Which type of fuel surge tank/pump are used on the WRC cars, and would it work ok on a road car. The reason I am asking is that on track I have had starvation a couple of times. This is the correct way to resolve this, but I was just wondering which pump would be the better one to use, and what size tank to use?

Many Thanks

Dan

 

The fuel pumps (there are 2 lift pumps and 2 pressure pumps) filter and collector assembly is well over £2K. That's without the tank and carbon cover on the pre00MY cars as well as the bodyshell mods.

I hope this helps make your decision a bit easier to run more fuel in the tank!!!

I find if you don't let it drop below 1/3 full it shouldn't happen.

Mike, I had this happening with 3/4 of a tank of petrol.

Oh well, I will have to get a 1.5/2 litre tank and a pump and make it myself.

Thanks Dan

P.S. Got any cheap second hand units for sale......

 

Danny.
Mark Aigin and Firefox run with a kind of surge tank in the engine bay and they never get surge. Perhaps they could help?
I believe you can also put that spongey stuff in the tank too if you want.

Stef, this spongey stuff takes up the much needed space for fuel.....

I have been speaking to Mark about this, and I just wanted to know which pumps Prodrive use.

Thanks Dan
