Surge tank pumps

Quick question going to run a surge tank in the back for when the sr goes in.

If im going to run a bosch 044 to the engine does this mean technicaly the lift pump should also be a 044 otheewise if you were to floor it youd run the surge tank dry?

Just thinking out aloud any adivce would be great.


Cheers,
Jordan

    No, you definitely do not need (or want) an 044 lift pump. Something like a Carter (or even a Facet) will be fine.

    The carter pumps come in three different pressure ratings
    5-7, 6-12 and 14-16 which one should I be getting? The're cheap so I'm happy.

    The cheapest, you are not running it under pressure and it will outflow your needs anyway.

    The pressure doesn't matter. What does is the volume of fuel it will shift, the 044 will do the pressurizing.
