Hi everyone, I’m getting my 914 back into racing shape. The ATL fuel cell is old and was installed by PO for endurance racing, 22 gallons.
I have replaced everything downstream of the Holley pump, and now thinking of a smaller tank for sprints. (Can’t see myself doing endurance racing, although I would love to). The Fuel Safe cells are more affordable than ATL, and carry the FIA cert. They can be ordered with the Holley pickup mats, which also eliminates the need for a 100 micron filter before the pump. Does anyone here have anything negative to say about them from personal experience? What size tank should I get for my 914-4 built engine (2.0)? I’m thinking 8 gallon? |

FIA harnesses are 5 years; they have an expiration year on the tag, good through 12/31 of that year with the SCCA.
SFI belts are 2 years with the SCCA, good through 12/31 of their expiration year with the SCCA. Don't buy SFI belts. Just don't. Fuel bladder expiration dates are not enforced within the SCCA. You'll need to remove your bladder regularly and inspect its condition. |

Check the rules of the org's you'll be racing with. Many people inspect the bladder and reuse if still in good condition. Look for drying/cracking and leaks. And it's a good idea to replace the foam if the bladder looks reusable.
If you replace, 22 gallons is pretty darn big for a /4 and a bladder may be expensive. But check your options if you decide to go that route. |
