Fuel Slosh

[AJM]

Anybody else experince this?

I think it's causing my car to run lean as i'm rather crazy around corners...and I know it's slowshing just by the guage.

As far as I understand it, fuel tanks that come on EFI cars have baffles and sumps to prevent loss of fuel to the pump. If you were having problems with fuel slosh your car would stall shortly after a hard corner when your tank is low on fuel.

I take my corners at a very good rate of speed (90* right hander at 35) and I don't experience slosh. You're probably just experiencing a lack of power because it's the ej22.

No, It's slosh. I'm sure, because wile you're going 35 i'm going 50+ :grin:

Yes, It is after hard cornering and mid or less tank.

Keep the tank full.

Keep the tank full.


That's what i'm going to do for now. Eventually I plan on a better pickup perhaps, or if I evetually go with a turbo a secondary tank.

I pulled my pluggs yeterday to find 'em lean. Yikes.

Dry sump conversion maybe?

i'd do a small pump in a surge tank, of a very specific design, including several check balls and a large vent hole at the top of it. We whipped a few of those up for a race at Watkins Glen, and our cars were going a tid-bit faster through there. A Dodge SRT-4 running 2:04 laps on the long course!
