I would like to poll the forum on the subject of reserve fuel tanks. I have a track-only SLC and I am thinking of adding a 1-gallon reserve tank to the car in the spot next to the installed fuel tank. I am currently thinking of a separate fuel pump and tank. I should add that I am running a Hollet type 4 barrel carb so my pressure requirement is 5-10 PSI and I would use the reserve to slowly return to the paddock so a rather low GPH flow level is needed.
My main question is in reference to the plumbing as in how to fill the reserve tank at the same time as the main tank, hold fuel in it until requested, and not create a reverse flow problem of some sort. I can make everything such as tanks, hoses, mounting brackets etc. so I don't need sources really just a concept to work from.
Any Ideas folks ?
