Moby, my old FP racecar has a ATL SP108 fuel cell that holds 8 gallons. Since it now has a 3.0L /6 instead of the FP 1.8 /4 in it I am thinking when I start road racing I will need a bigger fuel cell, no? The 8 gallons is plenty for AXing, butis it enough for road racing?

we often return with 1/2 gallon or less. sometimes less than 1/8th some type of surge tank or reservoir is mandatory. (especially for F.I. !) Brant I like the little tank you have mounted in the car I run a 6 gal tank and get about 20 mins. If running with the extra accumulator I can get 2 more laps and every drop of fuel I would be happy. Where did you buy that tank? And can you show me the routing and the way it works. |

[/quote] its really designed as a surge tank, to keep fuel from splashing from side to side and evading the fuel pick up. Its a moroso oil accumulator with new AN fittings TIG welded onto it to convert it over for use with fuel. the routing is that one fuel pump picks up from the cell, runs through a filter, and then into the surge tank. Out of the bottom of the surge tank, a 2nd fuel pump runs back to the carbs, or f.i (these systems are absolutely necessary for racing ITB's or F.I. systems that need to maintain constant fuel supply) After feeding the induction, the fuel is routed back in a circulatory system to return to the tank. Additionally the surge tank has an overflow that also returns to the tank Cool recirculatory fuel is your friend! brant |
