We are, it just has been put on the back burner as we have so many other projects right now.

this is the only issue K-swap doesn't resolve. a long term solution that doesn't require increasing fire risk would be great.

We have had a lot of people respond with positive results overall though certain tracks still cause the car to starve with a decent amount of fuel in the tank still. They are generally extremely long left-hand turns (10+ seconds).

That being said, we have continued to develop a fully in-tank solution we think will allow track goers to run significantly less fuel than with the fuel door alone. We obviously need to test it still (and finalize the design) but we have continued to further the development!

Atlanta motorsports park T-13,14,15 is one long left turn, WOT the whole way. That is the only place I still have trouble with the fuel door installed. I have to top off the tank every session with E85.

It is something that has remained on our "to-do" list but is not an easy solution to solve =/. I think an in-tank solution is the best and only route I would want to do to my car personally so hopefully, someday, we will knock out the solution so everyone can benefit.

I wish I went K-swap with my personal shop car.

Keep us updated. I would gladly pay lots for an in-tank solution. I do not want to have to go to a fuel cell on my street driven car for obvious reasons haha.

Sorry been a long time since I've been on here; just wanted to say thank you to the @Velox Motorsports guys for coming up with the flappy thing!

I put it on my tank (would highly recommend remembering to not do this on a fuel tank *ahem*) and have not had ANY fuel starvation issues since! The Ridge Motorsports Park, Pacific Raceways, Area 27 all have decently long high speed left handers and have not had any issues since installing it. Although $80 seems like a lot for a piece of plastic at first, the value it brought to me was well worth it.

Thanks guys!

Was your part aluminum or plastic?

I installed the plastic (surprise to me!) fuel door I got and it did nothing to improve the fuel starvation issue I was having. Might have made it worse.

I drive at the ridge and still get fuel starve out of t5 and t6 with the verus fuel door running e85.
