just wondering how darn hot does it get up in there????
could the fuel be heated up enough to cause vapor lock more readily?? (this I doubt, but had to ask (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |

QUOTE(maf914 @ Sep 9 2004, 05:46 AM) It would seem that the trunk and tank temperature would be dependent on the max air temp coming off the radiator. I don't know what that would be. 140? 160? 180? The bulkhead between the trunk and tank will eventually approach the max air temp, during which the tank is also being heated. Interesting question. My bet is kinda.. You should have at least 3x exit to intake area for air. So the hot air is leaving. All easy with conventional front or rear engine cars, but middies a problem. Put the fuel tank by the engine or radiator?? You do lose the front storage area when you do this kind of conversion. Cooling the fuel, or better yet the fuel/air mixture is always a good idea. |
