Cartech Stage I & II Fuel Systems
Our Fuel Systems are the most completesystems on the market today. With two research and developmentvehicles running in many of the Ford Racing events, testing isalways ongoing.
The Stage I and Stage II fuels systemsboth use a single Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump and filter, with stainless braided -8 (1/2")feed lines and -6 (3/8") return. The biggest difference betweenthe two is the fuel rails. Stage I is perfect for individuals who already have rails and a regulator. Stage II utilizes the 5/8"I.D. billet aluminum rails with a billet Aeromotive adjustable regulator. Stage II-M uses the USCG Certified Marine pump, Stage II-E uses the upgraded Eliminator pump, and the Stage II-P uses the upgraded Pro-Series pump.
You can purchase the items in a kit formor separately. The following pages also contain a diagram on howto route your fuel system, and the components needed to completeyour application.

Fuel Pick Up Tube
A Cartech original, developed in 1989 forthe Mustang and T-Bird. The pick up tube is for cars that needmore than the stock, in tank, pumps can provide. The tube allowsthe user to run an external hi-volume pump with your factoryunmodified fuel tank. Inside all E.F.I. tanks there is a baffled tube that keeps fuel from moving away from the pick up area. The Cartech pick up tube also allows you to keep a screen in front of the fuel pump, the way it was engineered. This helps to prevent the user from installing the filter before the pump. The fuel pick up tube is madefrom aircraft aluminum and welded on a jig for accuratereproduction. The foot at the bottom of the 1/2" feed tubeallows the use of the factory Ford screen located on the end ofthe original pump assembly. No modification is needed to install,the the pick up tube uses factory o-ring and retainer.

Fuel Rails
Our fuel rails are of the highest qualityfound anywhere! The rail material is 6061-T6 aluminum alloy andcan be brushed, anodized red or blue, and etched with our logo.These larger rails (5/8") are designed for those racers making more than600 hp at the engine or for the show car enthusiast.
Why 600 hp or more? We found that thestock rails work up to approximately 610/625 on the dyno with ourfuel rail fittings. We've tested Y- blocks to the back of eachrail with one big pump and also two smaller pumps. We cut therails and welded fittings on all four corners. None of theseefforts allowed us to move enough fuel to the injectors to makemore power. The need for fuel pulsing reduction in the rail andincreasing the injector's reservoir became apparent about 600 BHP.
These rails are designed to clearfactory and MSD distributors and all available brands of injectorclips ( i.e.. Electromotive, Haltech, Ford, and Digital FuelInjection) so that no cutting or grinding is necessary. All fuelentry and exit holes are drilled and tapped to 3/8 National PipeThread ( NPT ) to accept a -10, -8 or -6 fittings. The injectorholes are drilled then reamed, with a shoulder left at the verytop to insure that the user cannot push the injectors too farinto the rail and cause leakage.
The Fuel Rails also come with all thenecessary mounting brackets that allow you to mount them in thesame location as your factory rails, using the original bolts. Aset of four 1/4" aluminum spacers are provided fordistributor clearance. For example, the original Ford unit andlarge MSD unit use them, however the small distributors do not.

Fuel Pumps
One of the biggest problems people with hi-performanceengines face is fuel delivery. From top fuel dragsters down tothe slightly modified street car. It seems some people never takeinto account that when adding more air to the engine , you musthave fuel to go with it to make power. One without the other willnot create power; you must have both, and the right amount. It isurgent your fuel system keep up with the demands of a performanceengine, both in volume and pressure. The first step is to choosethe right fuel pump. Most manufacturers rate their pumps at acertain pressure. The chart below will show you the effects offuel flow, versus pressure rated fuel flow. All models weretested by this company with a consistent 12 volt charging system.

FAQs
What are the parts of the fuel system? ›
The fuel system is made up of the fuel tank, pump, filter and injectors or carburetor, and is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine as needed. Each component must perform flawlessly to achieve expected vehicle performance and reliability.
How many parts are there to the fuel system? ›We all know that our vehicles need fuel to run, but what happens when we put gasoline into the tank? The answer lies in the fuel system. Your car's fuel system has five main components: the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel filters, fuel pumps, and fuel injectors.
What causes diesel injector pump failure? ›A major cause for fuel injection pump problems is the use of dirty fuel. Over time, residue builds up throughout your system. Using poor-quality fuel exacerbates this issue. Bring your vehicle in for auto repair if you notice sputtering or your vehicle hesitates when accelerating.
How does a fuel system work? ›A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine, rather than the compression-ignited systems used in diesel vehicles. In a spark-ignited system, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and combined with air. The air/fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from the spark plug.
What fuel system means? ›Fuel system means all components involved in transporting, metering, and mixing the fuel from the fuel tank to the combustion chamber, including the fuel tank, fuel tank cap, fuel pump, fuel filters, fuel lines, carburetor or fuel-injection components, and all fuel-system vents.
What are the 3 main engine systems? ›Systems required to run the engine. There are three major engine systems necessary to keep an internal combustion engine running. They are the ignition system, the lubrication system, and the fuel system.

How do you tell if a diesel injector is clogged? ›- Misfiring Engine. If you notice that your engine is sputtering, especially when you accelerate, it's possible that your fuel injectors are partially clogged. ...
- Rough Idling. ...
- Poor Fuel Economy. ...
- Sporadic RPM Needle. ...
- Dead Engine.
What are the symptoms of a clogged fuel filter on a diesel engine? ›
In the case of a clogged diesel fuel filter, the engine will likely start to idle rough and perhaps sound like it is going to stall. This is especially true when cold. Once heated up, the engine may sound like it is choking because there isn't enough fuel getting into the engine's fuel injectors.
What is the most common problem in the diesel engine? ›- Contaminated Fuel. Diesel fuel is denser than gasoline is, which is why it is also able to produce more energy per gallon. ...

- Too Much Noise.
Fuel Injector pressures are controlled via a pressure regulator. Any fuel which is not used and exceeds pressure rates is returned via fuel lines back into the fuel tank.
What is the importance of fuel system? ›The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air, vaporized, and burned to produce energy. The fuel, which can be either gasoline or diesel is stored in a fuel tank.
What is the basic flow of fuel system? ›From the selector valve (LEFT, RIGHT, or OFF), fuel flows through the main strainer where it can supply the engine primer. Then, it flows downstream to the fuel pumps. Typically, one electric and one engine-driven fuel pump are arranged in parallel. They draw the fuel from the tank(s) and deliver it to the carburetor.
What is a fuel system problem? ›A malfunctioning fuel system can prevent an engine from starting but so can other problems such as lack of spark, a blocked air intake, or a broken timing belt and simply no fuel in the fuel tank. Be sure to rule out these possibilities before continuing to diagnose the fuel system.
What is fuel pump system? ›A fuel pump is a component in motor vehicles that transfers liquid from the fuel tank to the carburetor or fuel injector of the internal combustion engine.
