Modifying ERA fuel tank
Not like I've got enough projects on my hands, but am now looking at a improved fuel system. With 566 HP it occurs to me that the FE is going to need better fuel flow.
So, my design is as follows:
1. Install Clay Smith high volume (140gpm) mechanical fuel pump
2. -8 braided lines to fuel filter - Fram HPG1
3. Holley 2 port fuel pressure regulator
4. -8 line to Barry Grant Mighty Demon 750
That I think addresses the fuel pump to carb set up. Now the challenge - fuel tank to fuel pump.
Apparently the ERA aluminum tank has a top mounted pickup that is a 3/8" hose barb threaded into a 1/4" npt boss. This becomes the restriction in the system as I'd like at least a -8 AN line to the fuel pump with a similar sized pickup outlet on the tank.
Has anyone modified an ERA tank to change the pick-up to a larger, higher flowing size? What was invovled?
Who are the sources for fuel cells that would bolt in place of the ERA tank and round numbers on price?
Other ideas?
Thanks!
