i have been making 1 of the 2 fuel tanks i want for the rs200.
i have room either side of the prop,just in front of the rear beam. (i will post pic`s if anyone needs to see them)

i am hoping for about 20-30 litres each.

how would i be best connecting the tanks together (aeroquip hose,etc),where would it be best to connect this (near the bottom,or from underneath?)

do i need to run twin sender units,or just 1?

i will be running a swirl pot,but do i feed from both tanks or just 1.

sorry for so many question,it`s all got on top of me at the mo

i will be having both tanks made from alloy when i am happy they will fit in

thanks
dave

Run an aeroquip link pipe between the two tanks. Fit a T-piece in the middle of the link and run a lift pump to an external swirl pot. Then run your high pressure pump from the swirl pot.

Edit to say you'll want a filter in there somewhere as well.

so it`s best to connect both together into 1 hose and then connect to 1 of these?

where would be the best place to connect,upper with a stack pipe inside,middle with a stack pipe,or near the bottom?

will i need them baffled or foam filled?

cheers

1) Choose if your going internal pump or external.

2) Dont make each tank flat bottomed but make it with a sump area at the lowest possible point.

3) Pick up from this sump area if internal or take feeds from it if external.

4) No need for baffles with the above, and foam if fitted, just stops it sloshing about.

5) Ebay items are overpriced - seen those for less than Ł75 elsewhere.

i like the idea of running exposed pump etc,an added bling factor.after all it is a kit car.

although a hidden pump/sender unit would make it easier (the tanks will be under alloy panels)


concerning the sump area,what size would be best?
the tanks are only about 300mm x 220mm each.i don`t have a great deal of room to hide them.
i was toying with the idea of fitting a bigger 1 above the rear axle,but i didn`t want all that weight right above the axle,with running 2 smaller 1`s in front of the axle i will have better weight distrubition.
