

Again lukes fuel lab is a real great way of going about linear fuel supply

WARNING (Amperage) The Walbro and Aeromotive pumps used in either single or dual applications obviously produce more flow than stock pumps - BUT AMPERAGE IS MUCH HIGHER. Example: Up to 73% 14.2-17.2 vs 9.9 amps (Walbro Gss340). Therefore, the stock wiring system is incapable of handling the increased loads and must be upgraded or replaced. This higher amperage also negates using the BOOST-A-PUMP™ and it’s 17.5-20V advantage. The BOOST-A-PUMP™ is not designed to operate these high amp pumps. Check out the flow numbers and cost of the 2 approaches. See Kenne Bell “Fuel & Horsepower Estimator” to determine HP.

Just read this from the above post. As you said it pretty much rules out voltage boosting for these high amperage pumps.

Jet. People who think they know everthing annoy those of us who do.
