RCI fuel cell in tank efi fuel pump

[Clubbs]

Would like to switch to an in tank pump for the Holley sniper 2 in my CJ. I've got the RCI 15 gallon fuel cell. Anyone know of a drop in fuel pump for this tank? Seems like it would be easy to find but no luck yet....

Motobilt makes a ring for mounting a Jeep EFI fuel pump in that tank that I've been using on my TJs;

Not sure what the requirements are for the Sniper, but I'd bet it can work with a TJ or JK pump.

Holley makes a drop in unit, if you know what the ring pattern is. They also sell just the pumps. They are basically Walbro though.

It's a pretty standard pattern, 12 bolts on a 5 and 3/8" circle...

Heck, looks like either of those Holley sniper pumps on @paradisePWoffrd's link ought to bolt right in, and they cost less than a TJ pump.

Figure out what lph you need and get a pump!

One issue I've found is the majority of hangers are well short of the RCIs depth and didn't want an intank pump dangling...

Yup, I am going to have to extend mine to reach the bottom of the tank. Just a simple bracket and some hose though,

I put one of these in my 15 gallon rci tank probably 12-14 years ago and it’s still working good.

Thanks for all the replies. Ordered a random assortment of stuff, including a spare pump and a few sizes of submersible efi fuel line.



The inline pump whine and sounds of cavitation is unnerving. Considering I've lost two already, the constant racket lowers the "I'm going to make it up this waterfall" confidence ratio. Hopefully the in tank mod will create all new levels of "hey y'all watch this" in the old CJ

Assume you moved it elsewhere on the cell (and it didn't replace the stock filler flange)?
