    Fuel Return Line on Bottom of Tank?

    I've always had all my return lines (for an FI system) on top of a tank - but curious if anyone has seen issues with adding it on the bottom? For a honda car I plan to use a spun aluminum tank and add a sump (pic below) - use one for supply and one for return, just never had a return on the...

    Old School Roundup 2026

    Would be cool if there was just a buggy round up car show in general - sectioned off by builders- prob be a bit harder to coordinate of course...but sure would be cool to have several hundred buggies of all generations in one event - new and old.

    Header builders in so cal

    Richard came to Alumicrafts shop when I was there to talk through the design for my car- cool guy...the price seemed fair and the quality is great. 3 years or so later (in 2024) I had them do exhaust on a c10 and it also came out great, price also seemed what I expected as well, not cheap, not...

    Fuel Tank Size / Fuel Consumption - Honda 3.5 N/A

    I get more than 5 or 6 with an ls3 - pretty sad that's what your pro r gets. 18 with the J35 was a hope but sounds like we will be getting more like 12 or so...it's my wife's car - i don't expect her to be on the pipe when driving it.

    Fuel Tank Size / Fuel Consumption - Honda 3.5 N/A

    Is a 8.5 gallon tank enough for a light 2 seat with a 3.5 N/A? Longest ride I could see taking in the car would be from Gordon's to the drags at Glamis and back. I'd imagine the car (which will prob weight 1400ish pounds) will get 18ish MPG on average? Ideally, I'd want a 12-gallon tank, but...
