So, how many micron do you figure this fuel pickup filter screen is?
Add fuel delivery to the want list I guess. I siphoned old gas out of the Camaro last summer and it came out nice and clear, but old and smelly. I had no reason to suspect the tank until this summer when I siphoned last summers gas in preparation of dropping the tank for rear spring work... I saw some black grit in the fuel I siphoned. Yesterday I dropped the tank, probably the first time ever out of the car.
This is what the pickup/sending unit looked like.
The inside of the tank after I scraped and poked at the rusty sludge with a screwdriver.
Here is the sediment after I poured off the liquid portion of the gas... Hey, rockets burn "solid fuel" to some extent right? Maybe I could start a new trend.
So now, what to do about it? I can replace with stock or stainless "stock" for a few hundred, I don't see efi being a reality soon budget wise... but how to upgrade the tank effectively and not waste money? I shouldn't call it a waste, but you get the gist.. lots of other areas to cover and this was fairly unforeseen. I'd love to see a fabbed SS tank with baffles and Vaporworx pickups under there but I don't think it is in the cards.
Let me know what you think, I was reading that 3/8" line can only support 400hp which is not a problem for me now, but Someday...
