That's not its main functionality, but it does pull from its internal reservoir before it will suck air. The real benefit is that if any part of it is touching fuel, it will pull it in without sucking air from the exposed areas. I think this video shows it better than the first one:

Yeah, the foam is compatible with gas, ethanol, and methanol. I picked them up from Speedway Motors.

It's a problem with both the MS3 and MS6 - fuel starve under various conditions. If you have a high powered drag car, you'll suck the basket dry. If you have lots of lateral grip, you'll starve the basket if you're running low on fuel. Either way, fuel starve is a problem for many of us...

Yeah, I'd love to, and I mapped out a full SM build to see if it could be competitive. I think it could, but it's a ton of work and cost. It's above the spend:engineering ratio I want to be at LOL. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

What would I design if I got an exocet...I mean a true clean sheet design. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

I'm ready to move on, but it's not a next platform sort of thing. I want to experience a different challenge in designing my own car and aero from scratch in an unlimited class. The 6 is phenomenal, it's a riot to drive and it's extremely capable. I feel like I'm at a point where there's very...

That's the right one. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

1) nearly identical, but with a PTO. The transfer case input shaft splines directly to the diff case. 2) no, same area sharing fluid. The transfer case (not a diff) is a totally separate unit. 3) n/a 4) depends on how you drive it. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Wasn't planning on it for the engine. The rules severely limit the engine build stuff, so it's pretty boring. There's some other stuff that I'm planning that will be far more interesting. With a backup car, I should have a lot more time to work on the 6 and actually document stuff. The new...

Nah, but we did get a smaller car for it :) [The 6 is still here, just getting rebuilt a little differently after the latest engine failure.] Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

We just spent 8 nights in the hauler. 2 were in transit and 6 were on site. Everything performed really well. We have a few things to add for comfort, but it was soooooo nice to stay on site with ac AND be able to take hot showers. 2700 miles this trip! We picked up a 120V mini fridge, so...

Maiden voyage update. It's not 100%, but it's functioning. The aft freshwater tank has a bloating problem (lol). I'm going to add another horizontal brace before we secure the wall. Otherwise, the plumbing inside the trailer is all good! The instant hot water heater works well after...

Are the plugs wet or dry? Ballast on the frame horn plugged in? Not much to go on here. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Is it throwing any codes?

I heard your fenders need rolled. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

I'll help fix that. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

My first built engine went 90k miles. It probably should have been rebuilt at 70k, but that didn't happen. Ring end gaps are a big concern in an engine that will see sustained high temp operation. Even the stock 2.3 has tight ring end gaps from the factory. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

None of that stuff is hooked up in my car. Racecar lyfe. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk
