surge tank placement under fd?
 

hi am trying to fit a surge tank under my 99 fd, have searched and can find some info on a fc but nothing for a fd. can anyone help with size and placement please? or an aftermarket one that bolts on if there is such a thing?

cheers mark

Was just under an FD today trying to figure out how to set mine up. Probably going to fit it between the stock gas tank and rear subframe.. will let you know what I come up with.

awesome that would be choice thanks. I would crawl under mine but its 3 hours drive away!

honestly im surprised more havent done this with the fuel feed problems people worry about. unfortunatly im kinda set on getting mine set up intank so i dont have to find a place for it. lol along with the AI which i have no idea how im gonna mount under there yet maybe i should get uder the car an measure lol. interested to see what you come up with if its any good may have to change my idea for mine...

There's a company in the UK called ReWorx who have created a tank that sits in the place of the stock carbon cannister. Pretty dmaned cool if you ask me - it's what I plan to go with :)

It's listed here:

that looks choice! i will look into it further. is a 1L tank big enough? the last guy i talked mentioned a 3L tank..

by saying set up intank do you mean that the surge tank is actually in the petrol main gas tank? do you have to cut it open or? stupid question prob! lol

We actually make a surgetank that goes under a FD.

Bolts onto diff cradle

Beat me to it!! We used to do something like this years ago.

awesome! i just had a look at the raceonly tank and it looks good! thanks i will prob purchase one of those! i saw a whole fuel setup for 900hp for the s1,2,3 is there 1 for the s8?

Yes their is. Pm me about it and i will do you a package deal.

I have my surge tank between the subframe and the factory tank bolted to brackets welded to subframe and uses rubber mounts.
Tank is just on 2L.
Its a twin pump, is fed from factory supply line (from tank into fuel filter then surge tank) then feeds forward through the two factory fuel lines and the carbon canister line is the return back to the surge tank, which then returns to factory return to factory tank.

How do the pumps work mounted like that?

Why wouldnt it?

If surge tank is always full with having return fuel line back to surge tank,the fuel level will be just as high as the top of the pump body so the pump is not sucking cause its always full of fuel

i think he was asking how the fuel setup post surge tank was more so than how did it work... most of us know itll work just fine that orientation.

basically yes. and i have no intention of cutting it open if i cant get it to fit a desent sized surge tank in tank while keeping fuel float and ability to get it in without doing anything drastic. if i cant do these thins i may use some of these posted ideas to design an external setup just easier fit everything i think if the surge tank is intank.

^yeah it would save space underneath if the surge tank is in tank but i think i will go with an external tank underneath as cutting the fueltank open seems like a bit to much drama for this guy lol the ideas that the guys have for the external tanks above look good so im planning on getting one of those :)

probably a stupid question
 

does this replace the canister? if not do you know how i can do so or get another one sense mine got drilled through when the meth kit was put on?
