    twin fuel pump conversion

    I was looking at a thread regarding fuel starvation on track.no body had a conclusion as to what the solution was in the end?if anyone has done this conversion I'm interested in doin the same.just wondered how it plums in.do fuel pump electric wires run onto the existing pump wires and does the fuel line t into the fuel feed line or into the tank.thanx

          There was no conclusion to it.I don't think twin pump would work anyway.a swirl pot system is whats needed or a fuel cell.both more expensive than simply filling the tank and not dropping past half way.

            I thought thee was a simple 'twin pick up' to the single pump upgrade option!

                so basically the pic is of a tank wid 2 pumps sitting in fuel.now second pic is of what would happen as you hit a hard right corner on low tank.both pumps would starve as they both have same amount of fuel.UNLESS the left side stays full and only works when cornering?????then there is a wieght difference making left side heavier.so really best option is to sit the pump in a bowl that stays full at all times.

                      We ran this same setup on 3 E36 M3 race cars all fitted with around 1200lb springs with no surge at all

                            Adam did you read the part where it says not all cars suffer from this?


                            I think the answer is that not all fuel pick ups sit in the same place in the tank....

                              Mine def was there in 2006 but has got marginally worse over time, now stutters on 3 RH corners just above qtr tank, whereas used to be well below qtr tank it would start.
