Fuel pump installation and configuration:
• Supply pump/lift pump installation:
A fuel pump is securely mounted inside the fuel cell and attached to a height-adjustable aluminum mounting pipe. This lift pump continuously supplies the integrated surge tank with fuel, ensuring it remains adequately filled to prevent fuel starvation for the high-pressure fuel pumps.
• High-pressure/feeder pump installation:
One or two additional high-pressure fuel pumps are securely mounted inside the integrated surge tank using a billet aluminum bracket. These pumps merge into a single oversized outlet, guaranteeing a consistent and reliable fuel supply even under high-demand conditions.
The LightCell fuel cell, paired with the CFC Unit, eliminates the risk of fuel starvation even in extreme driving conditions. Thanks to the internal foam baffling and innovative surge tank design, fuel delivery remains consistent and reliable no matter the situation. With the additional fuel pump mounting kits offered by Nuke Performance, it has never been easier to set up a high-performance, long-lasting, and easy-to-maintain fuel system for your motorsports build.

• A single oversized outlet equals fewer hoses and less mess
The oversized AN-10 ORB outlet combines the internal fuel pumps into a single high-flow fuel line, reducing the need for additional external components. The AN-8 ORB return port efficiently directs fuel back into the surge tank, ensuring it remains consistently full. We offer fittings in both straight AN-to-AN versions and space-saving Full Flow Banjo fittings, ideal for tight installations, and available for both supply and return ports.
