FD3S Rear "Euro" Washer/Fluid Tank
#251
No plan for a boss as that's not where we suggest nozzle placement - but that can always change. However, the material is thick enough for a nozzle even without the boss.
#255
This is our recommended nozzle placement:
No, it won't get every last drop - but any tank (fuel, methanol, OMP) isn't really design to be run bone dry anyhow. What this position does is allow for completely safe nozzle placement and convenient access for a number of setups.
As I mentioned before, you can drill anywhere you want. There is nothing limiting you or anyone from adapting this tank to your exact requirements. However, when designing ANY product, we have to design for the 99% of users that want something as close to "bolt on" as possible.
We're adding this ridge / sump as an effort to accommodate concerns about slosh that may occur in the 1%. We have CFD tests being run to figure out real data on slosh, potential starvation at various loads (Gs) and capacity (% full/empty). We'll share those findings as we get them.

I'm glad you decided to put more effort into the design. Without any kind of baffle, my interest was fading back to a custom fabricated tank with baffles.
From the interest seen so far to divide up cost, I don't mind paying an extra $50 in the end for more test tanks and analysis. Would be great to put a prototype on the track for testing.
Thanks for the work to bring this to the market,
Jack

This man has 20/10 vision indeed. I had heard some rumblings via the OG/R grapevine, and I come in to check status and behold, what do I seeeeeee
Matt, this product is coming along awesome-- you are to be commended Sir
Hell, i may just have to get one of these suckers. But, but, I kinda *like* topping off my oem washer tank at every gas fill up

We'll put out the best product the first time around using all available testing methods to get there.

How many times to you wish you could just buy a CWC intercooler or Noltec mounts or a turbojeff battery tray / P-FC holder - only to find out they stopped making them a while ago?
Anyhow, more info to come on that.
Never too late to start!
Another idea that I'm toying with is a gradual slope along the entirety of the "left" side of the tank. Let gravity have it's way with reducing slosh. I'm a little concerned about giving up capacity, but it really might be the simplest / most effective idea.
At the end of the day, CFD testing is going to tell us what we need to know and we'll make an informed decision once we have solid data.

Sit tight. I have this design as well as the original design currently going through CFD (computational fluid dynamic) testing. I'm going to test at multiple volume levels (75% capacity, 50% capacity, 25% capacity) as well as multiple lateral G scenarios.

The slope is what I was saying.
now, there is a way to have the ridges work for you. Slope with ridges, except have a 1cm gap in the center of the ridges. Limited fluid movement. I can make a drawing if you'd like. I understand that the restriction is the manufacturing process, so we have to figure out how to make the shape a production possibility while still getting the fluid slosh control that would make for peace of mind ..

Hey guys!
Sorry for the delay on updates. But I can assure you we've been working hard.
So over the past week, we've nailed down two updated designs, run the original designs through CFD testing and scheduled additional CFD testing on the new designs.
First of all, the amount of support and input from the crowd has been amazing and pushed us to make this the best product we can make, using the most advanced techniques available.
I'm waiting until all the data is in to share results - but I gotta say it's so cool and the ONLY way to do a project like this.
However, we have two more designs we'd like to test / share.
SLOPED
TOP BAFFLE
My gut is that the slope will actually end up being the best at controlling the slosh (gravity always wins) but I figured we should also test for the top baffle and see how that shakes out.
At the end of the day, as I've said time and time before. We really want to put out the best product and there's no excuses for not doing that, especially with all the tools at our disposal. So yes, this has added a little delay to the project, but I think the return on investment/development should be worth it.

You can get a rough idea how a baffle design will handle lateral g's simply by tilting the tank by the right amount and testing with different liquid levels. Say 1.2 g's lateral acceleration added to the 1 g due to gravity, tilt the tank by arctan(lateral g's/gravity) to simulate. arctan (1.1/1) = 50 degrees.
Obviously this won't model vibration, variation in lateral g's, vertical impulse loads (bumps), constant draw, etc. Is that what you are catching with CFD?

However, we aren't 3D printing every design we think up. THAT gets pricey for an (arguably) less accurate test with less variables.

So designs that don't even meet this nominal test case will not work. For example, sloped bottoms angled at less than 50 degrees won't provide any baffle effect for cars capable of 1.2g lateral acceleration.
CFD can then be used to model changing radius, vertical impulses, and all the other things that create waves and slosh.
Thanks again for all your work on this. It is a lot to take on!
