Re: In tank fuel pump for 1963 SF ??

I have the Holley pump mounted on the frame rail as low as I could and it has worked well for a couple of years until Monday $%%&#@

I was in a small Veteran's Day Parade with my car, I was the second car behind floats and a roadster. I have been in several parades in this town but later in the year, the temperature was around 90 degrees, I am in Arizona. Very near the end my car stopped !!

With the fuel pump on I could hear it faintly running, not the normal sound, it was not pumping fuel. ALL of the other cars passed me (including some very nice Chevys) as I pushed it off of the road, 4 Police Cars stopped behind me !!

After a cool down it started fine. It was a very slow parade, the heat from the exhaust probably vapor locked the pump or the suction line to the pump. I know I need to move the pump as far away from the exhaust as possible and still try to keep it low enough to keep prime or see if an in-tank fuel pump was an option.

I'll post another message different topic asking about electric fuel pumps.

Can you run a pump inside and outside the tank,yes,but a inside pump in inside and out of the way of other parts,and is silent to a point,no noisy holley red pump on the frame ready to be damaged from some type of road hazard.it,s a very clear install and a very eazy to maintain.Does this system cost more,for sure,but where do you draw the line on performance and value today,where a mechanical pump(performance unit) is close and over a 100$,and can still leak out on your new stone driveway,5-10 grand.So put up your values of what you want out of your car and we go from there,mrmopartech

Well .........
If you were to maintain a tank of fuel it would keep the pump cooler for longer life cycle of the pump or that's my understanding. Hence the reason you not supposed to run your vehicle low on fuel all the time

OK, somebody please enlighten me. I've never seen any evidence that in-tank fuel pumps do anything that inline pumps cannot do. Maybe I haven't looked in the right places.
My belief, since I first heard about in-tank fuel pumps in new cars has been "what a cool gimmick for auto dealers who get to charge customers to drop their fuel tanks to service
a component that is generally much easier to service when it's not in the fuel tank". Some acquaintances have said that I'm cynical. Maybe.
I heard this some while ago: "No matter how cynical I get, I just can't keep up!".
So, out there in the real world, why is an in-tank fuel pump better than an inline one?

OK,

I suspect this is a dumb question but does anyone make a fuel tank for a 1963 Sport Fury that will take an in-tank fuel pump?

I have been doing a Google search to see if a retrofit sending unit with fuel pump for our tanks is available or if anyone makes a retrofit fuel tank and so far I have not found anything. If anyone has any thoughts or information on in-tank fuel pumps it would be appreciated.

Thanks
