Q: What are the benefits of using an EVIL ENERGY Aluminum Fuel Cell for racing?
A: Aluminum Fuel Cell provides a lightweight yet durable storage solution. Made from 1060-H24 aerospace-grade aluminum, this performance fuel system component reduces vehicle weight while ensuring high strength. It includes anti-slosh foam to prevent fuel starvation during high-G cornering, making it a reliable E85 compatible fuel tank for drift or drag racing.
Q: Is the included PTFE Fuel Line Kit compatible with E85 and Methanol?
A: Yes, the PTFE Fuel Line Kit is specifically engineered for wide chemical resistance. Unlike standard rubber, this performance fuel system hose handles E85, gasoline, ethanol, and methanol without degrading. It is a vital upgrade for any E85 compatible fuel tank setup to prevent fuel odors and line breakdown.
Q: Which capacity should I choose: a 5 gallon fuel cell with sender or a 20 gallon version?
A: Choosing between a 5 gallon fuel cell with sender and a 20 gallon model depends on your application. For short-course racing or drag strips, a compact Aluminum Fuel Cell saves weight. For endurance or off-road builds, the 20 gallon tank provides the necessary range. Both integrate into a complete performance fuel system seamlessly.
Q: How do I install the AN10 fuel cell fittings included in the kit?
A: The AN10 fuel cell fittings are designed for high-flow efficiency. When assembling your PTFE Fuel Line Kit, ensure the PTFE olive is seated correctly inside the fitting to create a leak-proof seal. These performance fuel system connectors provide the necessary volume for high-horsepower engines.
Q: Does the EVIL ENERGY fuel tank come with an anti-slosh foam fuel tank insert?
A: Yes, every EVIL ENERGY Aluminum Fuel Cell (from 5 to 20 gallons) features an anti-slosh foam fuel tank insert. This foam is critical for a performance fuel system as it stabilizes fuel movement, ensuring the fuel pickup remains submerged even during aggressive maneuvers.
Q: What fuel level sensor is used in this Aluminum Fuel Cell?
A: Each Aluminum Fuel Cell is equipped with a 3-90 Ohm fuel level sensor. This allows you to monitor your E85 compatible fuel tank levels using standard aftermarket gauges. It’s an essential feature for maintaining a reliable performance fuel system in custom vehicle builds.
Q: Can I use the PTFE Fuel Line Kit for oil or coolant transfer?
A: Absolutely. The PTFE Fuel Line Kit is not limited to fuel; it is also suitable for lubricants and coolants. Its high temperature resistance (-76℉ to 446℉) makes it a versatile part of your performance fuel system, especially when paired with an Aluminum Fuel Cell for integrated fluid management.
Q: Why is a PTFE line better than rubber for an E85 compatible fuel tank?
A: For an E85 compatible fuel tank, a PTFE Fuel Line Kit is superior because it is impermeable to fuel vapors. Traditional hoses often weep fuel smells, but this performance fuel system upgrade keeps your garage scent-free while resisting the corrosive nature of alcohol-based fuels in an Aluminum Fuel Cell.
Q: What is included in the EVIL ENERGY Performance Fuel System kit?
A: The kit provides an Aluminum Fuel Cell, a 20FT or 33FT PTFE Fuel Line Kit, and a variety of AN10 fuel cell fittings (Straight, 45°, 90°, 180°). It is a comprehensive solution for anyone building a high-output performance fuel system from scratch.
Q: Does the anti-slosh foam fuel tank insert require maintenance?
A: While the anti-slosh foam fuel tank insert is durable, it should be inspected periodically when using harsh race fuels. Ensuring the foam is intact within your Aluminum Fuel Cell guarantees that your performance fuel system continues to deliver steady fuel flow without debris clogging the AN10 fuel cell fittings.
