Fuel Delivery Question

[BlueNun]

Whats up guys. I have a Tahiti with twin 20 gallon or so Imco tanks. I'm building a fairly stout 468ci Chevy. What is the best and smoothest way to feed it fuel from both tanks. I have a Y block sitting around so should I invest in a pair of electric fuel pumps with some sort of switch or what??
Thanks

Are they top feed or bottom? I would just use a y block with the bottom feed tanks so they keep the fuel even and use 1/2 fuel line .

I am running a y block from both Imco 11 gallon saddle tanks. Goes from tanks to y block to fuel filter to electric fuel pump to Aeromotive fuel pressure reg then to carbs. Just finished this setup on my new motor. Pretty much the same setup before except i was using a Mechanical pump.Didnt have any problems then and everything good so far. Hope this helps ... CT

Thanks guys. I always thought the electric pumps were better at pushing instead of pulling but I guess its not like a car with the tank so far away. So whats a great pump to buy??

Aeromotive.. just my 2 cents..

Go mechanical and forget about it.
The above described system seems to work well for me(open lines from tanks to Y block, thru filter to mech. pump and to carbs with regulator, in my case a bypass style).
IMO, electric pumps increase your chances of failure on the water.

I was going back mechanical, but i had a electric pump come with my blower deal. So i set it up that way as my old holley (MP) was to small to put back on.

I run a 540 twin turbo set up and run both works well never a problem
