Re: surge tanks: a few questions. Mon, 07 March 2005 08:40 Go to previous messageGo to previous message
I DID use the search and have read all of those + more already. I understand the principles of how surge tanks work and how to go about installing them but was more concerned about the capacity of the surge tanks.

I had only read 1 thread where someone had specified their tank capacity... it was 800ml but made to be very tall and narrow. My concern is that hot fuel can cause the engine to be more prone to detonation.

My questions were aimed at people that ALREADY have surge tanks installed... I thought the questions were quite specific and would allow me to chose an appropriate setup,

ie. either having the return fuel going to tank and having a higher flow from the low pressure pump, OR having an appropriately large sized surge and have the return going to surge, allowing me to keep my current intank pump.

These question about sizing wasn't answered in the previous threads... they stated "as large as physically possible" which doesn't really tell me much in terms of ml.

Anyway... I'm still new to these forums but spend enough time here to realise you guys get REALLY pissed if asked the same question 10 billion times. I ALWAYS search before posting a tech question. I thought my questions were worth another thread. Sorry if they weren't.

Eddie.
