John Higgins Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Hi, has anyone got a fuel tank with fuel injection provision for sale to fit my SEi or one that can be modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 @John Higgins It’s quite easy just to get the tank modified see this thread on what I did, plus with the pot in the middle it will be better for fuel surge. I bought the ally, folded it my self and did all the prep work. Then just got my local welder to weld it in. Probably cost less than £50 inc the welding 👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Higgins Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Hi Matt, thanks for the link, very interesting. I could do something similar except that I would like to install an in-tank pump set up from a Fiesta ST180 or similar. This avoids the need for swirl pot, pre-filter and separate fuel gauge sender unit so ultimately should be lighter. I do have the skills to fabricate a complete tank if necessary but my TIG welding skills are a little rusty! Cheers, John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 @John Higgins Here’s an example of what your looking for it sounds like (page 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Higgins Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Hi Matt, Tim Reid's build is very good and sound like the solution I want. There's one thing that I didn't understand and that's the lack of a fuel return pipe. I have AT Power TB's and the fuel rail has in and out. Perhaps someone can clarify things for me.

Matt_S Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 @John Higgins I run a dead head system, so just one feed line to the fuel rail. If you look at the first thread in my first reply there is a fuel system diagram, I take it the ford fuel pump will work the same hence one feed coming from the tank to the injectors.

Matt_S Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 @John Higgins Here’s the specific point about the Fiesta fuel pump it has a self return hence only needing the one fuel line to the throttle bodies. I just blanked off my fuel line with a screw on cap form Torques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naranja_Al Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I run a dead head system fuelling system too, blanking off the fuel rail in the same way as @Matt_S has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Higgins Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 Thanks guys, all very neat and tidy. I'll post some pictures when I've built it all. Cheers, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
