Insulating a stand alone fuel cell
Insulating a stand alone fuel cell Guys, I have a Nitro Dave's fuse block location fuel cell. On a day of cruising, no spray at all, and a night of racing the tank will pretty much be dried up. I will make 6 2-4th gear passes during the night. When I went to the track, I made 6 passes and it only drained 1/2 the tank. have you guys ever had a problem with race gas actually vaporising from the heat of underhood temps?
I was thinking of lining the outside of the tank with some insulation like what is on the fuel lines coming into the engine bay.

i dynoed my car over a month ago and filled my tank up 3/4 then. since then i have been thru 3 bottles on a 200 shot and its barely below half. my cell holds 1.5 gallons and i drive it atleast 3-4 days a week and it will sit outside that whole day til i get home again.
Where does yours sit?

Mine got hot, too. I cut up some Thermotec heat blanket sized to fit each side. Then glued it on with Permatex Ultra-copper silicone. Made a huge difference. I used a cooking thermometer prior to the Thermotec and the fuel was in the 280 degree range after driving for awhile. After the Thermotec, driving the same distance, the fuel was 180.
