Yes, I have dual Walbro 255's in the tank, mounted on a custom bracket to hold them both in place....Wiring done with relay, placed with total stealth, and safety....I ewill try to get you some pics soon...

I asked ryan woon about a triple pump system, and he said that a MKIV triple tank hanger will work with a little trimming... just FYI

Sorry I'm no help on this one. I gave up & went w/ a big external.
I'd like to see some pic's too of the line routing in/ out of the tank.
The hanger, pumps & wiring I'm sure is similar to the supra set up.

I have done a few twin setups in SC's and have it down to science. Typically i run 2 -6 bulkheads on the tank, and y them off to a single -8 all the way to the rail. I mod the stock rail and use the stock feed as the return. Ill hit you up with some pics of this one we are doing at the shop right now. The wiring is simple, dual relay setup with a fusable link works well and is straight forward.

Somebody educate me, why do you need to run 2 or 3 pumps? Does a single not supply enough fuel to support the HP, at what HP do you need to add an additional pump beyond the single.

If you have very large injectors 1 pump will not provide enough fuel.

Aeromotive makes pumps for upwards of 2000hp, however people like sticking with the cheap/easy walbros which max out around 600hp, so they need multiple pumps.

not only that, but intank pumps are quieter, stay cooler becuase they are submerged in fuel, and they also dont require running a fuel cell.

If you have a very large TURBO, 1 pump will not provide enough fuel. It's the increase in delivered air to the motor that requires more fuel not a bigger injector.

I've seen people out run one walbro fuel pump anywhere from 590whp (lexluther) to 690whp (me). So, it can happen. In my case, the second pump was programmed to come on at 14psi, but rescaling my fuel map from 3-bar MAP to 5-bar MAP goofed up the load breakpoint for the second pump activation. Fortunately, I caught it on the dyno before it caused a problem. You can read about it here: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=380446
