Has anyone tried or looked into this fuel pump set-up? Supposedly it eliminates the need for baffles.

I'm thinking I like it, but I am not sure why? What does it eliminate? Surge tank needed? Are the high and low pressure pumps still needed?
That's an interesting setup. I like it. I don't think I would skip a good swirl pot though. It has benefits beyond what any in tank pump/baffle setup could offer.
I didn't see a price for the unit on the manuf. website??. -
Mike, in the video, they quote a retail price of $525.00. I'm not sure how that compares with other systems?

Hi guys,
In an effort to find an alternative to a large, expensive, space consuming conventional fuel surge tank system; I'm looking at yet another possibility. Because the FP34 044 Motor Sport Fuel Surge Tank is fully enclosed and self contained with a one (1) liter fuel reservoir, it can be virtually mounted anywhere and can be installed either vertically or horizontally. The compact size of this unit allows for additional flexibility in locating the system. Unlike some other alternative systems I was considering, this unit is externally mounted; therefore future serviceability and accessibility would not present a problem.
Those are my thoughts on the FP34 044, I'm interested in hearing what you SLC builders think of this system. Although I intend to occasionally track my car, tracking is not my main focus.

I'm using this setup. My reasons were:
1) It's big enough for my engine and application. I'll be putting out 400ish HP and should I ever take it to a track, I am unlikely to be on tracks with huge, giant long sweepers where I could theoretically run the risk of drying the system out. Local tracks to me are the pretty twisty Laguna Seca and Sonoma.
2) Street application. Occasional track days. Don't need a huge system.
3) Submerge fuel pump -> quieter.
4) Clever design. I like how you can mount it vertical, horizontal or any other angle. In my case it's mounted behind the driver at a 45 degree angle to the frame rail.
Hope this helps... my car doesn't run yet, so I can't say more than the above...Tim
