Nova saloon with let conversoin, It has a saloon 4dr 1.2 carb tank now if i fit a external walbro 255 pump will this suck & feed engine ok,

Only i've read about some pumps need gravity feed, but will the walbro suck & pump....

[MattBrown]

Yeah it will, till you come to a corner.

No swirl pot, will starve the pump, air lock, and run lean as fook.

Melty melty pistons time:)

You need a return line too, don't know about your pump tho

my xe 5 door, ran on a carb tank and a std gsi external pump, never had more then 1/4 tank it,

ran fine, even a geforce 9 around the corners lol

Obviously not ran one then lol

All mine did was miss and pink like fook on roundabouts etc.

Never again will I use one, but by all means go for it.

The 1.2 carb tank i have has two fuel lines feed & return, its has an inprint in top where on some models there must be an internal pump fitted,

Was going to try & fit a swirl pot from a corsa b tank but too much hassel & dont wanna start fitting external swirl pots & two pumps, so just going for std 1.2 carb tank & walbro 255 pump,

I know will get splutter on low tank so will need to keep fuel a serton level...

me no never lol

you should never run a tank lower then 1/4 anyway lol

[bazil]

Where your fuel level sensor is does it have screws holding it in or does it twist in?

[sneakycorsa]

bazil, Not sure with out looking tomoz, i know the fuel lines are at the front & the level sender wires are at the rear so it must be at the rear too, but cant remember if it bolts or twists,

what difference does this make out of intrest ?

[bazil]

If it bolts in you could use ( if you find one ) a GTE/GSI sensor that feeds a external pump used on the GTE/GSI, it'll run a let fine,

[sneakycorsa]

Yes i did notice gte/gsi feed comes out the rear on some photos,

out of more intrest why does my tank have the mold where a internal pump can or would of been fitted & the hole under the rear seat to gain access ? Or is that just std factory spec..

If i run a gte/gsi feed/sensor it still wont have a swirl pot tho will it so what will be the difference ?

[16v Nova Kev]

just dont run it on vapors and it will be fine.

[bazil]

A gsi tank has a pot inside the tank to hold fuel while cornering, the standard tank does not have that, the gsi sender will work in a standard tank and all the tanks have the imprint, even my gsi has the access hole in the floor lol

[bazil]

just dont run it on vapors and it will be fine.

and this lol
