For the last ten years I have had the fuel pump mounted on bottom of the trunk floor, gravity fed from the stock fuel outlet on the Series V car. Bypass fuel was routed to the right hand fuel tank. It worked fine except when fuel level was low and making long left hand turns as found on interstate interchanges. All the fuel would find its way into the the right hand tank, starving the engine for fuel. This is my attempt to solve that problem
The tank is constructed of 3 1/2" exhaust tube. It is 4" long and holds 26 oz. The hose barbs are 5/16", threaded and soldered in place. The side hose barbs are inserted into the tank on a tangent in order to induce swirl. The pump inlet hose is fuel injection hose and will be clamped. The tank mounts under the bottom of the left rear seat in the area occupied by the battery on the other side. There is plenty of room and the bottom of the fuel pump hangs down only to the top of the leaf spring. The pump mount is machined out of a slab of 1" aluminum.
The tank is functionally complete. It has to be sealed (POR 15 tank sealer) and painted.
