Fuel tank design?
Anyone here know about fuel tank design? I am rebuilding my Cobra tank from scratch with 1/8" aluminium. Two purposes are more capacity, and dual in-tank pumps to eliminate the noisy in-line T-rex BAP.
The tank is already designed from an external-shape perspective, with the pumps close to center towards the rear of the tank. They are as far back as possible considering the slope at the rear of the tank.
I need to tweak the design for better sumping though. Instead of sumps (which will steal capacity and be difficult to implement cleanly), I was considering baffles surrounding the pump pickups and angled towards the center -- sort of like a pyramid with the top half cut off.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
-Neil.
