CJM Fuel Starvation Control Product, Round 2

phunk

If you bypass the stock filter or remove it, you will have to also add a return system since the filter is where the regulator you.

As for the RRP, a regulator cannot be added without also adding a filter. It would be poor form to send unfiltered fuel through a regulator. So my options are filter only, regulator and filter, or neither.

Thanks for the info. I'll leave this to you, the expert, I just hope the v2 system does not cost more than the v1. If it's easier to install with little to no maintenance that would be a huge plus.

EDIT: Actually wouldn't mind paying a little more for the v2 if it meant the install was considerably easier and less time consuming. I know that's a fine balance....

Rusty, about the electrical part, where did you put the relay?
TIA!

Rusty

If you have the plastic panels removed. I drilled a hole and mounted on the left side of the car. It's on the body panel that mounts the seat belt. It's grounded there too,

Ok, I kinda picture that.
I feel I'm beginning to see the end of the tunnel ^^
Thanks!

Coyote

Is the breaker provided with the kit? I can't remember...

Rusty

Breaker?

The circuit breaker that goes on the + line from battery. It's mentioned as included on the doc (p36), but I don't remember seeing it...

Rusty

Ok, that one. I have it mount next to the battery.

I can speculate a few nuisances it would create.

but the only thing we know for certain is that you are also too lazy to try it, so thats that.

i assume it's a PITA to install or someone would have tried it already. i've even seen a couple of posts where phunk said "put foam in the tank, let me know"

i'd say my biggest deterrent for installing foam would be foam breakdown/clogging issues. i haven't really thought about foam for some years, but i remember from 4x4 days that guys with extreme rockcrawlers, using foam, would often see that foam break down and clog the system (albeit temporarily). i've read that some foams are better than others and IIRC it has something to do with colors, which i can only assume is a difference in compound/polymer more than aesthetics. they also recommend always keeping a full tank when the truck was stored.

based on his interactions with others phunk seems pretty open to finding alternate solution. i saw someone post about a holley product that works on surface tension principle that looked pretty trick. also someone mentioned putting multiple picks up in the tank (which i guess is complicated by the fuel pump inlet design on our cars).

anyway, just throwing my 1 cent in...

Scott,

I've done some reading up on the foam over the years. The consensus seems to be that the foam does very little when it comes to fuel starvation. This is especially true for long sweeping corners. It might offer some assistance, but only for a short period of time (short and quick corners).

The foam is really meant to keep the fuel from banging around in the tank during high G changes (roll overs, crashes, chicanes, etc). 10 gallons of fuel smacking the tank can upset the car/truck/bike and be a safety concern. Especially for people that run fuel cells. So it's used to slow down the slosh, but does not do much to eliminate it in the way we need it to.

I know it's used also in large fuel tankers to keep weight transfer to a minimum.

Just some thoughts.

Phunk,

Thoughts on this? Sorry if I'm hijacking...
