I need to put together a new order of parts, so I came up with some new questions on efi fuel lines and the sump.
About the sump : I know it would be better to have a sump welded to the tank, but since the 79 uses a bladder inside the tank, this is a mayor no. I came up with the idea to mount a fuel sump under the hood. This is basically comparable to a dry sump tank. I have one question though : the sump is fed by a low pressure pump. Will this stop pumping once the sump is full ?
About the fuel lines. I read a lot about seeping braided fuel lines, which is why I decided to move away from braided and go to alu tubing, only to use braided in those place that move vs eachother. I would like to retain the an fitting for ease of use and maintenance. Is there a reference chart which type/dimensions of sleeves to use with which tube diameter ? The tubes seems to be quoted in inch rather than AN sizes.
