He put 2 inch radiator hose in there for a fuel line. The rule was for fuel cell capacity but no rule for the fuel line size.<br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">When I ran SCCA nationals at Road America in the 70's I had a 6 gallon cell, the races were 15 laps plus parade lap and cool off lap (68 total miles). I was getting 10 miles/gallon and never ran out of fuel. How you ask... Saturday night we drained the cell, drank all the beer and put the gas cans in the cooler. Fueled the car and pushed it to grid Sunday morning. Before we would get to the grid the fuel cell was pissing out the overflow from the fuel expanding in less than 5 minutes.<br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Ron Krantz<br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">ReK Racing #77<br></p><blockquote type="cite">On September 26, 2019 at 6:16 PM Joe Alexander via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote: <br> <br>Smokey Yunick <br> <br><div id="ox-17f25b2a50-AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Joe Alexander<div>4505 Donald Dr</div><div>Cedar Falls, IA 50613</div><div><a href="http://The-vintage-racer.com">The-vintage-racer.com</a><br></div><div><a href="http://Gasketinnovations.com">Gasketinnovations.com</a><br></div><div>Cell: 319.464.4711</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Sep 26, 2019, at 5:12 PM, Jerry Van Vlack via Fot < <a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote: <br> <br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Calibri'; color: #000000;"><div>Do what one of the Nascar guys did and plumb some extra fuel into your frame.</div><div style="font-size: small; text-decoration: none; font-family: 'Calibri'; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; font-style: normal; display: inline;"><div style="font: 10pt tahoma;"><div> </div><div style="background: #f5f5f5;"><div style="font-color: black;"><strong>From:</strong> <a>Barr, Scott via Fot</a><br></div><div><strong>Sent:</strong> Thursday, September 26, 2019 5:51 PM</div><div><strong>To:</strong> <a>fot@autox.team.net</a><br></div><div><strong>Subject:</strong> [Fot] Cold Fuel</div></div></div><div> </div></div><div style="font-size: small; text-decoration: none; font-family: 'Calibri'; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; font-style: normal; display: inline;"><div class="ox-17f25b2a50-WordSection1"><p class="ox-17f25b2a50-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; color: black;">So, how cold does the fuel have to be in order to have any significant affect on volume? I need to make 7.2 gallons of fuel go 75 minutes at Road America this weekend, where I typically burn a bit more than 1 gallon every 10 minutes. I could soft-pedal it to save some fuel, but there is some quick competition out there. </span></p><p class="ox-17f25b2a50-MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ox-17f25b2a50-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; color: black;">Scott (B.) </span></p></div><p> <br></p><hr>_______________________________________________ <br> <a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.fot-racing.com">http://www.fot-racing.com</a> <br> <br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a> <br>Archive: <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot">http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot</a> <br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/jerryvv@roadrunner.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/jerryvv@roadrunner.com</a> <br> <br> <br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">_______________________________________________<br> <a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.fot-racing.com">http://www.fot-racing.com</a> <br> <br> Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a> <br> Archive: <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot">http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot</a> <br> Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/joealexandervintage@gmail.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/joealexandervintage@gmail.com</a> <br> <br> <br></div></blockquote></blockquote><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;" class="default-style"><br> </p><blockquote type="cite">_______________________________________________ <br>fot@autox.team.net <br> <br>http://www.fot-racing.com <br> <br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html <br>Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot <br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/rkrantz77@comcast.net <br> <br> <br></blockquote><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;" class="default-style"><br> </p></body></html>
