I made some surge tanks for racers last year. They are about 1 litre. And I swear, we were able to run on an almost dry fuel tank. As long as there's fuel remaining in the surge tank, the car can go and go and go... The first pump fills up the surge tank, and the excess returns to the main tank. The second pump is fed from the surge tank. 1 litre of fuel is burnt every minute at full throttle. Meaning that the first pump can run dry for a full minute until the surge tank is empty...Leave a comment:

"E30's have fuel starvation problems when driven hard. Some cars begin to exibit this problem just below 1/2 tank. This can ruin your day and damage your engine. There are a number of complicated and/or expensive solutions. However, we have discovered a cheap and easy solution. By using a small (about a pint) accumulator which receives fuel from the return line and directs it to the fuel pump the starvation problem is eliminated. This system requires the car have 2 pump system with the in tank supply pump.

Isn't the early model fuel tank more resistant to stuff like this? Try switching to a dual pump setup?Leave a comment:

Fuel cut out on long corners
Alright after a track day this weekend I'm sick of this, one longish highspeed corner (60-70) and a gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 a tank causes my engine to cut out from all the gas going to one side, not being picked up by the pump, does anybody have a remedy for this problem on the track?
