I am looking at sorting out a fuel cell and was woundering what fuel pumps and other bits people are using?

Any Pictures of your set up?


Brian

 

Not the greatest detail pics





Pro alloy tank and swirl pot with Aeromotive pump

 

Thats excellent mate thanks

Anyone got any more pictures


Brian

 

tank has the swirl pot built into the bottom (in the wheel well)

 

no more fuel surge

 

I love looking at fuel set ups. Sooo Cool

 

Fusion Fabrications fuel cell & Swirl pot, Facet red-top lift pump, mocal in-line filter to swirl pot, Bosch 044 fuel pump to filter.

 

Thanks for the pic's

What sort of power is yours good for mate as thats how i wont to do my set up? How come you need the Facet red top lift pump?

Brian

 

gus, who's is that???

 

mine

 

have you thought about putting some straps on the fuel tank?? seen them rip right off the mounting brackets on set up's like yours.

 

always thought yours was moonstone inside too, only asking as the cage looks very tidy, whos is it again?

 

i did ask about this but was told would be fine

if needs be i could bolt it to rear strut brace

mine is moonstone on the outside at bt grey on the in

again its mine!

 

just thought i would mention it thats all, but looking at it again looks like its sort of jam-ed upto the read of the cage so could well be ok

 

i wouldnt use the facet red top in the car in my own experiance, 044 pumps are noisey enough but facet pumps take the piss lol, and as for aeromotive you need ear defenders i think after hearing porkie's on the 3 door lol

 

mine was more basic...

custom fuel tank, low pressure pump feeding the swirl then a high pressure under the floor feeding the engine.

 

thats why i put mine in the wheel well so it can really resonate

 

also advice i was givin was to not bolt the pumps or tank directly to the floor etc if they are not in some kind of tray or box as in a hard shunt if the floor was to crease or bend up badly it could rupture the fuel tank/lines leaving petrol pissing over the occupants, least mounted in a tray if the car bends up mounts of that will take the bending force and hopefully not the tank itself

 

yep, mine was bolted to a floating floor panel within the spare wheel well. i also had a plumbed in fire sytem that sprayed foam on the tank area and engine area in case of this happening. it did work as it should when i had a heavy front and rear impact.

 

not the car you plank, the cage!!!!

 

the cage is mine aswell


its sort of IN THE CAR

 

well you could sell the cage to him gus as your gonna be cutting it back out anyway soon

 

 

I know it is but whos is it in terms of who made it???

 

ooooooooo


i see


it was made by xworkss but it will be coming out again

due to change of plan

 

mine.







pro alloy tank with inbuild fuel collector, 044 pump and teflon braded lines throughout. still smells of petrol in the car tho

 

your fuel tank is the wrong way round mate as the pump outlet should be at the back really as when it gets low and under forward motion this is where the fuel will be heading

 

i turned it round as i wanted the outlet at the front

it can stay like it, if its nigh on empty then i wont ragging the shit out of it, i aim to try and keep quarter of atank at any one time.

plus it made more sense having less fuel line than going round the back of the tank

also the tank has an inbuilt fuel collector that may help a bit.

either way, its done now and i aint changing it

 

that design will surge like hell, no way it will work properly.

 

well the chaps at proalloy didnt tell me it had to stay the other way round :s

 

did you ask ?!

 

no

 

bingo you cant expect them to tell you what way round and which way up it goes aswell surely ? theyre fabricators at the end of the day theyre not fitting it in your car

 

actually they DID fit it in the car. i left the car with them and colected it a week later!

not once did wayne or alex asy that the fuel cell HAD to stay how it was, nor explain why!

thats not a dig at all btw, i just didnt know it was supposed to stay how they fitted it.

it has an internal collector, so wont that help avois surge? thinking about it i guess probably not...

that means more expense.... anyone want to buy a 3dr?

 

its not too much work to spin it around is it ?

also, i think it was dave (yum) had a problem with a pro tank, so if you still get problems with surge with it turned round put a swirl pot in there, this is what we did with the bastos escos track car and now its mint

 

i guess it will just require some longer 19mm id hose to run around the tank. i didnt want to do that originally as it looks a bit ghay...

but i guess at some pint it will be spending another Ł30 on fooking hose

 

Mine is simply a home made alloy tank



With an internal swirl pot (from a Vauxhall Zaphira lol) and submersed pump fitted inside



Sunk low down for centre of gravity reasons and mounted central in a steel box built within the safety cell of the cage.





One fill tube, one take off pipe, one return pipe (into swirl pot), and the breather pipe with the essential roll over valve fitted. Works well, quiet as a mouse, easy to fill and no messy pumps / filters or oversize swirl tanks on show

 

tony, is the roll over valve actually inside the goodridge fitting? i assume the red one?

as i think i have one of thos on my pro tank, but just checking lol.

ill find out when i get round to putting it back how it was

 

Yes Dan

Knowing your luck you had better check you have put that on the correct way round too

 

they all look awesome
