efi surge tanks?

efi surge tanks? - 09/10/14 04:53 PM

I know someone recommended the radium(sp) ones.
are there any others?
I don't want to cut up my tank, as I coated it before I installed it.

I have seen the diy one using the remote filter kit, but kind of wanted one to hold the pump too for a cleaner install.

also is there a small intank pump that fits in the existing hole? maybe do a compression fitting to the existing sending unit tube inside the tank?

65 coronet.

Put a common electric pump between your tank and the surge tank.
Move your current pump after the surge tank.

Problem solved.

As slow as your cars is (and how rarely you drive it) I don't think you'd have much of a concern anyway.

lol, I drive it every weekend it isn't raining.
anytime the gauge indicates empty, if I stand on it, I uncover the pickup.
generally there is still around half a tank.
I filled it up from empty with around 22 gallons.
if I fill it up from empty, I only put in 10.
I have gotten as much as 17, if I take it really easy.
but that is really hard to do with an on/off switch.

Edelbrock makes one, it's been discussed a few times around here.

with the pump it makes it a little cheaper even than the radium one's.

but plastic
bad enough to have an alumium fuel bomb in there. but melty plastic doesn't seem like a good idea at all.

I found this link before I stumbled across the Radium stuff.

Personally, I'd just give up on the tank and go with the aeromotive phantom system. Seems like you'd have longer pump life and no more issues...and you should be able to hide it.
