Interesting reading...

I am still "baffled" by having a reserve amount in a racing tank.
Was the amount of reserve designed to last one lap? For which track?

42 gal last for (I am guessing) 2 hours of racing? I can understand that calculating the amount of laps from that differ quite a lot. That answers above question.

Are there now two SW pumps for the reserve? Why not only one, if it had to last one lap only? I suppose one or two pumps don't add much to the weight of a 42 gal tank full of fuel...

Which reminds me, I have two of those unused since years (from new?) somewhere in my garage!
