I've been looking into a good reliable fuel system to support my goals and future growth. However this can be a very expensive project. Right now I am focusing on the hanger and how to make for a cheaper way to hold a larger fuel pump. It seems that when these dual and triple pump hangars were designed they were running several smaller pumps. Maybe Walbro hadn't come out with the 450lph in tank pump yet, which defeats the need for multiple of the classic 255 pumps and high cost hangars/fittings/junctions/lines, and a lot of trial and error for fitment.

Long story short, I would like to custom in a Walbro F90000267 450lph pump into the OEM hangar. Delete the filter and regulator, just keeping the level sender, and running a return line from an aftermarket FPR. Goal is to custom the Pump in firmly with a line running up to the OEM feed line outlet location. But with a -6an fitting installed. Run -6an lines to and from the rail with an inline filter going to the rail, and the return coming off an FPR obviously. This would make for a $150 hangar rather than a $1,000 hangar with multiple pumps and all the fittings/lines to go with it.

But before I get ahead of myself, looking for other peoples knowledge and experience, or inputs for ways to accomplish this that I haven't though of yet. See in my mind, I'm seeing the pump with a sock sitting in the factory location (making room as necessary), with the filter and regulator out of the system. Running a hose straight to the top of the hanger where it meets a -6an elbow. Should just run and pump like normal right? Doesn't need to go through the OEM setup of filter and the odd little regulator device on the side of the hangar right? The in line filter and aftermarket FPR should make it all work the same, just with them being external. Is this worth a shot? Or is there some reason this would never work? I'm debating picking up a used hangar to experiment with.

 

Also will be running the DeatschWerks hot-wire kit or "hard-wire" kit as they call it. FPHWK. This is similar to a hot-wire kit I used on my Vette and is known to get another 100lph out of a pump. If anything, it keeps it running at maximum potential receiving direct voltage from the bat/alt system. Especially easy install for me since I relocated the battery to the trunk. Nice and close to the pump with shorter wiring. For a $40 kit, can't not do it. The pump claims to be good for 750+hp. And with this hotwire kit, I'm pretty sure my fuel needs will always be met.
