Where can I get surge tanks from?
What size is reccomended and what fuel pump? (Walbro 550hp? external?)
For NA 13B

So really he wants four connections. Two in the top, one for return line, one for feed pump. One in the side at the top as the overflow back to fuel tank, and one at the bottom as the delivery pump outlet. Also, if you can get a conical bottom that'd be better too.Jebus wrote:Mines 2L, got it made by Michael Sinclair, its a really really nice tank, awesome build quality. Cost $120 + fittings. I use an Airtex fuel pump, its a bolt in upgrade for a VL turbo, so can support alot of power, but is fine on my N/A 4AGE as well, been a real good pump so far, nice and quiet too.
When you plumb it up, get 3 inlets/outlets. One on top being an overflow back to the fuel tank, the one at the top on the side being the feed from your low pressure lifter pump, and your EFI Return line. and the bottom one is the outlet to your engine via the high pressure pump.
Be sure your fuel return line goes back into your surge tank, otherwise you can run your high pressure pump dry.

I have a low fuel warning similarly constructed. My facet draw pump is mounted close to the external ali panels. When it runs dry it vibrates so badly it drums on the panel. Instant and bloody loud warning! Last 2l or 6km to go.

Hehe yeh I have mine doing the same, around hard corners, you can hear the low pressure pump running dry for a couple of seconds as it vibrates away on thin support panel, then chugs away like normal when it sucks some more up. Yay for main tank with no baffles, makes me really appreciate how much difference the surge tank makes.
