[urq] RE: [Es2] fuel pump

[Buchholz, Steven]

... the fuel system on the urQ should be able to supply whatever the new
motor needs on pressure, flow rate might be an issue.  IST quotes nominal
system pressure as 5.2-6.0 bar.  The pump is mounted outside the tank on the
ury.  Fortunately, the system pressure is determined by the FI system, so it
should auto-compensate when you do the engine swap.  For measuring pressure,
I have a fuel pressure gauge I've had for years ... as we saw on the Fox the
thing measures up to and beyond 10 bar.  You can get a pretty nice pressure
gauge/adapter set from JC Whitney.
