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 need to open my tank and see how much fuel is left... I haven't touched it in awhile. I agree with you on the underhood temps... My standalone gets too hot to touch after the car running awhile.

 

Does dynamat work as a heat insulator?

 

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?

 

sits in my garage unless im out or at work. and i live in fla.

 

No, where is your standalone fuel cell sit at in your car.

 

engine bay where the fuse boxes were.

 

mine sits inbetween the fuse block and the radiator.

 

same place.

 

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.

 

I have never seen or heard of anyone having this problem before.. Thats weird... I never had this problem on my car..
