    Great series would love some more detailed content especially on the plenum fab will be making my own soon, looking forward to the finished product

    Hey lads awesome work. I'm in the process of building my own alloy fuel tank. Would love to see a bit more on the fuel hanger you guys built, and how you hook up the fuel lines from the pump up to the top fitting on the tank.Also did you weld a thicker piece on the inside top of the tank to tap the holes that the hanger bolts too?

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      9 min 28 sec mark you can see the 12mm plate we welded to the underside of the lid. We use these www.proflow.com.au/catalog/511510?prodtype=1 to feed the electrical wires from one side to the other, and the hanger was just machined out alloy bar stock that was cut into 3 pieces, with a 3/8" barb welded to each end, and then in tank rubber fuel hose connecting to the pumps. It all joined up to the single -10AN outlet you can see welded to the cap.

    Aren't there suppose to be relays for the fuel system?? Thumbs up for the Alice In Chains shirt

    • @BackyardMechanics

      wiring will be covered off when we tackle all the cars electronics in a later video

  • @decayingcorpse

    What's the safety regs on fuel cell under bonnet?
    Just thinking if that rotary and/or turbo goes boom. You going to shield it in some way?

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      pretty common practice in drag racing to have weight on the nose of the car, and no problem legality wise. You'll find many drag cars that can fit fuel cells in the engine bay do so.

  • @darrylcollinet8190
    @darrylcollinet8190 Před 7 lety

    Hi. How do you connect to the fuel pumps inside the tank?

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      HI Darryl, i cut the bar stock i milled out into 4 pieces. 3 had 3/8" barbs welded to the ends, then all 3 pieces were welded to the forth piece to make what looks like a chickens foot i guess! The 3 ends ran to each pump and the other side out of the -10AN fitting on the lid. Electrical wires are run out via little insulated studs

    That tank looks tiny?

    • @TheTwinkyehzZ
      @TheTwinkyehzZ Před 7 lety +4

      It's a drag car, only needs to start up, do a burnout, drive 400 metres and that's it.

    • @psirx7
      @psirx7 Před 7 lety

      Those 3 pumps will heat up the fuel in that small fuel cell in no time..

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      Its approximately 17 litres, so more than enough capacity for its intended use. Only 1 pump runs for a majority of the time. all 3 pumps will only be running for around 10-11 seconds, so not enough time to put any heat into that volume of fuel.

  • @psirx7
    @psirx7 Před 7 lety

    How you going to fit the cooler pipe past the fuel cell to the throttle body?.

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      bluetooth or wifi boost technology

    • @psirx7

      MrParts_RotaryRaceCars wow..my question was legit.Last time I bother to give input.

      relax bro, it was a joke and all will be revealed in the next episode.

    Wouldn't trust fuel cell near radiator fuel not suppose to be exposed to heat anyway ( in engine bay no no). And especially going to be race car with mean extra power and heat

    • @fullboost
      @fullboost  Před 7 lety +2

      jasterable Installing a fuel cell in the engine bay is a common modification in a car that will not be street driven.

    No Baffle? I'm baffled as to why, so I guess there is a baffle hey....

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety

      The pumps are submerged in 15L of E85 before we start a pass and a single run doesnt use much fuel at all, so no reason for any form of baffling. We arent going around corners and fuel wont get low, so all good

  • @allywilkeforsenate
    @allywilkeforsenate Před 2 lety

    No bladder,no foam,no baffles.It is a fuel tank not a fuel cell.

  • @Finnspin_unicycles
    @Finnspin_unicycles Před 7 lety +1

    I'm not a fan of that fuel tank location. I'd be to concerned about hitting the front left corner, and the tank springing a leak all over the engine, sounds like a big fire to me. A fuel cell in the trunk would be easier and safer.

    • @fullboost
      @fullboost  Před 7 lety +3

      +F1NNSP1N Its actually safer to have a fire contained to the engine bay rather than under the car.

    • @BackyardMechanics
      @BackyardMechanics Před 7 lety +1

      Its one of the reasons we welded up every single last hole in the second episode. God forbid there is an accident or a fire, the firewall is completely sealed off from the engine bay
