Still having dramas with fuel delivery. I am getting very skilled at removing the fuel tank. Takes just 10 mins to remove and replace the tank by myself. I have replaced all the fuel hoses with Gates EFI hoses. Now I am getting 80 PSI before the fuel reg, and that is the problem now for the standard Jeep Fuel pump. the pump stops when I am idling for about 30 secs. This is also the case when I am slowing down for a corner. I think the pump is overheating trying to push 80 PSI. It is ok when I am driving as the fuel is cooling the pump with fuel flow. I have ordered a new pump and I hope this will fix this problem. The pump draws 5 amps whem working OK then drops to 2 amps and no pressure. I might fill the tank and see if this externally cools the pump. Otherwise, it goes like the clappers. Scares a lot of HSV's up here...
