Hi all
Wasn't sure where to post this, I put it in Vendor section, but it's not really something we MAKE, thought it might garner interest here... With the help of Mike Phillips out in Oregon, we've had Fuel Safe design a fully compliant fuel cell for 914's that fits into the stock tank location and holds 14 gallons vs. the PMS tank that holds only 10. - All fittings come out the top: Pickup (-8), Return (-6), Vent (-6) - Includes level sending unit that works with the stock gauge (slight wiring adjustment needed at the sending unit connection point) - Includes high pressure pump mounted internal to the cell - Capacity of 14 gallons - Fuel Safe bladder and foam inside - Aluminum outer shell Price is $3,495 plus paypal fees and shipping. We are the sole suppliers of this tank. A few pictures below. The cell comes with the tabs you see on the top front and rear to allow for bracketing/clamping. The clamps you see on the front and rear in the pictures are not included, allowing the owner to determine how they would like to secure the unit. Mike drilled holes directly to the front firewall bulkhead and ran bolts through the top tab to secure it. I preferred making clamps that are bolted to the firewall. |

I suppose I never really thought about that angle since all my experience to date has been 15-30 minute events/sessions.
Back "in the day" (or now) how did 914's run endurance events - was there an extended or secondary tank fitted similar to the 100L enduro tanks on the 911s? Or they just pitted every hour? There's just not much additional room for fuel besides the passenger seat/floor or rear trunk which obviously aren't ideal/safe/allowed. |
