That .70 housing didn't give you anything over my .50 and I was

running a cheaper HDI cooler than your Huge cooler and I also suffered

Fuel in the Top end as well and still I was quicker (Need Surge tank or lend of Tig Welder).

Just a bit of rubbing in there LOL.

typhoon Freak, yes tank needs to be verticle or top facing towards the front at a mild angle.

Just think where the fuel will travell when under hard accelleration.

Some Curcuit cars run scavanger pumps set up in 3 places, catchment at rear for accelleration

catchment to left for hard right handers and last catchment right hand side for hard left turns.

that's why you usually hear of multiply pumps instead of just one big one.

Some cars that just use 1 pump usually have a swinging pickup setup, so it goes where the fuel

travels to, disadvantage is not being able to run full baffles or foam allowing weight shift.

Unless you are going to go serious and race circuit the standard tank setup will be fine

with surge tank at front.

the taller the fuel reserviour the less chance of surge as well.

Always try to have your fuel outlet from the surge tank at the rear because if your fuel does

deplenish to much from the surge you may still lean out.

this also goes for if you have the top angled back the fuel will try to go to the most rear point

under accelleration and as in your picture the top rear would be the place the fuel would be best to

collect from under hard accelleration. Problem being once you stop accellerating it would become the

worst place and only drawing fumes.

that's why it is important on being verticle or at worst the top slightly angled towards the front of vehicle.

well iv made it and fitted it, I took the pics when the car was on the ramps so when its on the flat she aint that bad of an angle.. check em out n see what u think.. im no circut racer, I go to the drags occasonally so when I have a long weekend I shall attempt a better one and see what different ideas I can come up with. this was my first attempt.

I think I did a pretty good job
