So I finally got around to flow testing the fuel pump on Thursday night. Due to the fact that we ran AN lines it was actually very easy for me to extend the return line far enough to reach into the 5gal fuel can with no issues. I just picked up a male/male -6 connector and attached an extra length of hose
However... I ran into two problems. One is a simple fix, the other will require a little bit more effort.
The first problem was that I totally retarded out and forgot to have another (running) car connected to mine by way of jumper cables. Without that 14v power feed from the running car my pump took about 6 minutes to fill the 5 gallons. Easy fix is that I'll just push my car out of the garage and do it again with a car attached.
Here's the other problem I found... While doing the test I found a distinct bulge in the short length of rubber fuel hose on the feeding side.
THAT is not good. I'm debating on whether I should replace that with fresh rubber hose (we're holding off on connecting the AN line directly until we make and install the swirl pot) or use a very small but of nylon braided -6 hose that I have left over. The internal diameter of the -6 is about identical to the outer diameter of the stock lines, so I'm thinking it *should* seal tight with a worm clamp...
I'm def open to suggestions from the pro's on that though ^_^
