Hi everyone I'm wondering if I need to install a surge tank into my drover as I fitted a 1.6 efi vit motor and am currently running a high flow fuel pump into fuel rail and then a pressure reg on the return to tank line so as the pressure in the rail always remains the same.

Will I need to change this or is it fine the way it is??

Cheers

why are you bypassing the original pressure reg in the fuel rail?

and yes, there should allways be a surge tank, pot etc etc, whether it be in tank or external.

I have run with out one, but you need to be above 1/4 tank if you want to go on any funky angle's or round corners with out cutting out..

I bypassed the original pressure reg because it wigged out when I installed it into the drover I'm guessing due to the over sized fuel pump I installed its off a M3 BMW a mate had it lying around. lol

What sized surge tank would be best I was thinking like a 0.5ltr pot???

Does anyone have any pics they could throw up of their setups??

cheers
