I would think that a fuel pump assembly from a flex fuel vehicle would be a great option, but also believe that most modern fuel pumps and FPRs are fine with E85.

Good quality is getting harder and harder to find.

Only one way to find out hahah.eanico wrote:Will the phantom fuel pump support E85 as is, meaning non-e85 kit?

Re: in tank fuel pump
I went with the in tank pump kit for my efi build. Didnt like the ribbed tank top and thick rubber gasket to provide a good seal so I had a flange welded to the top of my tank to provide a flat surface and give it some strength.

Re: in tank fuel pump
Mine is in the same area but I did not weld on a flange. The thick gasket sealed off fine and I have not had any leaks. I do admire your setup and it looks nice and strong!
What sending unit are you planning on using? I currently have the stock beetle electronic style with the float arm turned sideways.. it only reads til the fuel level gets down in the sump area. So, less than 1/4 of a tank and I have to guess on my fuel level..

Re: in tank fuel pump
I had a new ww tank for my install so I decided to get the flange added as a precaution before it ever saw fuel in case it turned out that it leaked and I'd then need to weld on a used tank.
I'm planning on using the stock sender, it seems to clear everything OK but as yet its untested.

Re: in tank fuel pump
My setup is very similar to yours Bapajo. I can confirm a stock sending unit works just fine.
