Gaz Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just drawing up a surge tank on Cad so a mate can make it at work on his "lunch break" What I was thinking and im pretty sure im right but thought Id check is... Tall and skinny round 3l cap Top of tank on side 3 threaded fittings (surge to tank, reg to surge, feed from tank) Bottom of tank on side 1 threaded fitting (feed from surge to rail) All fittings 3/8 Sounds cool? What grade stainless tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 4" tube @ 300mm high = 2.4l 4" tube @ 400mm high = 3.2l 6" tube @ 200mm high = 3.6l 6" tube @ 300mm high = 5.4l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Mean 4got Bdog could hook us up ... wonder what else we could get him to make? Whens the next build day uni titties? We got an orange escort to race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah Bdawg on the ball. Hope he can TIG ok lol. This one seems good and will fit down in spare wheel arch. 4" tube @ 400mm high = 3.2l That tank I got has a 1inch outlet so will have to reduce that which is not an issue. Prob is that the feed will come out under the car so it will then have to turn and come back into the boot (prob in spare wheel arch) to the lift pump and surge tank. Guess it isnt really a prob. Work on escort Thurs and Fri or maybe just one aye. I got nothing on till May 6th now. Could either get this fuel system sorted or put gbox etc in and move engine back/cut sump and mod pickup. But we dont got any Argon at the mo. Prob more important to finish mounting engine to be honest. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtailfred Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 2.0 is enough ey, it will give you a solid minute of full noise, 2 minutes of half noise etc, you will never exceed that. 100 x 200 would be ok. bigger is better, but overkill isn't helping really. more = longer for you lift pump running dry too those top fittings can be on the very top if you want too. my surge > tank return is from the top, the others are on the sides.

Guest vvega Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 304 is not stronger is just a myth there pritty much the same material.... though 316 is less likely to crack or fatige than 304...but not buy fuck all 316 stains teh same as 304 when welding......you use pickling past to fix that and to take out any corosive materials left over from the welding process 316 is more expensive...... you wanna get it presure tested ..incase ya return blocks or somethgin equally as ublikely happens your fitting plan sounds fine if you are worried bout leaks ill weld it for ya just send that shit up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
