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? |

good reminder about the foam
the foam has a fairly short life when it breaks down, it creates havoc with the filters and not fun to chase I'd recommend the expensive foam about every 3-4 years I'm inspecting my bladder annually now and SVRA is accepting that so far |

good reminder about the foam Drain your fuel tank, lines, and carbs between seasons, especially if you're using fuel with alcohol. definitely. and I moved over to AV gas, as the octane was adequate for me at altitude and the fuel is more stabile than the race gas I used to use it required re-jetting for all of the tracks but eliminated other problems. I pull the bladder, inspect and oil it annually... store it without fuel over the winter |
