Most of those guys run some sort of FI, I want to put CIS on the old Willys someday. |

most of these guys run fi butI know of a few that have conveted to propane. Even with Fi if you get at too steep an angle your fuel pickup fails. With propane thats damn near impossible.

Put a flopper in the tank like on a model airplane. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (Fuel pickup is a length of hose, weighted at the end. The weight pulls the pickup hose to the low-point regardless of vehicle attitude) -Ben M. |

A good baffled tank and high pressure fuel system gives you minutes before you lose the motor, I've never lost my motor to starvation - admittedly I don't compete in my rig but I run it pretty hard. Propane is sweet, but filling it is a bitch and now that it's more expensive than gas for generally less ponies.
A number of folks have also done dry sump (or an accumulator, which is quantumly easier), you have the same problems with oil pickup as fuel so they'll use a side oiler just to keep things lubricated. |
