Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

The stock fuel pump has a little surge like fuel holding area on top that is obviously not adequate. I wonder if there is a way to make it hold twice the volume there and if that would fix the issue without the complexity of a separate fuel pump and surge tank.

I think it only holds like half a cup of fuel. I suspect that if you double or tripled the capacity, it might help some in certain situations, but I don't think anything short of additional pickups or a (comparatively) huge surge capacity is going to make it starve proof down to empty.

So I'm exploring those options, additional pickups with inexpensive lift pumps and/or a huge surge capacity.
