Hi to all , I have a 85 GMC short bed (under construction) I would like to install a blazer rear tank and get rid of the side tank . Has anyone done this , I searched and could not find a thread about this . I want to use the smaller tank 20 gal. and would like to install a throttle body fuel injection . If I use a 87 tank and sender does anyone know of a fuel pump that will fit the sender unit and have 65 lbs. of pressure . The stock pump for the 87 is only 35lbs.
I have been reading a lot of the threads and the amount of knowledge you guys have is amazing . Don

OK , I have done some looking around and this is what I have found . Using a 87 blazer tank and sending unit to get 65 lbs. pressure you need for a fuel tech throttle body fuel injection use a Delco EP381 fuel pump . Don

Doesn't the Chevy TBI like about 13# of fuel pressure? Inquiring minds want to know.
