[Fot] Spitfire fuel cell size

[Rocky Entriken]

Eight gallons here. ATL cell.

I usually never fill it to the 8-gallon mark -- people get all excited when 
the overflow vent actually overflows a little (Geez, people, it'll evaporate 
before you can get the kitty litter). Lately I go out with 5-6 gallons for a 
race and come in with 2-3 depending on race length.

BTW, I got mine with dual pickups, one duckfoot in each back corner,  and 
run them to dual fuel pumps (twin Holley reds, which tee into one fuel line 
going forward and choked down to 2.5 psi at the regulator). Even with less 
than a gallon, I have fuel to the carbs.
