Default Walbro 450 in stock bucket....

Who has a good how to thread on putting a walbro 450 in a factory plastic fuel bucket ? I've seen a couple threads but none in great detail with PICS.

Interesting. I've got a Magnafuel 4303 pump externally mounted triggered by a Hobbs switch but a also want a stout in tank pump that will move a ton of E85.

Ill take a look through my pics and see if I have anything still but I have two Walbro 450 in tank. I had to cut up the stock pump bucket a bit to make them fit but its possible.

In our testing in the BMW world, the bucket is a large restriction in flow, so I deleted my bucket and have the pickup sitting on the bottom of the tank. You can even get a custom sock for situations where you need fuel in extreme G's or in turns.

I don't have any proof its the same on a C5 but the bucket sizes are very similar. Something to think about...

Thx. I'm not against eliminating the bucket. I'd feel better if I could see a picture or drawing. Lol
