Turbo Fuel Tank


Aussie260z

Recommended Posts

What do you guys think of this setup for a turbo'd engine.........

1 - Purchase R31 Skyline Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump Cradle & Ford Mustang Internal Fuel pump (good for about 500hp)

2 - Remove Cradle from R31 fuel tank and mounting bracket from top of fuel tank

3 - Remove the fuel level Sender unit from R31 Fuel Pump Cradle (as it gets in the way - use the Datsun factory original fuel level sender unit)

4 - Get some 3"- 4" OD exhaust tubing off-cut and attach this to the fuel pump cradle (this is the swirl pot) making sure you have a gap at the top and bottom when mounted into the Datsun fuel tank

5 - Attach the "Low fuel level" sender unit from the R31 fuel pump cradle to the outside of the swirl pot (at a level where you want the fuel warning light to come on, ie.........1/4 tank,

6 - Install the Ford Mustang fuel pump into the fuel pump cradle

Now have completed Fuel Cradle assembly ready to be bolted into the Datsun Fuel tank

7 - Cut a hole in the top of the Datsun fuel tank based on the mounting bracket from the R31 Skyline fuel tank, than Install the mounting bracket for the R31 fuel Cradle into the Datsun fuel tank (braze it)

8 - Install the fuel pump cradle setup into the Datsun fuel tank

9 - Connect up the Main & Return fuel lines from the 260z to the "new" in-tank fuel system (may need to use a reducing hose)

10 - Connect up the wires for fuel pump

This is what a few 1600/Sr20 folk have done - but setup is done with a baffled fuel tank, and the swirl pot is mounted to the baffles,

Anyone know if this will work as well with the unbaffled 240-260z fuel tank?
