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? |

Avoid hydramats. It doesn't work well in EFI high pressure applications well. IF you are using a mechanical pump low pressure they may work well and may be a stopgap.
I use a Radium FCST which is a FuelSafe 15 gal Endurance cell with an internal surge tank. I never had any issues with fuel starvation. I would pick this cell every single time no question. Also has an FIA internal bladder. The foam does fall apart every 3 years. I've had this since 2017. I do need to change it this winter. Attached image(s) |
