Like what I'm hearing!

Phunk, will this eliminate the issue I had over the weekend where the top plate and the rods separated due to the weak structural linkage? Ie are you reinforcing or replacing that structure in this new product?

Also, would like to recommend that you start a new thread with a press release when you are ready so the conversation can stay focused on your product... will help when new people stumble across this issue down the road as well

Side note... NASA and some other sanctioning bodies assign "points" when you use a non-OEM fuel pump... will be well worth it to carry less fuel / weight, but just fyi

I tend to believe that what happened to you over the weekend may be an isolated occurance. Our product is mounting on the opposite side of the fuel tank, and merely interfacing via plumbing with the OEM assembly that broke on you. It would not be too difficult for us to contruct some structural reinforcement for the OEM fuel pump assembly if there is a problem with its integrity. It would be entirely independant of our starvation resolution product.

I will definitely start a new thread for the finished product. We want to market it with a little motivation, I think it will be a popular product.

It is strange that they assign points based on a fuel pump upgrade alone, as a fuel pump doesnt increase horsepower or anything. But it is for certain to enhance track times if you dont have to drive around a problem or deal with momentary power loss.
