Default Fuel system mods

Fasterpatrick - I have a Unique 289FIA with a 351W and Accel EFI to a stack injection system, ~350 HP, 24 lb. injectors, and 45 lbs. fuel pressure. I ran 3/8" hard line to and returning from the engine. The only problem I have and will be correcting this weekend is when the tank gets below half full. The fuel tank has the pick up on the lower left front corner, so when a left turn is made and the fuel sloshes (?) away from the pick up, the engine quits momentarily. This happens at higher fuel loads when tracking the car as higher speeds in the turns occurs. Remember, once the fuel uncovers the pick up tube, you lose fuel pressure instantly even though the lines ahead are full. I even had one instance when it restarted after the turn with a big backfire that blew off 3 of the 8 stack filters. I will be installing an accumulator tank in the rear center of the fuel tank. It has the baffles on 3 sides to allow fuel in from 3 directions. The pick up tube goes directly to the accumulator tank. I would check into this issue and how your tank is baffeled inside and how it will help prevent you from having a repeat of my problems. Other than this small problem, I love the EFI system and the reliabilty it gives.
