The fuel pumps inside the surge tank provide the primary fueling to the engine. The optimized 2.2 liter canister supports 1, 2, or 3 internally mounted surge tank pumps capable of over 4000HP (Gas 3bar, BSFC.

RADIUM FUEL CELL PROFESSIONAL

The FCST uses the tried and true Radium Engineering fuel surge tank system preferred by professional motorsports teams worldwide. Alcohol fuels such as E85, methanol, etc can be safely used. The FCST also provides a quick and easy way to drop-in an upgraded fuel pump system for extra flow for vehicles with large power demand upgrades. It features a true dual-chamber fuel tank utilizing a single lift pump and up to three surge tank pumps, all in a compact drop-in package. The FCST is designed for EFI vehicles experiencing fuel pump starvation issues while using a competition fuel cell. The Fuel Cell Surge Tank (FCST) is a fill plate replacement for popular fuel cells including Radium, ATL, FuelSafe, Pyrotect, Harmon, Jaz, etc. While this setup may not be for everyone (which it isn't).it was custom made for my requirements and I am more than pleased with the outcome.Fuel Cell Surge Tank (FCST) by Radium Engineering Just look up a youtube video with the HPF track/drag car with their surge tank/fuel cell setups.so loud.Ĭheck this website for an unbiased comparison of several in-demand fuel pumps: Yes there are pipe flow losses when using bends in any pipe system (Bernoulli's Principle - Basic Flow Dynamics) however my fuel system is over sized and the regulator is mounted close to the rail so there is no worries in regards to having a few 90' fittings.not to mention the flow losses are almost completely negligible when comparing a similar system which has no 90' bends but for the sake of argument yes there are losses but in this case it's not a problem.if you have an undersized pumping solution then yes it would be a problem.Īnother awesome feature of these new Walbro 400 E85 fuel pumps is that they are extremely quiet.I cannot hear them turn on which if you've ever heard a loud fuel pump setup you will know how annoying that can be.

We also used several 90' fittings for the best install of this setup.

Keep in mind there is the added safety risk of having fuel system components mounted in the trunk area with this setup, there is no doubt on this and I accept that.

RADIUM FUEL CELL UPGRADE

I had fuel starvation issues at the road course over a year ago and have held off from track events since then because of it.so do I feel that this was a necessary upgrade for me? Yes and it provides peace of mind knowing I can do a WOT pull with under a 1/4 tank of fuel or take a long sweeping corner and mash the gas without going lean.

The goal was to keep all the trunk space and have everything hidden along with having more fuel than I would ever need.goal was achieved. There is also a notched section for the fuel lines to go through which is paper thin from the factor and reinforced with thicker plate. Could probably move things around to 'make' it fit but regardless I never had that in the first place so plenty of room was available. I have a Dynavin unit which is better than the OEM nav system (IMO) so that is an alternative.

This setup won't work with Nav/CD pack equipped cars as the surge tank is mounted where these items are. Fuel Lab Fuel Pressure Regulator w/ Radium Fuel Pressure Gauge
