Truggy fuel tank location question...

[uglychevyZZ4]

The truggy is coming along /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif/forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif/forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif/forums/images/graemlins/weld.gifand the tank location is next, Im set up alot like kidjethro and I located my tank so that the lip around it is above the frame rail instead of being below which raises it about 6-7".....Has anyone ever suffered a fuel delivery problem sitting higher with gravity and all?
And or with fuel injection? The injection is gonna be a while since im not that familiar with camaro FI like I am pickups, alot more dumb relays to mount and sort...right now its on the floor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Did you start cutting up your blazer more?

It would actually help it flow, since the stock style pump is gravity feed. Just make sure you have a nice spot picked out for the pump for when you go electric for the fuel injection, most electric pumps have to be so far above/below the fuel tank.

 

[uglychevyZZ4]

yes, big time. im using the stock in tank style pump /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

I prefer the in tank due to easy availability and longevity. As for mounting it high, should be no problem except for effect on CoG, but no biggy if it doesn’t get too far out of hand. I go to great efforts to keep everything low, but still my CoG is way too high just due to chassis restrictions. That’s one of the big reasons I want to build a real buggy…
