Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 13y 6m 25d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 27/07/14 10:35 PM Posted 27/07/14 10:35 PM Reason I'm asking is basically being told will need Process West surge, twin 460's, regulator and single rail or twin.Why does everybody on here run surge tanks? Other people I know only run em if they are doing hard track work and when cornering their car starts to run lean Something different about fords?

If they had designed the tank to take fuel away from the pump under acceleration they couldnt have done a better job than what they did. Probably OK for taxi drivers though. 1

Other people I know only run em if they are doing hard track work and when cornering their car starts to run leanSomething different about fords?Correct.It has become standard thinking. No other manfacturer world wide has surge tank set ups.The shape of the fuel tank has no effect on a correctly set up intank system. Even for tight track work on minimal fuel. 1
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 23y 5m 21d Gender: Male Posted 28/07/14 01:16 AM Posted 28/07/14 01:16 AM I thought the tank design was not too bad. That bit under the seat is a bit of a surge tank itself provided you are more than 1/4 full. Nevertheless external surge tanks are not the best way, especially cause they just heat and recirculate the same fuel.
