fuel surge tank... izit suppose to help fuel feed when you do extreme cornering? especially for those fuel tank without bracket one...?

heard from my mech say that those fuel tank without bracket (especially on those models not suppose to use for sporty driving) will have problem pumping petrol when the petrol level is low and you whack corner real hard as fuel all go to one side...


lol, honestly when i see the thread topic i thought someone is trying to smuggle petrol or something... XD

here's my surge tank setup. 3 nipples on top, and 1 nipple at bottom.
functions of each top nipple:
1. inlet from 1st fuel pump to surge tank
2. overfill from engine to surge tank
3. overfill from surge tank to petrol tank
function of bottom nipple: from surge tank to 2nd fuel pump to pump to engine.

trackday results
before installing: at 3 quarter tank, there will be fuel surge anything less than 3 quarter tank, definitely surge especially at long corners like turn 5,6 and rear part of track.
after installing: even below E, ngam ngam reach petronas SIC engine die bcos of petrol finish, still holding strong at turn 5,6 without any indication of fuel surge at all. it really really makes a difference.

my costs:
custom designed (by cipan) surge tank, alloy material: RM380
bosch 910 fuel pump: rm380
pipework n workmanship: rm60 (special friend friend price hehehe)

hope it answers all ur questions...

(especially on those models not suppose to use for sporty driving)

i like the way u explained it. exactly true. hehehe

 

[flushafteruse]

and mostly for carburator petrol tank but convert efi engine.......

 

[rollakid]

i like the way u explained it. exactly true. hehehe

thats why i change the whole fuel tank instead of adding an external pump + fuel surge tank. somewhat cheaper.. lol..

 

[khoyos]

yup, whole injection tank is cheaper, but for my car model, i have never seen any on sale in chop shops. no choice but to install surge tank...

 

[rollakid]

go for racing fuel cell muahahahahaha
