Need help with fuel starvation problem

[Artful Dodger]

my tarck car has a problem with fuel starvation on right hand turns. all of the fuel gets slung into the left side of the gas tank and is unable to be picked up by the in tank pump. so when exiting the corner the car has no power. I need to find a good solution to this problem. I am considering a way to do dual pickup pumps. but, is there anyway to fix this problem?

Put in a baffle.

Where does the baffle go?

Fill it with fuel cell foam. You should be able to buy cubes of it.

[Artful Dodger]

Foam eh?

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeh, it's the stuff used in every race car fuel cell to prevent fuel starvation.

This closed cell foam material, when inserted inside your fuel cell, will prevent fuel from sloshing around during hard cornering, hard acceleration, or the rough and tumble conditions of off-road racing. This aids in fuel pick-up, prevents aeration, and helps reduce fire danger.

yeah I am familiar with the fuel cell stuff. will it work in a oe tank? it has the hump in the middle with the silly cross tube. I will fill the tank with foam if it will work. has anyone done this on their car?

Fill it as best as possible, It's as close as you'll get without a full fledged cell. And it's easier than draining, dropping, purging, welding, re-installing, the whole fuel tank to install a baffle.

I assume you've changed the pumps? At Buttonwillow last weekend my car started falling on her face coming out of right-handers. I had to keep the tank completely full to avoid it. It just started happening, so I think the in-tank pump is bad - I don't attribute the starvation to sloshing.

yeah, i should start with the pumps. I think the one in the tank is getting bad. the one under the car is making noise.

Where can I get replacement pumps or performance pumps?

Mine starts to bog when i get to a third of a tank. At first i thought it was power loss to heat soak or something. My easy solution is to put in more gas LOL.

Subscribed... I'm planning to replace my 18 year old tank et al and I do not want to have to run full just to get out of righthanders.
