Re: Fuel Tank - Best Option?
Ben,
after building, plumbing and racing many combinations of fuel systems this has become my favorite and most stable and most reliable.
Plumb in an adjustable, return style regulator at the carb and adjust it for about 3 pounds pressure at idle. Experiment with wide open pressure but most any gas carb will like 6.5 - 7 pounds
Run a #6 return line back to the cell. Install any fuel cell of your preference and remove the foam.
Install a pump of your choice near the cell. Doing this will give stable and reliable service.
And one note of convenience, Jaz will sell a fuel cell without the fitting holes drilled. I like that option so I can put the fittings were I want for a custom install.
And one last comment, I have tried but did not like the style fuel pumps that incorporate a return fitting at the pump. My experience was unstable pressure that would at times surge too high.
