Evening Guys,
My very first post so please be gentle!!
I've just taken delivery of a Tornado GT40 kit so I have lots of shiny bits in the garage. But...
The dual tanks are set up for carbs and I want to go for EFI on this build (351W producing 500BHP at the wheels). I was talking to my engine builder and we got chatting about the fuel system and the tanks which as all of you will know is one of the very first things to instal so if there are additional fittings to have welded in then I need to do it now.
I've spent a lot of time on the forums and intend to do a build log, but as a starter I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way of plumbing the system to avoid a switching valve (like a Polack). I'd like to avoid that to firstly avoid the inevitable disaster when I don't notice the guage and secondly I assume it causes something of an imbalance in the car if you empty one tank at a time. Would a simple balancing pipe between the bottom of each tank work or does it need to be more complicated?
Many thanks,
Jon
