Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

Todd, you are a life saver and a curse at the same time That's AWESOME!

Everything made perfect sense, I love it..... however.... you're giving me idea's that I don't need

Now I'm thinking about buying that cell, doing everything that you did PLUS, cutting a piece out of the top to gain alot of access inside the thing and building an intank swirl tank. Something that I've always thought every turbo rotary owner should have.

My thoughts are to cut the top out and build a swirl tank, something on the order of a full gallon, just becuase, use the stock drop in supra TT pump that I have, TOTAL overkill but I own it and the stock fuel level sender. With the top cut out build a cup ala factory style that the pump will sit in. Retain the stock feed return lines as well as the sender.

The pump will pump fuel out of the Denso pump, and back into the cell where a line will feed directly into the swirl tank. Weld two -6AN bungs on either side as opposed to a bulkhead fitting, unless you think I've overkilling overkill already and plumb them into the swirl tank which will be welded in place. Run the overflow from the swirl tank parrellel with the feed line so it returns to the cup ala factory style.

-10 outlet on the swirl tank back through two welded -10 fittings (as opposed to a bulkhead fitting) to the outside of the tank where I can run my Bosch 044 pump. The return from the regulator will be run in parrellel with the feed and again through welded fittings on the side of the tank, through the tank to the swirl pot.

The end result will be just as kick ass as yours in that I can pull up to a gas station and fill up like any normal person which was my entire reason for NOT going with the fuel cell MONTHS ago.

One question for you though, how is your tank vented? Right now I converted the check valve and ran that to a sintered filter that I mounted directly above the filler cap. I was having problems with me cap not venting the pressure or vacuum that was being created. I ended up just doing what we always do in the marine world, I vented the bitch to atmosphere. I think I'll prob do that again, but run an anti-siphon loop (something overlooked in the marine world) and a roll-over check valve. So that if I DO fill the tank to the brim on a cold night, and let it sit on a hot day, the fuel will close off the vent valve and just build a bit of pressure until the cap releases some of it, and I don't have to worry about fuel spilling out of te vent line if I top her off and thrash on her immediately.

Anything else to consider? I would LOVE to see some pics. You set a high standard so i would love to see what you've got. Love the idea Todd, thanks much...... I think
