Fuel Cell

Post by PDXLance »

All,
I got a new fuel cell foam for my KBS last year, but pick up and possible capacity is an issue. I am going to install a hydra mat from Holly and may need to add less dense foam. Any recommendations for the foam to add?

That is a fuel pickup mat that actually will allow fuel to be sucked in, small pores so it act as a filter as well. when the pores become uncovered they close off to prevent air from getting in, the wetted part of the mat will continue to allow fuel to get in. A couple good video from Holley that demonstrate it. It has been around for years.

Sounds interesting. Good way to get all the fuel you need out of the tank.
