Photos for Fuel Cell and Cockpit

From left to right----Fuel Pump (Mallory 700hp rated), fuel filter (Trickflow rebuildable), feed line, return line, vent line.  All hose is Earl's Prolite 350 with Earls swivel tite fittings.

Yes, I know the computer is held on with a spring clip...I have to fabricate a proper mount.  :)

Fuel System plumbed and working

This weekend I plumbed the fuel cell and installed the fuel filter and pump.  For now I wired the fuel pump to the existing external fuel pump circuit and it seems to be working...kinda.  It sounds like the fuel pump cuts out every now and then, but I can't confirm it.  I think one of the issues is fuel starvation under acceleration from a stop.  I only have 4 gallons of fuel in the 12 gallon cell, and I think I'm having pickup issues when I start from a dead stop.  I'm going to put some more fuel in and see if that helps.  After my track day I'll have to look into fab'ing a small collection tank or swirl pot to reduce the starvation issue.

The glass was also installed last week, I used a mobile service and they sent a guy who looked like he was straight out of a porn.  He was wearing a blue jumpsuit that he apparently gave up on buttoning after his belly button, no doubt to allow his massive growth of chest hair to blow about freely in the breeze.  I tired to get a photo but I didn't want him to get excited at the site of a camera and try to hit on me or something.  Anyway, the glass was installed nicely and I'm one step closer to being kinda street legal.

I'll post photos later, I keep forgetting to bring my camera home from the studio.
