The opening must be on the top face of the fuel cell (i.e. not a side face).\u003cbr\u003e3.

Inside the surge tank canister, up to 3 EFI fuel pumps can be used to feed high pressure fuel to the engine. As shown below, fuel cannot pass between the 3 independent filtration chambers (A, B, C). If less than 3 pumps are installed, the empty port does NOT need to blocked off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf the lift pump starves, the volume inside the surge tank canister will keep the surge tank pumps fed and the engine supplied with fuel. The return from the fuel pressure regulator is also routed to the surge tank canister to help keep it full.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 3 fill valves integrated to the bottom of the surge tank. These 1-way FKM fill valves are sealed shut unless the fuel level in the cell rises above the fuel level in the surge tank. If this happens, each fill valve opens and sends 355LPH of fuel (1065LPH total) into the surge tank until fuel level reaches an equilibrium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExcess fuel in the surge tank simply overflows back into the fuel cell.

It uses 7\/8\"-14 threads making it compatible with all 10AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with a common 10AN ORB to 8AN male adapter fitting. However, various 10AN ORB adapter fittings can be purchased separately.\u003cbr\u003eRETURN, 6AN MALE\u003cbr\u003eThe external \"RETURN\" port is used for low pressure fuel returning from the FPR. This port uses 3\/4\"-16 threads making it compatible with all 8AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with a common 8AN ORB to 6AN male adapter fitting. However, various 8AN ORB adapter fittings can be purchased separately.\u003cbr\u003eVENT, 8AN MALE\u003cbr\u003eThe \"VENT\" port is tapped with 1-1\/16\"-12 threads making it compatible with all 12AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with 20-0934 which uses a common 8AN male outlet fitting for standard fuel filling. However, 20-0535 can be purchased separately with a 12AN male fitting for quick fill dry break systems that require a high-flow vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSELECTING YOUR FCST-X\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe different FCST-X part numbers are based on the brand and quantity of fuel pumps. When determining a fuel pump configuration, select a combination that can support the engine output. The lift pump is always matched to be the same style pump(s) found inside the fuel surge tank, with exception to the 20-1993-00 brushless Ti Automotive E5LM variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA FCST-X that states \"pump included\" comes pre-assembled with new fuel pumps and filters installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor a FCST-X that states \"pumps not included\", fuel pumps must be sourced separately. A filter sock is only used for the lift pump as inlet filters are already supplied for the surge tank pumps. Also, there will be enough components included with this option to use up to 3 pumps in the surge tank. More fuel pump information can be found\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radium Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42749734813775,"sku":"RAD20-1990-02","price":1111.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/630f8957a594269c1fd8516f3b98dae5L_5c8b7a95-7126-4131-9849-6d9ffa606f04.jpg?v=1744062167","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/radium-engineering-fcst-x-2-surge-tank-pumps-and-1-lift-pump-included-walbro-gss342","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
