Sumped tank? Fuel cell? What do you guys run?
The original tank in my LeMans is leaking, so it's time to replace it. This is mainly a street car, but I hope to do some recreational road racing and drag racing, too, so I'm wondering what I should do. Sumped tank? Fuel cell? :hmm:
In case it matters, I'm running a Mallory 140 pump. Thanks for the help.
Go with what works now, change later.
You probably should do the sumped tank for now and then think about dropping an ATL or Fuel Safe cell into the trunk if you plan on increasing your track time. I built a metal box that is welded to the trunk floor and allows my aluminum cell to hang about 8"+ below the trunk bottom, only sticking up 3" into the trunk. I lost some space in the trunk but have a 20-gallon baffled and foam-filled cell enclosed in a metal box for a bit more safety. If the car was more of a race car and less street I would go with ATL, Fuel Safe, or someone like that for safety reasons (I like the idea of a rubber bladder in a steel container).
