Hi all, can anyone tell me if the pumps in the SPI and MPI tanks kick out the same pressure? Ie. are the pumps the same with pressure being governed by the regulator?

The pumps are different.

Yes, I've just swapped an SPI tank for an MPI tank and the MPI is MUCH heavier.

Certainly don't seem to be able to get as much fuel in Candice's stock MPi tank as I could in the SPi tank in my old turbo mini ... might be due to foam filling or baffling or similar .... who is going to cut one open to find out???? LOL

The SPI pump stalls if you try and get it to deliver more than 1.5 bar. I know, I've tried!!

Ok, as I say every day is a school day!! I might have to fire up my MPi tank and see what it can do both pressure and flow wise .... now where the hell have I put it??????? Seriously ....

Thanks guys, got the option of a cheap SPI tank so think I'll go ahead with that and stick another pump in there.

Is there any notable external distinguishing features of an mpi/spi tank? I have one that is supposed to be an Mpi (it feels real solid so must be foam filled) but just want to know for sure. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

If you tap it with your hand, it sounds dull, almost like it was lined with foam (LOL).
