Stuttering at Spa? - Page 4

Hi

Shimmy- if you dual feed a pump that 'sucks'
then it should always pull fuel, so long
as one of the feeds is always constantly fed.

The reason being that as fuel is heavier than
air, the pump has to suck the lighter air
through the heavier density fuel, of the constant
supply.

That is why its important to have some hose away from
the 'T' in both directions, so that if one of the feeds is exposed
to air, then its easier for the pump to keep sucking from
the constant feed, than to suck the lighter air in 'through'
the heavier fuel.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

My head is starting to hurt with all this thinking.

Good info Gorilla.

Sounds easier to ensure enough fuel is in tank.

Hi,

Two Straws and Stella will get you pissed,
nothing else.

Sounds like a plan though.

Have one straw, short distance, which then has a 'T'
for two feeds from the 'T' into your Stella.

Sticking two straws straight into the ''Shimisters
Stella sucker'' will not prove the point.

Start sucking up your Stella with both feeds
well into the amber juice, and while still
sucking at an even rate just pull one feed
out, you should still be on the way to getting
well pissed, not spluttering and coughing as usual !!!

Regards,

The Gorilla.

That's far too easy.

I know what you mean fellow ape.

Some good info and theoretically it should work, an easy try to be honest.

The drawbacks of using full tank of juice is the handling characteristics of the car, 1/4 tank is much faster than full tank. And to be fair if you guys didnt want to be quick why modify in the first place

.

I only ever had it happen below 1/4 tank, so I never let it drop below from halfway between 1/4 and 1/2, seemed to cure my issues.
