New surge tank mocked up. Hopefully fit it at the weekend and run new fuel lines through the car.
So on to mocking up where the pumps and filters can live.
For the test run, they were all just on where ever they'd fit, which isn't ideal for flow, seeing leaks or servicing.
So I'm looking at moving them all to be in one place, underslung off the diff mount.
I did a quick mock up with some ali hole board, hose in place of AN fittings and lots of cable ties.
Its hard to photo, but they look a lot lower than they are, in reality they are higher than both the sump and the gearbox bell housing. They are around 20cm from the ground.
I think though, I'll get them mounted to some ali plate then build in a stand off with a skid plate below them.
The other option is to go up into the boot with them, but then you are asking the pump to draw upwards all the time and I think I'd see starvation issues.
I could run a 1.5l swirl in the right hand side of the boot. Run the 044 straight off it. Use my weakened Gates pump as a lift pump under no pressure. The return line already goes near that side of the boot.
Hmmmmmm
MaxpeedingRods surge tank is here. How they make them for £25 is beyond me. Its REALLY good quality.
Fuel system re done and I have 3 leaks.
Two of the outlets on the top of the tank.
The underside of the fuel filter.
Been at it 7 hours today. Trying to be tidy. So those leaks can wait till tomorrow.
Finished.
Used copper hardline where I could up to the boot.
Took the leaking joints apart.
On the fuel filter the copper ring had a nick in it. The ones on the tank that leaked just needed the mating faces cleaning up.
On the lift pump the electric fittings were push on, not really liking those I tapped them to M5 thread and put a lock nut on.
Tidied all that up and sorted the wiring and it fired first time.
Also junked the stupid
oil breather lines and fitting some Moroso
oil recirc caps.
Happy days. Just need some sun now.
