Fuel starvation, who else?

Yes, I had a second and third fuel pump that fed back to the OEM pump. I pulled those out for safety reasons... they were getting hot when not soaked

Yes, I had a second and third fuel pump that fed back to the OEM pump. I pulled those out for safety reasons... they were getting hot when not soaked in fuel, ie when turning left and I didn't want to risk it... the other problem was that those secondary fuel pumps were not mounted they were just held down by the foam... they were bumping around a lot... the solution z fever is putting together will use a second pump but it will be soaked at all times I understand, and so less risk. The secondary pump will mount in the secondary access panel and will be integrated with an in-tank swirl pot... one simple unit that then feeds back over to the OEM pump, as I understand it.

In any event, I'm going to refrain from discussing it further until Doug can come in here and explain for himself. It's his product, not mine.

Anyone know if it's possible to simply swap the OEM pump and secondary sender from side to side? Won't fix the issue per se, but it would mitigate it due to the fact that the vast majority of tracks run clockwise.
