Out with the old (almost a year ago actually, 11mths or so since my friend made this guy)
In with the superiority tank (nb: patent pending on name
)
12-14gal (will fill up when it's finished to figure out for certain)
-8 vent
-12 pickup
-10 return
1.5'' fill neck
1/2gal sump(!)
4'' diameter round tube through for the cables (what can I say, I figured bigger there made me feel happier )
Still need to add 2 more baffles to the inside, as well as a protective 'fat' tube around the pickup to minimize any chance of him cracking
The pickup is pretty trick - we basically converted a -12o-ring to -10an fitting into the pickup, so it pick ups with -12 and then necks down to -10.
I was initially going to run -10 feed -10 return, but now I'm only -10 to the pump, then from the pump to the carb -8, and a -8 return. (I had a very interesting discussion about fuel line sizing with Jim@Weldon ... learned a lot I didn't know before)
And then flowing through some aeromotive filter and a Weldon a1100 and Weldon regulator
(I realize mounting vertically, above fuel cell, is not usually ideal for pumps, but this one pulls > 26'' of mercury so can handle it like a champ....with that orientation it may not be able to handle its rated 1400hp, but I should be safe a few hundred hp below that, ehehehe)
