Default looking for interest

I make surge tanks for cars...I remember from when I had a TC that any decent right hand turn would starve the motor for fuel...even on a half tank or more...also hard acceleration would on near empty...

well my solution is a surge tank.....its a small tank(I make them from stainless) that your stock pump fills up...then you put an inline pump feeding from the bottom of the tank...the theory (and real world results) is that there will constantly 100% of the time be fuel on the inline pump...and will help boost fuel pressure slightly(or atleast keep it consistent)...it is really meant for heavy auto-xs or road course people but truth is that anyone who is starving for fuel uptop could use it because there will be better flow...

I'm not selling anything or marketing anything...as soon as I make one for the TC I will either sell the plans to a company or pay vendor fees...one or the other...

what I need from someone is measurements for wherever they think will be the best mounting point...once I GEt those I will make the tank and the kit will be pretty much plug and play and there will be no cutting of stock lines...best part is this would make running a return style fuel system 1000xs easier because you would return it to the surge tank which would have a fitting waiting for you...no modifying...

once again nothing is for sale here and I'm solely guaging interest this theory isn't new to the race world so won surprise me if a lot of people know about this already I just know I haven't seen one on a TC...and it would allow you to run down to near empty with no fuel starvation issues...

Ptuning already makes a fuel system with a swirl pot or a surge tank if you want to call it that.

I like it. Would make for an interesting return spot for fuel providing that returning fuel doesn't over fill the surge tank itself. I'm sure in theory it wouldn't but either way the only problem I could see with using this method of returning fuel is that you would have to block off the regulator port somehow which then adds complication to the mix. But either way hope to see a good design.
