ill stick with my powell surge tank

 

This was actually the wife's idea haha. This came out my 55 Chevy and was gonna sell it but she wanted to use it. How was I gonna argue lol.

A surge tank set-up is definitely nice but this was cheaper solution to many problems I wanted to address, range and starvation the main two. Since I already possessed the cell and 20ft of braided -6 an line and some fittings it worked out for us.

Plus I wanted a simple system and didn't want to over complicate thing and have to wire up several pumps.

 

yeah i know what you mean. if you got it, put it to good use

 

Jap, you ever get numbers with your n2o? Havent been on here is diligently. Didnt know if I missed it.

 

**** yea you should make a thread when you go to put this all together, I'd be interested to see it in detail. I've tossed the idea of putting a cell in my car before but everything I read said, if it's not a track only car it's not a great idea

 

Motor is currently out of the car. Spun rod bearing on #3 at the track

 

sorry to hear Making any changes?

 

Lots of changes... Sorting out some details and then going to make a thread. For sure the block is going to Belvedere, for sure new crank from Mongo, and for sure new cams are in the works... Everything else you guys can guess on until i drop another build thread

 

I plan on a similar route.


I am considering turning stock into sump and running a fuelab prodigy pump and fuelab electronic fuel pressure regulator to control it. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from these pumps. Quiet, reliable, and powerful!

 

This^

 

Sure I could make a quick build thread for it. I normally take lots of pics anyways LOL!!

I honestly don't see to much bad putting one in. Yes we will loose some trunk space, but not as much as it seems. The cell barley sits higher then the floor when it sits in the well. This set-up will cure all our issues and get us some great fuel range too!!


I had thought about going that route for quite a while. A local car buddy has it done to his skittle. Its been done on lots of other platforms. My only gripe was how low it hangs. Seeing as how we have our car pretty low already and barley get up and out the driveway I opted not to.

 

Ok... Don't want to sound like a noob but what exactly is a fuel cell and can someone point me to some good info on them? Google didn't help much...

 

Honestly Google should give plenty good info on fuel cells. Its just a purpose built gas tank. This mod is not for everyone nor should it be recommended for anyone here. I'm just going to the extreme because like stated it was laying around and we wanted a bigger tank to hold more fuel.

 

Yea I get that I just was curious about it lol, I doubt I'll be pushing my car that hard just aiming for 370ish with my build

 

you do not need to sump the tank there is a better way and if you do not sump it the correct spot or the sump is not deep enough then your back to square one

 

If you're going to say someone is wrong, or something won't work, at least explain why lol

 

I will later but you will need a return system for it work and I never said someone was wrong dick head

for those wanting to know what the fuel sending unit reads

full



empty



my meter was messed up and that is what the new meter had to say right inline with what tjolley read on his meter

 

dat griffin doh

 

Where where?!

 

i got one of those CED meet flyers from Tom too lmao .... Tom spamming the world one package at a time.

 

look for the receipt in the picture

 

ah, my phones being pissy. Didn't see that.

 

here

 

I'm so glad I never ended up buying one. Because it would have been a total waste of money for me. Since it would have gotten smashed up and then trashed.

 

damn i want one
