    will this work?

    If a said car has two fuel pumps, an in-tank feeder pump and an inline high pressure pump can the car be ran without the high pressure pump if you swap the intank feeder pump for a regular pump or a 255lph???

    will there be issues with pressure? I cant see how there would be. FPR controls pressure.

    Basically remove in line pump. replace space with fuel line and add a regular pump in the tank...

    thoughts??

    you will want to replace the inline high pressure pump with pipe or hose. other wise you will be generating electricity by pushing fuel through the pump. so you'll have a drop in pressure and velocity.

            oh, your in-tank low pressure lift pump should have a 13mm fuel line and the stock late model in-tank pumps have an 8mm line. so make sure you get a high pressure pump that wont need adapters.
