Default Bosch 040 in tank....

Following on from the thread about 044, I was going to use one of these but du to space would prefer an in tank pump. Ive been looking at the Bosch 040.

Bosch 0 580 254 040 In Tank Fuel Pump

Bosch 040 fuel pumps are universal style in tank fuel pump replacements recommended for vehicles exceeding OE specifications. The Bosch 040 fuel pump is one of the only in tank fuel pump that can be compared with the Walbro 255LPH High Pressure series fuel pumps for use in vehicles with up to 700 horsepower.

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump Specs:
Bosch Part Number: 0 580 254 040
Minimum Current: 12 Volts
Operating Pressure: 94 PSI (6.5 Bar)
Minimum Flow @ Outlet: 80 GPH (300 LPH)
Fuel Pump Location: In Tank

High Temperature Reduction: 8 GPH (30 LPH)
Weight: 930 Grams (2.05 Pounds)
Fuel Pump Connections:
Inlet: Open Base
Outlet: M10 x 1.0

Electrical: Positive M6 / Negative M5


For comparison here is the 044


Bosch 0 580 254 044 Inline Fuel Pump

Bosch 044 fuel pumps mount inline (out side of your gas tank), most commonly rear center under your car or truck. Each Bosch 044 inline fuel pump provides 300LPH of flow and operate at 72.5 PSI. Bosch 044 fuel pumps are comparable to the Walbro 255LPH high pressure inline fuel pumps which can both support vehicles for up to 600-700 horse power. Can be used in sequence with an intank Walbro or Bosch 040 fuel pump.
Bosch 044 Fuel Pump Specs:
Bosch Part Number: 0 580 254 044
Minimum Current: 12 Volts
Operating Pressure: 72.5 PSI (5 Bar)
Minimum Flow @ Outlet: 80 GPH (300 LPH)
Fuel Pump Location: In-Line

High Temperature Reduction: 8 GPH (30 LPH)
Weight: 1030 Grams (2.27 Pounds)
Fuel Pump Connections:
Inlet: M18 x 1.5
Outlet: M12 x 1.5

Electrical: Positive M6 / Negative M5
They appear on paper to be very similar but Im not sure why there is a difference in operating pressure. I assume either would be ample for 400bhp at 3bar?

Cheers!

Just a bump seeing as no one has replied and this is meant to be a car forum!

I think it would be more than enough for the task to be honest. I fitted the first uprated pump from standard when I had a Subaru, which was meant to be good for 500bhp IIRC.

I've heard other people using the 044's in tank but it's 'supposed' to be gravity fed, wether it makes a diff or not...

044's are good for 500, maybe even slightly more
