Time is running out and the pace has certainly picked up. We are trying to get a car running on a Throttle Body Injection system to take to the big British show in Stowe, Vermont next month.

While much of the work is done there are details yet to be completed. Last week an electric fuel pump was mounted and the fuel lines run. A pre filter as well as a final fuel filter have been installed. Not really sure if the prefilter is necessary but it affords extra protection to the pump. On my multi port system the prefilter became partially plugged soon after installation causing the pump to make a whinning sound as it starved for fuel. Starvation may be worse for the pump than a little dirt that gets caught on it’s intake screen. Perhaps the large volume of fuel circulated by the multiport pump, cycled all the dirt in the tank thru the filter. I don’t expect that to be the case with this system as the return line doesn’t run all the way back into the tank. These lines, filters and pump are installed alongside the original Triumph fuel system allowing Aaron to drive the car while the conversion progresses.
