fuel surge/half tank of fuel...

[karl_tate]

did a little search but not much info.
 
anyway im sick of getting to half a tank of fuel and having to fill up again plus this means that when i fill up again, that half a tank of fuel will of been in there for a while??
 
i also dont really want to have 50+ litres of fuel when going down the strip etc etc
 
so boys and girls give me some ideas. is there any other way apart for getting a swirl pot??

You can buy tank baffles but not having one im unsure how good they are, have a search on rx7club.com.

What fuel pump have you got?

[karl_tate]

forgot to mention, single turbo using a GTR pump.

change the pump - i used to get the same and Re:Worx put a pump in that was about twice the size of what i had (which was already aftermarket) and it cured it completely. I almost ran out of fuel at my last trackday as it never happened!

The stock tank has baffles installed, but they aren\'t the best. You could try a different pump or installed a swirl pot.

i have been thinking about a swirl pot for a while but i dont really want to go down that route if i can help it.
 
andy do you know what pump Re:Worx put in there and at what cost??

I think you\'ll find that the gtr pump is fine even with very little fuel in the tank. You may want to check how it\'s been installed.

Have a look at this.

It seems a very good idea and with the price of the dollar now, a bargain as well.

I\'ve got one of those covers being fitted at the mo - shoud be able to report back in a few weeks what difference it has made. Like you say - with the value of the dollar it seemed worth a gamble!

Si.

That\'s odd Karl - I\'m running the BNR33 pump (which I guess is the same one?) and have no issues even down to fumes.  Could be the positioning of the pickup in the tank not being quite right?  Maybe the hose is bent uo and not sucking from the bottom corner of the tank.

Edit: just seen Brian\'s response, great minds and all that!

that looks interesting on rx7club cheers.
 
i will take the pump out and report back. i did have it out before just to check weather it had been uprated and all looked ok but it didnt have a filter/sock.

You can get an intank swirl pot from Fujita Engineering.. Think i seen it on RHDJapan... Cheap enough too...
