  • Lots of questions were asked about my Radium Engineering surge tank for the #ChaosTheoryCamaro so I thought I'd do this little video explaining what it does and why I'm using it.

      There are cheaper ones on the market. I think I said it in the video but the main reason I went with this one was because it’s designed to be put in the truck instead of under the hood or somewhere else outside the car. You can get regular generic surge tanks on eBay for less than $200 if that isn’t a concern. 👍

      @@BadLuckGarage ya I was looking at the eBay dual one for $225. Dual 450s should do 1750 HP at the crank which is about 1230 HP to the wheels. I do not think I would ever go over that.

    yeah they are better in the hatch space to keep the fuel temps down... Id only be concerned about snapping a line in a side corner impact accident. i have a single pump surge for a 450 but im mounting it towards the middle front of the hatch to keep it safe. Im also adding an emergency cut off switch that i can reach just incase of a leak of any kind. that and a (fuel) cool can to keep temps down and its good to go. good stuff

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před 3 lety

      If I get hot from the side at the drag strip then fuel leakage is probably going to be the least of my worries. 🤣 But the fire system will come after the roll cage is installed. As explained in the video, this tank also has a safety switch that can be installed and sends a 5v signal if file level drops more than about 1” below the top. This will trigger my Holley ecu to not only shut down the pumps, but all over systems as well. And currently I already have a safety setup to shut down if fuel pressure drops below 30psi after our last escapade at the drag strip a few months ago. 👍

    But would the rubber hose be reliable submerged in the tank? I think it's be better with the flexible plastic hose.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před 3 lety +1

      It’s submersible hose. There’s a difference between regular fuel line and submersible fuel line. 😉 I 100% do NOT recommend using regular fuel hose inside your fuel tank.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před 3 lety +2

      Nuke is the company that offered me a discount to do a video with their tank. I chose this one instead for the reasons I mentioned in the video. There is no real HP goal for this car other than “beyond four digits”. This car is going to be a mainstay on this channel and will just continue to grow and get faster. It’s the only vehicle in the channel without a real goal or budget.

    The rubber hose you used doesn't look like the ones that come with the 450 pumps. I hope it's not I know of 2 youtubers and myself that that the cheap hose blow out in the fuel tank. Just wondering. Thanks for the video.

    How does the stock in tank fuel pump keep the surge tank fully supplied with up to 3 fuel pumps out of the surge tank?

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  Před 11 měsíci

      Because you’re only using all the fuel volume of the pumps in the surge tank for a few seconds at a time, and during those few seconds they have the entire volume of fuel in the surge tank to draw from.

      Unless it’s a carbureted setup, you’re still going to have a return, just not a return from the rails. So it will work exactly the same.
