Toyota does make a flexible hose which mounts right after the fuel
filter.
I had thought of using this hose.... The fuel filter would be mounted to
the firewall, and the flex hose from there to the intake maniofld/fuel rail.

Right-o....
Any ideas on what pumps are available there on the aftermarket? I would
use the stock Toyota fuel pump, except that
1. I would have to plump the gas tank to recieve it internally- these
pumps are cooled using the gasoline adn will burn out quickly if not
immersed... Which would mean that
2. I'd have to also replumb the fuel lines, custom job all the way, to
be
able to handle the 40+psi fuel pressure. Anyone in the Chicago area do
this kind of work?
Then again, that might just be worth not having to deal with two fuel
pumps... Less moving parts, less to break. Thoughts?
