Default low/high boost fuel cell idea...

thought i'd post this in this section too, since its specific to a boosted setup. plus there's more traffic in the FI secion as well.




i dont even know if this is possible, but say you had 2 fuel cells, or even 1 15 gallon fuel cell, divided into 2 sections.

is it possible to rig a setup, to where at a flip of a switch, one fuel pump turns off and the other one turns on.

almost like have 2 complete stand alone fuel systems on a car?

you could have them both feed into a y connection for the feed line. then one turns off and the other turns on.

my thoughts for this is for a boosted application. in 1 tank you can have 93 oct. then flip the switch, the other pump would turn on and in that tank there could be 104octane. then you'd be able to turn the boost up.

then you'd never have to the excuse of , I'm only on pump gas.

any thoughts? is this even feasible?

Can also be run with megasquirt, but it usualy consists of two complete seperate fuel systems. With 16 injectors, phasing in the higher octane fuel when the boost level needs it.
