Upgrade wire size in EFI fuel sender

[64nailhead]

Another option.

Knock a hold in the cell/tank top and pass through with this. Ground stud on sending unit base for pumps to chassis and 12ga through these. Metripak connected to 8 or10ga for each pump from relay. Under a foot of 12ga isn't going to have voltage drop on 20amps of load. Use hole from stock cable pass through for second 3/8 feed and solder/weld in AN fitting.

You also have a lathe, I would have turned a new sending unit and made a -10 single exit with a -6 return and -4 vent by now with this pass through bulkhead.

If Jake buys a Holley fuel tank setup then he's going to take a hit on his fabricobbler status.

I agree that he should make one. By the time he getsthis one made and it perfected for the 2+2 he'll be able to market them (too me) lol.

I agree. He should prototype a pump hanger for the stock tank and sell us the hats. A cheap DIY solution, with links to what you could use to finish.

Biggest problem with aftermarket fuel senders in a stock G body tank is that the tank sits flush to the floor pan and the pipes that come out of the sender have to be really thin and bent really sharp. So everything has to be thin.

But yeah there's a need for in an tank solution that can fit more than 1 fuel pump, something like a single -8 or twin -6 ORB or JIC outlets (F NPT), a -8 return, a vent, and wiring that can support 20+ amps with a fuel level gauge.

Damnit now my brain is working....

Didn't you just buy a new tank and own a welder? Just recess the pick-up down an inch or two.

This isn't rocket surgery.

I'm not modifying the sender on this 525 install, just upgrading the wiring and sending it. The 3/8 feed is marginally acceptable. Twins it's for sure not.

Just looking at making a hat for dual pump setups potentially for my 2+2. I just want a drop in no weld solution. Low priority to get something designed.
