Surge Tank Enclosure

[phunky_monkey]

Hey guys, does anyone know who makes a similar box to this? I spoke with ASE and they no longer do them.

Cheers

is nice....

I'm not sure about in vic but there are a few perspex places in syd that can knock something up pretty easily. or you could consider the sard surge tanks which mount the pump inside the tank which is a good idea, and looks neat. plus being inside the tank surrounded by fuel it tends to quieten down the pump a bit.

edit: I seem to remember paul dirtgarage had a very nice perspex cover for his pumps and surge tank. pretty sure it's his set-up I'm picturing. had neat little holes with rubber grommets for the hoses to pass through.

Yeah, I think a custom one from a perspex manufacturer may be the go. I know there's on in Sunshine here in Vic, but I was just not sure when I'd get the time to go there to get it done. I should do it though as I need a second one made for something else.

The Sard setup is really nice, but I already have a surge tank, so I want to go with that. I just need to section it off from the cabin for CAMS approval.

I might shoot Paul a PM too, thanks Richard.

Yeah it was a Performance Metalcraft product...i think they no longer do them. The enclosure is required for all internal surge tanks that are not totally sealed from cabin to comply with ANDRA regulations. It prevents fuel from spraying around inside the car in the unfortunate circumstance of a hose or fitting failure or accident.

Looks the part too.

Yeah, I haven't been able to find any of the shelf ones as they obvisoult weren't popular enough. As my car is a 180SX I need it to seal off my fuel system from the cabin

Thanks for that Ryan, might contact them if I can't get it done here.

Let me know if you do and we might get two. They may do us a better price.

[phunky_monkey]

Shall do mate.

I'm speaking with Activ32 (Daniel) at the moment in regards to getting one made, so I'll keep you updated.

[N1GTR]

If you guys get one for a good price PM me and ill get one aswel - group buy anyone?

[gibbau]

I'd be keen for sure.

I was looking at removing the parcel shelf and associated bits to replace with a sealed firewall and bracing. This would be much better.

What sort of design are you looking at?

[phunky_monkey]

I'm coming up with a design at the moment Steve, and I'll work through it with Daniel. I basically want a rectangular unit that will fit into the spare wheel well, with a perspex removeable lid, like the one attached.

[N1GTR]

Sounds good, any rough price in mind?

Hey lads just in case if you need another fabi I could prob help out (not trying to cut your lunch Dan just offering). It looks like a simple bit of kit should be pretty easy to make let me know.

[BOZ22N]

Hey Dane let me know the final measurments and i will measure up the boat to seee if it will fit her to.

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks Chard, PM sent mate

Ryan: Shall do mate. I dare say it will, pretty sure the spares are the same size.

This is the space I want it to fit, just have to measure it:
