Dunno if it'll help but it looks sexy. Need to figure out the small bits and a make a temporary mount...will probably have Primo powdercoat and/or make a more attractive plate later on.

I'm close to buying a stock fuel hanger from a guy that is upgrading to a fuel cell. It's costing an arm & a leg, of course. Reverting the in-tank hanger to stock and dropping in a Jay Racing pump should solve my issues. That combined with the surge tank and Weldon should make for a solid setup.
Once I'm sure I have the hanger I'll have to look at AN-fitting adapters for the stock hanger, get another pump centering ring...and a bulk-head fitting for wiring. Since I don't have the stock electrical plug I'll have to rewire the hanger and feed the wiring out through another hole.

I've never been so excited about an OEM part. The guy is sending me both the hanger and the wiring plug! So awesome.
I think I'm going to hold off on the Weldon install until after Proving Grounds. This will tell me for certain whether it was the Full Blown hanger and I might as well wait until real E85 is here for a retune.

YAY OEM PARTS!
I am guessing the stock hangar will fix quite a bit.
Do you have a 255 in tank to fill the surge tanks? Or did you end up with the Jays racing one or something, I have lost track.

I'll be throwing one of the Jay Racing 300lph pumps in it. In theory that should be adequate overkill since at 0-4psi they flow 425.
I ordered a fuel pressure gauge for the surge tank since I want to see if the -6an main tank return is being overwhelmed.

The guy I bought the fuel hanger from has been incommunicado for a week now. Strange considering how he said he'd ship the moment he had the Paypal. :(
I keep hoping it'll be here when I get home.

Probably time to cancel the paypal and tell him he can get it back when he decides to talk to you again.
