So I read the whole thing, and if I am understanding what I read correctly, the problem is not that the driver's side goes dry, while all the fuel is over on the passenger side saddle (the theory I have read here on the forum) but that there are only two venturi. When cornering hard, one...
Also from page 3, by KPM:
"The KPM fuel bucket requires 10lph for each venturi jet. 4 venturis jets = 40lph total
Each venturi siphon draws 363lph from the tank into the bucket 4 venturi siphons = 1452 lph total
1452lph - 40lph = 1412 lph bucket refill rate."
and
We tested the standard...
Ewheels, thank you for sharing that. So three pages in, they discuss that there is a 1/8" line that feeds one of the venturis, which is how the fuel is transferred from the passenger to the driver side. On page one, KPM notes: Two venturis, one pulls from each side of the tank.
So . . . the...
Just do it!!!! :like:
Have fun.
I am sure it will be fine and do well. I would bet your pads and fluid are already good enough to have an enjoyable track day.
The S550 and S650 tanks look very similar, so there must be a similar method of operation. Moreover, this is a common fuel tank design in sporty, low cars where the driveshaft passes under the tank (the hump is to clear the driveshaft). I was reading on a BMW Z4 track forum about this fuel...
This country was a part of the United Kingdom until we rebelled, actually opening fire when General Gage decided to seize weapons (we still do not like gun control to this day). Interestingly, we were very close to adopting the same system as the European countries, early in the history of our...
I wish the dash was in mph so I was not having to multiply by .62 in my head all the time while also watching the video, especially when my 8 year old asks, how fast is he going now, Dad?
Has anybody cut open a fuel tank and looked inside? Do you know how it operates?
How did Ford design the transfer of fuel from the passenger side to the driver side, where the fuel pump is located?
Obviously, it cannot get over there all by itself. Just look:
Excellent explanation and video, thank you. The video did not use the secondary location, though, so while I can see the four venturis at the bottom doing their job all the way to the bottom of the primary side of the tank, I still do not know how the fuel gets over from the passenger side to...
Well, I guess we are going to find out soon enough about Whipples and tracking and heat . . .
Especially since the oil was already overheated in the video today.
They both seemed really impressed, and they both commented that it felt like they had more speed left in a lot of the track, like comfortable room to go faster.
I liked his comment toward the end, "My American viewers are going to love this video . . ."
One thing, though, is that the oil was...
