Thanks for your help ucw458.

I have brought por tank liner for it, but how do you can get every spot including the baffles coated. You could pour a gallon of tank liner and probably get every square inch. I already spent 40 hours getting the rust out of the tank. It was very bad. I'm going back to New Zealand for 3 weeks ( 1 week in Sydney) I will get the tank fully resealed by performance radiators while 'm out of the country. Then I don't have to worry about the filter issue. The strainer on the fuel pickup line should be enough protection for the pump or should get XRP -8 to m18x1.5 120 micron filter for connecting direct to the pump?

Did anyone use the black rectangle choke/capacitor whatever that item was which was connected to the + and ground in parallel? You know what is really funny, is that the pump started working again. I pulled the fuel tank and checked the resistance pump and got something. I decided to power it up and it decided to start working again. Any ideas on what should do? I'm half temped to order a new pump from summit.

I will pull the tank tomorrow and check the resistance at the terminals, I will add the relay in tomorrow for the pump and remove the pre fuel filter (its was 3/8). Do you think I should replace the fuel line from the outlet of the pump the whole way to the high pressure fuel filter with 3/8" or bigger? I also have the full workshop manuals. Useful sometimes. Adventures tomorrow.

I Put the heavy gauge wire from the pump back to the old plug, I had plans to throw the relay in, as draws some juice when running. I will install the relay when I redo the pump. I used a in/out 3/8 filter, so i should bin the filter? How nosily is the pump when it is cavitating? Did you have the rust problem with your fuel tank? I have new hose clamps, new rubber hoses everywhere on the tank.

Did that, it has 10 micron 3/8 clear plastic filter before the pump, So that protected the pump. I read most of the posts on starquest and other site. The Tank had new fuel prestainer on fuel Pickup into the Sqaure Bowl in the tank. I was going to using the fuel tank liner from POR-15. I used most of the stuff bar the liner and then derusted the tank further with Battery charger and electrodes. It has AN6 or was AN8 fittings going from the outlet of the pump to the steel fuel line. It Phoenix Fittings from the Pump to the steel line. Installed New High Pressure Fuel Filter, after I did the pump. I used the instructions from here for derusting the tank. http://www.instructables.com/id/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-aka-Magic/ I think the pump was a cheap clone of a bosch 044. It cost $119 USD from ebay. Just because it looks the part, doesn't mean it is. I haven't pulled the tank out yet. For all I know the a electrical connection could be loose on the thread terminals of the pump. There is no resistance on the pump and also connected 12V directly and no one is home. The main question I have is, is the 044 Bosch OK to install where the OEM pump was installed? Is there a suction issue with the pump? Thanks for your Help

I'm going to get shot for asking this question? Should I replace the Bosch 044 pump (ebay brought, failed after 3 hours of running, over 3 months,) (There's along story to this) should i replace with the 044 Bosch pump from summitracing? Can the 044 be install where the OEM pump use to be? or Bosch pump from top Performance for up to 350-380hp or there other pump for everything else and up in HP Replaced Cylinder Head gasket and installed new bolts (the yield type) and fixed broken studs on exhaust flange (losing exhaust through the gasket) 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago replaced the transmission and clutch. Used some expensive Royal Purple 75w-90 which is fine for the synros. Brakes Fully rebuilt and or replaced. Derusted the fuel tank, pain in the tail. Going to weld up a new fuel tank in the new year. Next i'm pulling out the dash to fix the heater valve. O Joy Cheers Shogun Currently have 1987 Chy Conquest TSI. Have complete spare engine in pieces and t3/t4 and manifold
