Im currently using a dual hydramat system in my car and it's not quite getting me the results I want. Two HUGE mats likely will still starve from not enough submersion. A triple Y system with 4 mats (one on each side of the saddle, and one on each end), may do the trick.
Unfortunately I only have so much time to work on my own projects  |
Okay, fine...I"ll agree - Surge tank is the way to go
. It's just so tight on space in the tank! I Worked on replacing the rubber seal between my fuel tank and pump basket that I gacked when installing my (ineffective) Velox Fuel Flapper. Measured some, and I cant fit the stack up of fittings I'd want in the tank with the mat, etc.
Which brings me to the question I have for all the kids that have installed surge tanks for heavy duty track use (and are using the factory main tank): How have you guys run the fuel flow from the surge tank, back into the main fuel tank? Specifically, what configuration of fittings, washers, and location did you use to breach the factory setup and have an inlet into the factory tank?
I have seen some pictures on here of a setup by someone named Visconti, but they are banned, and I cant message them. It looked like a 90 degree AN fitting that had been drilled through the top of the fuel pump basket. This seems like a good, simple location that can be done easily, but how would i seal it fuel tight against E85?
