Gas movement

[altrego30]

Is there a material that I could stuff in my tank to baffel the movement of the gas, every now and then my engine suck air down the line after a turn and my engine bogs down for a moment.

I know you can buy fuel cell's with some sort of foam baffle but I have never seen it out side of a tank. If nobody here can help I would try a local race shop.

I have not heard of adding a baffle after the tank was built. Even if you had the stuff, I would imagine it would be difficult to get inside the tank correctly.

Why don't you add come additional fuel line or add a section that has larger size line in one part to act like a small reserve until you're done with your turn?

Are you using the Tecumseh Power Sport engine? In the photo it looks like my engine. I have about 2 feet of fuel line in my system and I never get any flat spots and I ride on the two side wheel around culdesacs and long curves which pull the fuel away from my line hookup and I have never had a problem.

The ideas of line as a reservoir are great...what about a fuel filter in line...or just a stupid thought...keep the tank level higher....I installed a little larger line and a transparent filter...good luck

The inline filter idea I like, as for a stupid thought of fuel level, As I get low on fuel, I guess its a warning Im getting low.

Does this only happen when you are getting low on fuel or is it possible that you are having some sort of carb problem.

you can buy fuel cell foam in blocks from speedwaymotors.com I would say one block trim'd into a round shape the size of the tank will work well. the foam can be pushed thru the fill opening... hope this helps....

note:most fuel cell foam has 4 to 5 yr. life span before it strarts to break down..

PLUS....With the fuel cell foam....when you crash-n-burn....you won't burn...at least in flames....

[ROADFIXER1]

fuel cell foam won't do much for the crash and burn thing when used in a
metal tank.... if you crush and break a metal tank the foam in the tank won't stop any leakage....dont what to miss lead anyone.:hot:

[RUBICON]

was not one of the attributes ....when a tank ruptured under impact that it reduced the rapid expulsion of the fuel that would engulf everything around the tank in flame...it limited the flow to a stream depending on size of the opening...??

I think I will look into an inline fuel filter.
