As I continue to plan out my build/updates, I've considered going to a surge tank in the front of the car to prevent and fuel starvation and/or be able to use the full 16.4 gallons (plus whatever is in the surge tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).
My car probably won't ever see true slicks, but it still corners pretty hard, enough to slosh fuel away from the pickup I'm sure. I'm just curious if anyone else has ever felt the need for a surge tank in their cars, or has any particular tips/tricks before I begin my designs? Thanks! Happy race season.

George - Not sure if you are planning on a fuel cell, but we were able to find an ex-nascar 18 gallon cell - used steel can with a new bladder pretty cheap on eBay. Basically, it allows us to run 18 gallons + the 1/2 gallon surge tank:)

As said, things are at a little bit of standstill with family matters at the moment, plus the Chumpcar rules being all up in the air. I thought that HeaterGuy's thread was interesting, because I had never considered running the car in SCCA, but ITE is a possibility. If I did so, it would definitely get a fuel cell. I like the NASCAR cell idea. I'll keep a look out. -G |
