Coyote Fuel System

I believe the fuel system set up from Active Power would be for a street car. Given that I’m never going to drive this on the street, I think my best course of action is your design Ian. I may substitute a Pollak valve for selonoids but everything else will pretty much be the same.

Thanks for all of the opinions.
 
Hi Steve, I realise you probably have things sorted now but just wanted to let you know how I worked my fuel system in case you are still working it, so here goes.

I have the normal two tanks in the side joined by a -10 pipe at the rear, in my case both tanks have a -10 outlet at the lowest point at the rear. I run a -10 pipe from the right tank to a -10 tee at the back of the left tank. From the -10 tee at the back of the left tank I run a short -8 hose to a Facet Red Top which lifts fuel to a 1.5 litre swirl pot which is housed on the bulkhead on the left side through a -6 pipe. Fuel then gravity feeds to a Bosch 044 via a 55 micron hi flow filter, fuel is pumped from the Bosch 044, through a 10 micron filter canister and on to the fuel rail, through the fuel rail to the regulator which dumps excess fuel back into the swirl pot.

I did have some issues with cavitation into the Bosch 044 but solved that by increasing the size of the filter before the pump.

If I were ever to re work the system, I would build new tanks with trap doors that hold fuel in the rear portion of the tanks, approximately the last 150mm in each tank which I calculated to be about 6 litres each side. I would still run a -10 line from right to left. I would use a Walbro type pump in the trap portion of the left tank to feed a swirl pot, from there I would use another in tank pump, Bosch or Walbro. This would alleviate some pipe work and pretty much guarantee no cavitation.
 
One other thing I will do is fit access panels in the front wheel arch panels to allow access to the tank filler connections without having to struggle around the dash and close out panels.
