I have a pretty typical setup planned. Front Mounted fuel cell with Rollover/vent feeding the surge tank in rear with a low pressure pump. My question is has anyone seen issues by not venting the high pressure surge tank loop (venting the surge tank). I assume pressure will be relieved by fuel entering the surge by low pressure loop and returning to the fuel cell which is vented.
I'm using the Aeromotive phantom (in tank) for my High pressure pump in my surge tank which has three openings in/out/vent (see pic) - all three AN06 ORB I believe. Obviously in/out feed rails. I planned to use the third, which labeled vent, to supply the surge from the lift pump. Then I added a top mounted fitting to surge tank to return fuel to LP. I assume this is fine but wondering if anyone has encountered pressure relieving issues?
I did buy a check valve also....I don't recall where I intended to put it inline (I assume prior to the surge to prevent draining - but all fittings are on top). Suggestions there also please.
The last thing I didn't consider when I bought this was whether the phantom might leak. I've seen other's use it and figured it would be a clean install and save space. But I didn't consider whether an in-tank pump (with a gasket seal to the tank) was meant to have fuel under pressure to it. It's only as much pressure as being generated by the Lift pump. Thoughts? I think I saw a GT40 build that had a phantom. I think the second tank fed the first by LP, so it should be the same. Thoughts??
Here's what the surge tank I made and example of the phantom.
