Rh Stainless Tank

Hi,

 

Has anyone fitted the R H E stainless steel fuel tank when using a 2.0 dohc i Sierra engine?

If so does the inj fuel pump and sender unit fit OK?

I want to replace the crap steel tank (escort I think) that RHE supplied with my kit so that I can get my boot space back.

The problem you will have is the RH tank has no swirl pot and the injection pump is fed from the bottom of the Sierra tank, it wont lift the fuel up out of the tank. There are number of solutions which have been on here before.

One solution would be to fit an external swirl pot fed by a low pressure pump then attach the injection pump to the bottom of that.

Another would be to find an in tank fuel pump not sure which one but seem to remember Vauxhall.

A third option is what I did and have a swirl pot with a 15mm outlet for the pump welded onto the bottom of the fuel tank.

 

The sender will fit okay but a return pipe will need to be attached to the tank.

My one did but it was a DOHC kit still NBG so fitted a lift pump and swirl pot and an external injection pump.

If doing again I would fit a take off from bottom of tank pos two one each end then with copper feed the in line injection pump with a filter in line

 

or to a second tank /swirl pot with an internal injection pump. This could be behind diff.

My scenario for the last 4 years.

 

40 litre RHE tank, external fuel pump and filter on back of tank --2.0 DOHC up front.

No swirl pot --no problems..

I'm with Graham on this one.

 

2B with standard stainless 40 litre tank, using standard sierra efi fuel pump sucking the fuel up from the tank through the standard sierra can fuel filter on a recirculation system. No swirl pot fitted either. A swirl pot is only needed when you spend a lot of time going round a long right hand turn with little fuel in the tank (less than 15 litres). It covers the scenario when all the fuel has rushed to the left side of the tank and the pickup is not immersed in fuel, i.e. it's sucking fumes. Unless that is how you drive the car 95% of the time, don't bother with the other add on bits!

Use a Golf GTI pump, comes complete with filter & "accumulator" (small swirl pot). Les Welsher is using one on his RS - no probs even on the track as far as I know.
