New fuel tank

[Hoofa]

Well finally ditched the bosch 044 pump, had a new tank made using a intank pump, and internal collector which negates the need for a swirl pot. Also has the jic -6 fitting for flow and return.

So now I should have no fueling problems , a pic of old and new

Looks like more quality work again there Nigel

[MPoxon]

That looks fantastic.

[gacksen]

what sort of fueling problems did you have ?

Looks like the business Nigel.

I feel that's what I need, less then 80 miles on track and then it cuts out in L/H corners!

Dare I ask how much, I'm guessing £700+.

I have the same problems on track days. Long hard left handlers with 1/3 of a tank of fuel and the engine coughs. When you fill up you realise that the tank is 1/3 full when the gauge says 1/2. I assume the fuel is all pushed by turning force to the right hand side of the tank and the fuel exits on the left?

Did they give you a free tank of petrol

[phazed]

Correct but as said before, my 4.6 never suffered and would track till empty!

Can't imagine why?

Time to swirl pot up guys

[Hoofa]

Well I wanted to make sure the fuel was supplied even under cornering, didnt want to clutter the boot with a swirl pot, I needed a pump the can supply more flow. What we saw on the dyno was the fuel supply tailing off, it was still safe.

So gone for a walbro pump 450 gts, and a new fuel guage sensor that is a tube type rather than a float arm. Internal collector box has the fuel supply returning into its internal pot. Finally fuel tank filled with safety foam

So the above is fix as I don't want to be starving the engine, price for the tank was approx 700

That's an excellent solution to the problem Nigel. Food for thought.
