cobra tank install

hardhitter · October 28th, 2009, 05:16 AM

What is need to install a cobra tank with dual pumps? What year cobra tank, ect?

carnut59 · October 28th, 2009, 11:08 AM

You don't need the tank, just the sending unit/pump assy. The tanks are the same.

I'm almost positive the tanks are different. Something about baffled vs. non-baffled I think. Someone else that actually knows can chime in about it though.

wraitherx · October 28th, 2009, 12:06 PM

they are different the termi tanks have 2 pumps and the tank is sumped so you don't have to worry about fuel not getting to the pumps on heavy accel or turns.

dcook_14 · October 28th, 2009, 12:15 PM

yeah, i think that was it sumped vs. non-sumped. wraitherlx you're getting reps for backing me up and having a damn nice avatar

You need a 03-04 cobra tank and pumps. The swap is super easy, it just bolts right in.

Cobra tank with sump

GT tank

The hardest part is swapping the blue plug things. They were in there good on my tank, but i did it without damaging them at all. It takes about 1hr.

wraitherx · October 28th, 2009, 12:46 PM

great post Joe, reps for the picture differences

Boostang · October 28th, 2009, 01:53 PM

lol.. you cant even tell the diff.. but ur gonna want too do the swap.. going lean under heavy accel sucks!

hardhitter · October 28th, 2009, 02:44 PM

okay lets say that i want to do this as cheaply as possible.. can i fit 2 pumps in the gt tank with modification? the ford gt pump with bap is pegged

Boostang · October 28th, 2009, 02:47 PM

yes.. many ppl on this site has done so

hardhitter · October 28th, 2009, 02:53 PM

what are the minimum parts i need? can i just get another gt pump and wire it in with some kind of y connection to hook them together? can i wire 2 different pumps together say a focus pump and a gt pump? i know thats weird but just wondering

Boostang · October 28th, 2009, 02:59 PM

are u tlking about the the stock gt pumps?? or the ford gt pumps?

hardhitter · October 28th, 2009, 02:59 PM

sorry ford gt pumps

Trick Tuners · October 28th, 2009, 03:10 PM

I would use the same pumps. Get the gates hose that is something like $5 a foot. I forget the model number, but regular fuel hose is not rated to be submersed. It has to be high pressure fuel injection hose too. Get a brass or SS Y fitting, hose clamps, etc, and solder and heat shrink the connections. Eliminate the PPRV too if you have not already. If you do not go with the sumped tank, never let it go below about 1/4 tank.

okay and do both pumps fit in the stock gt basket? how much will dual cobra pumps flow vs a ford gt? what would happen if i used different pumps?

Boostang · October 28th, 2009, 05:41 PM

the 03/04 cobra pumps flow like 390 i believe.. i dunno about the gt pumps

There are at least a couple of "how-to's" articles floating around the internet regarding the installation of the 03/04 cobra fuel tank and dual pumps.
