I have a Spectra GN tank in my Malibu. Never had any starvation issues with it but it sure does have the venting problem while fueling it up. It backs up enough air that it will spray back out of the neck if you get in a hurry.

If I wanted to baffle my tank I would use the foam like we used on our circle track cars

http://www.ksrfoam.com/Gas_tank_foam_.php
I thought about some thing like this but what about the level sensor.
i wanna find real world test of the Holley Hydramat. I thought of something like that with the stock pick up and an external pump for efi. I really dont want to sump my tank.


I was thinking something like this. This sender that is 1/2 tubing. or to really cheap out the Holley hydramat had options for magnet to be installed on the corners to help keep in place. I would get the stock sender and remove the return tube. Install a bulk head fitting and run a -8 line to the hydramat itself. then used the factory 3/8 line as the return.
I plan on using E85 so I would like to run at least -8 feed to the regulator and should be ok with -6 return

I wasn't thinking abotu the sender but it would be easy enough to fabricate a cage to protect it. We had no gauge in the fuel cell, just measured what we put in so it could do the laps required....yellow and red flags made us a bit nervous if the car could make it.

Steve,

Would that foam be a good long term solution? I thought I read online that it breaks down over time.

we used the same foam in a few different race cars and never had an issue with it breaking down. There is different foam for ethanol blends and another for methanol fuel

It will break down, but it takes a long time, like ten or more years.

Hey, to the guys running the Aeromotive Gen II Stealth tank, I just mounted mine tonight and wtf? The sending unit is right smack where the tank mount brace is?!? You guys have this same issue? What were they thinking, they claim it’s a direct fit unit. I’ll have to cut away part of the brace to get this to work, although I’m reluctant as it may have some structural connections to the trunk? Really disappointed.
