hello had a car with a simliar space problem with the up front fuel cell..i was running alcohol injected RON'S TOILET BOWL.direct port injection..
what i had to do was order a SURGE TANK..its a tank that is mounted up front and has a carb float bowl attached to it for fuel level adjustment..the SURGE TANK is fed from the main tank in the rear of car with a healthy fuel pump that can handle the PUSH...Many out there that can fed a surge tank Aeromotive a-2000, Magnafuel prostar 500 ( my favorite)..i would call Ron's and ask them about this set up...
of course the pump,cam driven or belt driven is gravity fed..so this mean the surge tank must be mounted a little higher then the blower pump..same as front mounted fuel cell.
2nd option or maybe 1st option- run the 4 gallon tank and see if it will be enough fuel..i know i ran a 383 sbc alcohol blown motor 80a cam driven pump stage 4 bds blower with enderle birdcathcer injection..it used right at 4 gallons of fuel in full 1/8 mile pass..so i would say you are close here.
last option- have a custom fuel cell made..i have seen all types,forms and shapes fabricated for the car to use them...last one i saw was built just like the radiator deminsions in the car except a little smaller..he did this for space reasons..i ask him how much it held..and it was an amazing 7 gallons...deminsons were approx 20 inches tall 22 inches wide and 3 inches deep....you can have something like this made up and it will work.
your conventional off the shelf poly tanks hardly ever work in a custom/unique HOTROD......
i beleive you will find the answer in one of my senerio's...if you think about it long and hard enough and do research.
i would also suggest calling "Good Vibrations" and getting one of their fuel loop back systems ( apporx $80.00)..this will eliminate the 3 return lines to your fuel cell...what it does is circulates your fuel back into the pump..your pump will never go dry..this is cam driven pump..GREAT INVENTION..and cleans up the front of motor ( no extra fuel lines) and supports saftey by not having extra alcohol in the return lines.
hope this helps you some
thanks brian
