Although there may be some fuel temp decline I think the primary advantage is fuel pump life due to a cooler environment and easier fuel movement.
--Thank you Nick for reference to the article on installing and “in tank” fuel pump.Does anyone have quantifiable information on the difference in fuel temps between an in-tank pump and the external electric pump? I may do some research on my own and if I find anything worthy I will let the group know.Gary P.From: furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxxSent: Sunday, May 08, 2016 5:17 PMTo: 1962to1965moparsSubject: Re: In tank fuel pump (WAS: Re: My Car's New Trick)--My thoughts on advantages of the fuel pump in the tank is to overcome some of the problems caused by new fuels. Access to our tanks is nothing more than one strap holding it in place. Here is some thought to start with.Nick

Thank you Nick for the comprehensive list of stations and Ethanol-free fuels with pricing. I won’t complain about our 91 unleaded “premium” w/up to 10% Ethanol laden swamp water here in southern California.With my vintage Mopars, I always add Lucas Fuel Treatment and TORCO Accelerator to our fuels to protect against detonation. I haven’t had any Ethanol issues though in over 25yrs. of driving with our fuels.I use Carter electric fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, and over 1.5” of laminated hardwood spacer under my Thermoquad 850cfm carbs; keeps the fuel much cooler than otherwise; –70F heat reduction w/laminated wood spacers and –20F with the phenolic resin Thermoquad carburetor float body. I will be adding a cool can, RPM Air Gap (from LD340 intake) and cold air induction to my 340 car later this year to further enhance fuel temps to the carburetor.Nick, what is your thoughts on the advantage of having a fuel pump inside the tank like new vehicles? The new cars need cool fuel to extend the life of the pump but I would prefer the external Carter/Holley/Mallory style pumps externally mounted for easier access on our 50-60’s Hot-Rods.Gary P.From: BobSent: Sunday, May 08, 2016 6:49 AMSubject: In tank fuel pump (WAS: Re: My Car's New Trick)How tough would it be to cobble up a pump onto the plate that holds the fuel sender? But clearance could be an issue??

I am not surprised at the cost of this fuel since it's always been our normal. Back in 2002 when I bought my Fury Sunoco ethanol free gasoline was $8.00 at the pump for Sunoco at this same Fairfield station. What does surprise me is the low cost some of you have in other states. Here in CT. most of our fuel arrives by ship in the port of New Haven or Bridgeport. CT allows a destination charge from the port storage to the dealer, ie. mileage.This morning I checked with Pure Fuel Gas Stations and they list 14 distributors of ethanol free gasoline. I checked each of the 14 stations and also learned that these gasoline also contains lead, which I did not know.Happy Mother's Day fuel prices;Octane Price per gal.Berlin Shell 110 9.99Burlington Sunoco 94 98 110 ?Fairfield Sunoco 94 15.00Farmington Advanced Equip 94 ?Haddam Alan's Small Engine Service 95 ?Lakeville Limerock Park 93 6.50New Britain Gallo Auto Sunoco 98 110 112 ?New Milford RT Layton Co. 112 9.50Old Saybrook Saybrook Lawn & Power 94 ?Plainville VP Racing 102 ?Stamford Sunoco 95 16.00Taftville CB Fabrication 95 102 112 ?Windsor Sunoco 110 9.99Woodstock Tractor Supply 94 98 115 ?Living with our vintage cars and ethanol. Again I would like to see a conversion unit made with a reliable electric fuel pump to fit our 62-65 gas tanks making our cars as reliable as our daily drivers.Nick T.
