Anyone know what length, thread type and size for bolts for fitting PW surge tank on FG?

I believe they need to be longer then BA/BF.

What does the surge tank do? And when is it needed? I can't seem to find much info on that one from processwest.com on that particular model I see. There is 2 of them on Gumtree now for $600. My car is in for a tune next week getting a Walbro 255lph in tank pump fitted, is this better than a having a surge tank or is good to have both? I've told the tuna I'm after about 300rwkw so is this unnecessary?

This style of surge is the old style, new one is on the web site for $1000 or there abouts.

I picked up mine for $300 if it was $600 I would have just gone a new one for its advantages.

In regards to your question is it needed, everyone has a different opinion on that, or at what stage you need it.

It basically to keep constant fuel supply as low tank volume and gravity = no fuel

No fuel supply = damage

Damage = $$$$.

A walbro intank is ok as long as you have at least half a tank of fuel on board , any less and it pays to avoid boosting too hard as lean out can occur.

A surge tank is insurance, a KPM intank hi flow unit is the other option if you havnt already purchased your walbro. With the KPM you dont need a surge , this would be my choice if I did the whole mod thing again as it is super quiet and supplys plenty of cold fuel. Surge with 044's can get noisy, especially when hot.
