Mark, here's a link to a chart that specs out what size fuel line to run
based on things like HP and fuel type.

https://historicracinggroup.com/resources/Reference_Material/Canton/Fuel%20=
Consumption%20and%20Flow%20Quick%20Ref%20by%20CM%20Filters.pdf

I run metal braided lines (AN) fitting type in the trunk and under the
bonnet (with bulkhead fittings) and metal lines in the cockpit, Fuel reg
with gauge in the engine bay where I can see what's getting delivered at
the engine.

I agree with Jason on the location of the regulator. My Holly regulator is m=
ounted on the firewall bulkhead, with a tap for the fuel pressure gauge on t=
he dash right off the regulator.
My GT6 runs triple webers, 6 AN line from the rear. The pump is a facet 40=E2=
=80=93105, puts out plenty of fuel flow. It=E2=80=99s rated at one to four p=
si. My regulator is set for a three psi discharge. Webers don=E2=80=99t like=
 to see any more than that.. Fuel filter in the rear upstream of the pump. I=
t=E2=80=99s a fram canister filter.
As a sidenote, I think having the fuel pressure gauge visible is handy so yo=
u have a confirmation that the fuel pump is working fine. That said, those f=
acets seem to run forever, and I just replaced my first one after 15 years.
One thing I think you=E2=80=99ll find with the webers, which are great, is t=
hat they have big float bowls. When you shut off the car, shut off the fuel p=
ump first, and let it run a couple minutes to drain down the fuel bowls. Tha=
t way you don=E2=80=99t have hot fuel from the exhaust manifold heat when yo=
u try to start the car again.
Seems to work much better! I=E2=80=99m usually killing the fuel pump as I ro=
ll off the track into the pits.

Holley makes a pickup attachment called Hydramat that will suck fuel from
anywhere it touches making the one pickup style fuel cells even better than
adding a second pickup. We use it in the ChampCar. Before we added one we
found that we would have fuel pickup issues with a couple of gallons of
fuel in the cell. The strategy we use on our 15 gallon tank is to start
full, run 2 hours, add 10 gallons at each stop and before the Hydramat we
had drivers coming in early  for a "miss", throwing off the whole plan. The
only drawback is that you can completely run out of fuel. It'll miss and
then stop pretty quickly!

Great responses, recommendations from all - very much appreciated.  =
Thought I would summarize the key recommendations:

=20

1.      Fuel Regulator - 1-4 psi (with 3 psi discharge) placed up front =
with meter for ease of tuning, etc.

2.      Fuel Pump - also capable of 1 - 4 psi (consistent with Pierce =
Manifold=E2=80=99s recommendation).=20

3.      Fuel Line =E2=80=93 hard line (3/8=E2=80=9D) front to back with =
-6AN braided PTFE to connect carbs, pump, regulator, and fuel cell.

4.      Fuel Return line - after the regulator, back to the fuel cell =
with a .040" restrictor.  This helps maintain much more consistent fuel =
pressure at idle VS wide open.

5.      Fuel Cell Pickups =E2=80=93 either 2 duckfoot pickups, one in =
each back corner, or Holley HydraMat

https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/

6.      Fuel Safety addition - Revolution fuel pump controller - Pump =
only runs if there is a tach signal from the ignition.  =20

https://www.revolutionelectronics.com/Products/Fuel_Pump.html

7.      Brands - Holley seems to be the brand of choice, also mentioned =
- Carter (high volume/low pressure specifically for multi-Webers)=20

8.      Weber Fuel Bowl Tip- When you shut off the car, shut off the =
fuel pump first, and let it run a couple minutes to drain down the =
[Weber] fuel bowls. Mitigates hot fuel in the bowls heated by exhaust =
manifold.

9.      Fuel Cell Dipstick Tip =E2=80=93 dipstick marking - fill one =
gallon at a time and mark the dipstick at each level.

10.   Fuel Line Spec Chart - =

Oh, don=E2=80=99t run out of gas while on the track!

Thanks again to all that responded!

