Hi every body.

I am keen to see what fuel systems and set ups people are using. I noticed a few different configurations at Gaydon and am keen to see pictures and specs of what others are running. Whether it be standard tank with swirl pots, or full boot systems etc.

:) :)

In the process of fitting last years F1 pumps to the turd.

Plan is for a dead head system (no return and no regulator) with a lifter pump and a main pressure pump taking its fuel from a 1l swirl pot.

Lifter pump is mounted and finished.

Pump it self will be controlled by CAN from the ECU.

On to the main pressure pump.

This is a Bosch unit, pretty neat actually, more information is available on the Bosch site.

Looks very small in the boot.

All hooked up to the ECU.

Small video of the main pump being controlled by the ECU.

Thanks for sharing keen to see more.

How have people found the balance of the car with the fuel tank in the boot? I'm a bit sceptical to move it from the standard position to the rear?
