Seb has been testing the twin pump with the new surge canister add-on kit for a couple days now. Gradually asking it for more, to see if he can find a limit to what it will do. Today he took it hard around a right hand on ramp, with the low fuel level light on, and then went full throttle with his 650-700whp map... no hiccups. This would of course not be possible without some form of surge protection.

As time goes on, we will find out more what its capable of. Higher power (fuel consumption rate) is asking more from it, more aggressive back and forth sloshing is asking more of it. It will be interesting to see where the limit is, or if anyone finds it. But I think its safe to say at this point that the canister add-on for the twin pump has the fuel slosh issue well under control.

Even if a limit is found beyond what its been through so far, it is still a world of improvement already and should be all that most users need. On top of that, I have one more add-on for the twin pump coming. Its a multi-point scavenging kit that is going to scavenge fuel from the remote corners of the tank. With this final addition, there is not really much else to ask from a fuel pump system.

The only reason to proceed with the RRP2.0 is to have something for people who dont want to install a return system, primarily naturally aspirated track cars. But the RRP2.0 will still be setup to accommodate big power and return systems anyway, because people are known to change directions with their build.
