I running a turbo G13b and I am wondering how the fuel system should be best set up.
The fuel pump im running has a 12mm inlet and an 8mm outlet, so I need to modify the left hand tank outlet to 12mm and the return line will be placed at the top of that tank. Just running the standard mini fuel line as the return.
Now here is my problem. I have twin tanks and Im not sure how to best set them up. I have two options.
1. Modify the outlet of the right hand tank to 12mm and add a T section into the outlet of the left hand tank fuel line and add the right hand tank feed into that. So basically the same as cooper S just a bigger size fuel line.
2. Modify the right hand tank outlet to 12mm once again, but modify the right hand tank with another outlet of 12mm also and connect the right hand tank into the left one. So basically the right feeds into the left and hopefully the 12mm line will help to keep them similar heights due to the fuel all coming and returning to the left.
So which one sounds like the best option? or do people have other ideas that they have used? i don't really need a surge tank as I have a decent size fuel filter before the fuel pump which will also sort of work as a surge tank, not that you should really need one being gravity fed, the pump can take as much fuel as it wants when it wants.
Anyway hit me up with your thoughts.
Cheers
