Innovative Fuel System Solutions For G-Happy Drivers

Are you involved in drifting, road racing, or do you spend a day at the drags from time to time? If you do anything that puts substantial g-forces on your ride and sloshes the fuel around these modular surge tanks and integrated pump pre-filters from DeatschWerks may be a wise investment.

The tanks complement the in-line pumps the company has released in the past 12 months by creating a highly flexible fueling solution that can grow with the ever-increasing fuel demands of ongoing projects … and aren’t all projects ongoing?

Over the past year, these modular fuel systems have been proven on both the street and track through DeatschWerks’ extensive network of sponsored drivers in NMRA, Formula D, and Global Time Attack. Faruk Kugay, Pro 2 Formula Drift driver talks about the new DW 2.5L & 3.5L Surge Tanks.

Custom surge tanks are known entities in the racing industry for many years and serve the purposes of avoiding fuel starvation in high G corners and low fuel tank levels. The new DeatschWerks Modular Surge Tanks take all the functionality of traditional racing surge tanks and add compact packaging, decreased pump noise, and increased flexibility.

These improvements have been achieved by moving the pumps inside the surge tank, and allowing the use of single- or dual-pump configurations.

The 2.5 Modular is a 2.5-liter surge tank designed to house either one or two DW250iL’s. The 3.5 Modular is a 3.5-liter surge tank designed to house either one or two DW350iL’s. In addition, both systems include adapters to allow the use of the surge tank with no pump installed, which maximizes tank capacity and allows you to use whatever external fuel pump you like.

DeatschWerks is also incorporating new –AN pump pre-filters into the mix. This moves filtration functions inside the surge tank. The filters are rated at 100-micron and are made of stainless steel. They are E85 compatible which will be especially useful in big boost applications where ethanol is used exclusively or for those that like to switch between ethanol and conventional gasoline on a regular basis. The filters also feature -6AN and -8AN fittings and and are threaded to screw directly into the DW250iL and DW350iL inlets, making installation a snap.
