    Tank looks good.

    Why on earth are you manually priming your car to start it?

    What ECM are you using? Does it not have a prime pulse that is adjustable? Even with a mechanical fuel pump you shouldn't have to manually squirt fuel into it to start.

    I run a mechanical pump with a FAST SEFI ( 13.4 gal min ) the first time it is fired after sitting for a while it has to have just a little squirt to prime the pump to make enough pressure for the EFI. Once it starts I rarely have to prime it again the entire day. I wouldnt have to prime it, but is sure is hard on the starter spinning it over to get enough rail pressure for the EFI. A buddy of mine lost a Pro Mod race with EFI turbo car because they didnt have a primer bottle handy and couldnt fire. I like the just in case LOL

    Ok, I gotcha.

    13.4 gal/min...holy @#$%.


    Could probably dump my entire fuel load on my bike into it just to get it to fire....
