fuel surge

Post by RallyRS »

Hi,

I'm getting fuel surge in my RS.

I have standard fuel pumps so looking at upgrading and fitting a surge tank.

How bigger surge tank do I need?
What fuel pumps should I use before and after the surge tank?

Cheers

Ohhhhh. Fuel pump sucking up air under hard cornering and such, right? OK, I get it. Sorry I can't really help, but you just helped me educate myself. :-D

Also known as 'fuel slosh' to us yanks. I'd recommend inquiring on http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/ as these forums are not very performance oriented. Good luck!
