Fuel
Nothing special here...Fuel Tank
 |
The 'offrodeo' has twin fuel tanks, one sits atop the
other and gravity feeds via plumbing just behind the differential. The
lower tank contains a fuel bladder, whilst the upper is filled with foam.
Both accomplish the same end; stopping the fuel sloshing around. Due
to the absence of a fuel sender/gauge, the fuel level can only be taken from
the top tank via dipping (dip a stick in, read the level; you get the
idea...).
Fuel is fed to the injectors via a scavenging pump, feeding a swirl pot, feeding a high-pressure pump/filter. The system does however have a fuel pressure gauge, which normally runs at about 40-50psi. When the car runs out of fuel, the pumps still manage to put out about 20psi (pressurised air), which can be slightly misleading if you're trying to figure out why the engine won't run. |
