Lets talk fuel cells

[The Real Roadrunner]

Those cells have two fittings on the sumped area and two on top...im assuming this is provision for dual pumps and surges?

so id block one of each off?

top right is vent, top left is return and you can just cap off the feed that you dont need
easy as that

[The Real Roadrunner]

-6 is well big enough for a return.

Make 1000% sure you have an external visual fuel gauge (i.e. piece of clear fuel proof hose up the side of the cell), because standard fuel gauges on a foam filled cell tend to have strange inaccuracies.

he speaketh teh truth

[MR 1JZ]

ok good good

thanks for all the info...I cant rep you again as I did it too soon..but when I can...I will...

now I just got to find something that will fit in my boot and suit my needs

[MR 1JZ]

how could I fit a guage to the tank?

two 90 degree fittings welded onto the side of the tank?

foam inside will melt though wont it?

[takai]

Nah, you have petrol resistant foam inside the tank. But youll still need a surge, in everything apart from drag racing or circle racing (i.e. left/right turns only).

I would go twin pumps, if only for the redundancy, because losing your only pump through the Esses means you get very shitty... ask me how i know

Gauge is exactly as described, think an external gauge on an oil catch can.

Use hard lines for the under body stuff, its harder to inspect, and the vibrations through the car can crack the inner rubber lining, and harmonic resonance properties will tell us that its more likely to happen over longer distances of pipe, especially secured pipes. Thats why its good to have hard lines for as much of the distance as possible.

[The Real Roadrunner]

make sure if it has foam that its removed b4 welding (most RCI tanks wont have it though)

[takai]

Oh yeah, foam will melt on welding. I was thinking foam melting with petrol :?

[MR 1JZ]

ok so stock metal lines stay under the car then...spoil sports

you would think that foam put inside a fuel cell would be safe for use with petrol

styrofoam plus PULP makes some fun napalm though hahaha

Yeah, this is what my poor addled matlab filled brain was thinking you were talking about.

no jackass, use some nice sexy alloy hardline.

available in different sizes and sexy anodised colours (just dont use red as it will add to your extreme gheyness)

call me if you need me to order it in for your slack ass

cheers

^ gotcha

whats it worth per metre?

im assuming you need a pipe bender to get it all right?

[The Real Roadrunner]

big fingers FTW

price to you =2xRRP

[takai]

Given that its from scratch you probably wont need to bend it very much. Dont bother following the existing line, just put it somewhere where it wont get hit by anything. Along the seams of chassis rails works pretty well.

[MR 1JZ]

so I dont have to bend it up into the boot? I can run flexible line down to the rail?