Holley makes a pickup attachment called Hydramat that will suck fuel =
from anywhere it touches making the one pickup style fuel cells even =
better than adding a second pickup. We use it in the ChampCar. Before we =
added one we found that we would have fuel pickup issues with a couple =
of gallons of fuel in the cell. The strategy we use on our 15 gallon =
tank is to start full, run 2 hours, add 10 gallons at each stop and =
before the Hydramat we had drivers coming in early  for a "miss", =
throwing off the whole plan. The only drawback is that you can =
completely run out of fuel. It'll miss and then stop pretty quickly!

For years I just had the stock metal line in my full-race Spitfire, =

all in the trunk =E2=80=93 then a single line through the passenger =

For the TR6 maybe something else. Oh, and ALL lines braided since they =

=20

I ordered my fuel cell direct from ATL and specified the two pickups. =
Roundy-round guys usually only have one, in the right-rear corner, =
because they only turn left. We go both ways. I also ordered the cell =
with a dipstick to know the fuel level. And then  ?? =
<https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/[email-masked]/png/64/1f606.p=

in, the foam inside did not! I had to take the top off, pull the foam =
out, figure out where the hole needed to be and cut the hole in the =
foam. Then the first time I filled the cell, I filled it one gallon at a =
time and marked the dipstick. It=E2=80=99s worked great ever since. I =
also learned not to fill the cell full to the top because it would =
splash out of the overflow and corners got all excited that I was =
spilling gas. Filling it a gallon short got me through all races. For =
autocrossing (with the two pickups) 3 gallons worked fine.=20

I=E2=80=99m not a TR6 guy but I=E2=80=99d like the fuel pressure =

Brings me to my questions.   What size fuel lines =E2=80=93 =
5/16=E2=80=9D (-5) or 3/8=E2=80=9D (-6)?  Also, thoughts on 100% steel =
braided PTFE, or combination of metal fuel line (front to back) with =
braided to connect to the fuel cell and Webers?  Fuel pump, filter and =
pressure regulator will be in the trunk with the fuel cell.   Return =

nice summary.  I forgot to mention I don=E2=80=99t have a fuel return =
line.  Maybe that is pump-dependent - the Facet does not seem to have =
any issues running with limited flow if the float bowls are full.
On a 20-25 minute race, I use about 4 gallons of fuel.  I know there are =
peak flows, but I don=E2=80=99t think you need a pump with a lot of flow =
capacity.  The 25 gph/hour that I have seems more than enough. =20

Roundy-round guys usually only have one, in the right-rear corner, =

I had to take the top off, pull the foam out, figure out where the hole =

the cell, I filled it one gallon at a time and marked the dipstick. =
It=E2=80=99s worked great ever since. I also learned not to fill the =
cell full to the top because it would splash out of the overflow and =
corners got all excited that I was spilling gas. Filling it a gallon =

3 gallons worked fine.=20

Scott,

=20

Thanks for the additional points =E2=80=93 I also failed to include the =
Facet pump on the summary.  Agree, 25 gph pump flow does seem to be the =
top end target for multi-webers as well.

Hi Guys,

=20

last weekend was a race event at Lausitzring in East Germany.

The track layout does copy the American ovals with an infield.

The oval is not in use for racing after some serious crashes of race =
cars.

=20

I faced with the TR8 some problems on the half shafts.

The rear axle is a Mustang design and it seems the roller bearings with =
securing ring don=E2=80=99t stay in place on the halfshaft but slipping =
out until the caliper does stop this movement.

Unfortunatley the halfshaft gets disconnected to the LSD.

That made the engine rev up violently up=E2=80=A6to who =
knows=E2=80=A6..8k? Or more?

=20

I finished only race 2 but during the race the oil pressure dropped =
=E2=80=A6maybe because of this over revving incident earlier.

=20

Made class win with staring from behind and 5th overall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DIOUFbPj7FJ4

=20

Next on list=E2=80=A6.opening the engine.

=20

Cheers

Chris
