    Default In tank Pump?

    I've picked up a SPI tank, but need to know what's the best pump to run it in to power my LET.

    What's the score?

    I've think I remember reading before some people use a mk3 16v Astra in tank pump

    mk3 Astra one is in-tank yes. From what I understood they are the same across the MPI range (1.6 2.0 etc). I ran one for both my 16SE and 20XE.

    You may find the bottom touches the plastic swirl pot, from what I remember you can either compress it in slightly or attempt to shorten it.

    Id imagine most of the GM/Bosch internal pumps are the same?
    Corsa 16v, Vectra etc?
    The good news is that the high-flow internal pumps from the likes of Walbro etc are pretty cheap, compared to the external ones.

    They are mostly the same sizes so you can't go far wrong if you get one for a vauxhall!

    As said most MPI in tank pumps are similar, if you get a Walbro 255 for a corsa b or Astra f you should be ok, mines got a standard corsa MPI pump in the tank.
