Whatever your car originally came with, you can't beat the OEM setup 
for reliability.  If you try to change to something different you 
will have to match the understanding and deep pockets of the 
engineers who designed her.  Perhaps you're up to that, but more 
likely you're more like the rest of us.

"Upgrading" the fuel system is the first thing that most new owners 
think of trying, but it is a tricky business and you would be well 
advised to study hard and learn as much as you can before you start 
changing things.  Learn to walk before you try to fly. 

And don't just assume that the people who would like to sell you the 
"upgrades" know all about their products.  Remember, their goal in 
business is to make money, not to give you the best possible 
products.
