A1000 Controller or not?

[CJ]

I have mine set up just like yours and once the temps hit the 90* combined with a 30 mile commute its on.

probably true, I only drove that setup in the winter before I sold it.

mine was fine for all last summer sans controller, but now with the turbo adding heat under the hood it became a problem

I was running 15psi of boost in that time period and it was doing just fine, that car just didn't bitch. Never had any problems out of the car to speak of. Except 7 T-5's, that was a problem.

to add to that mine doesn't "become a problem" unless you spend a significant amount of time idling (10+ mins in the heat of the day just idling after the engine is already hot)

Is this on an EFI car?

yes

[turbostang]

yes

Ok.

I'd make sure the return is as far from the pickup as possible. I don't think a controller is necessary, especially if the car doesn't make a lot of power and you can get by with lower fuel pressure.

Be sure to insulate the hoses where possible and keep them away from hot stuff in the engine bay and along side the exhaust system etc.

Thanks.
Does it make a difference rubber/braided
hoses?

You know, I checked my pictures and I was running in the heat all the way up to july before I sold it. I had a meth injection system though which might explain it... but then again it has no effect until it's atomized. Whatever, that was damn near 6 years ago.

Little update, Got done and was able to clear (barely) my 3" tailpipes
Went Braided as tailpipes are very close to some lines



That tailpipe was still hanging
















Before i replaced the 45* for the red-blue 90*
Already cleaned up those loose wires...............

[KBScobravert]

Glad that tank worked out for ya. That cover was in real good shape too.

[Dan03mach]

That pipe is pretty close to those fitting. I think I would rap them..

I second this post. That is one reason I don't agree with Aeromotive's suggestions to place pump in front of tank. There is just no good way to keep the lines away from the tails. Second reason is that the A1000 is a pusher and not a puller. If you place it too far from the actual fuel feed its pulling and not pushing. It will run hotter than it should, therefore hotter fuel.

You could always put the pump in the tank it self. Just a thought.

[robert]

Yeah Keith that tank is almost new.

Might try relocating the outlet Filter and re-route the feed line
was thinking of placing the filter on the floor, will try something for sure.

I have one on my vert, it doesnt seem to have any problems without a controller. With the larger pumps it is necessary. With the one you have, you can add a controller if you have a problem in the future. You should be ok.
