    My mini buggy just isn't working out with the VFR tnak and pump. Sure, having a fuel gauge is awesome, but I'm going to have to ditch the thing and run an inline pump.

    There's a slew of 60psi/110lph pumps on eBay for $50~60. Would that be adequate for the VFR800?

    I believe stock fuel pressure is 36 psi.

    Yes quite right, 36psi or 250kPa. Fuel flow is stated at 150mL per 10 sec, which is 54L/hr. The higher flow rate and pressure might be too much for the fuel pressure regulator to handle?
