VaporWorx gives us the GAS!

 

On all modern cars it is common to be able to drive the car normally until the tank is almost completely empty. It is unacceptable to the OEM’s, and to the owners, to keep at least a ½-tank of fuel in the tank in order to have good fuel delivery under all driving conditions.

 

To solve this problem the OEM’s have integrated many of the technologies mentioned in the earlier sections, and added a few more to make them even better. To make it easier to understand, we will call the device that integrates these features a fuel module.

 

Modern fuel modules perform many of the functions that were traditionally handled with separate components. Fuel filtering, pumping, and pressure regulation can be done in the fuel module. The fuel module also has a built-in surge tank/reservoir, venturi pumps to keep the reservoir full, electrical bulkheads, fuel level sensor attachment options, and excellent sealing devices. Most fuel modules are also preloaded to the reservoir against the tank bottom using springs.

features:

 

1) An all-in-one fuel filter. No other filtering is needed before the fuel rail.

2) A single line output, deadhead type, that supplies regulated pressurized fuel.

3) A wiring plug/bulkhead connector that passes power and fuel level signals through to a sealed external plug.

4) The large white cylindrical-shaped part is the reservoir. When the pump is running this reservoir is normally overflowing with fuel, hence keeping the pump constantly submerged.

5) Twin venturi pumps are used to fill the reservoir and keep the pump supplied with fresh, cool fuel.

6) One of the venturi pump connections, the grey nipple on the bottom-left of the reservoir, can be used to connect remote pickups.

7) It’s an OEM validated design.

VaporWorx has performed extensive testing on this module. The pump output is very similar to a 255lph pump. It is quieter than a standard 255lph pump mounted traditionally in the tank, or in-line. Best of all, even under very low fuel loads the fuel pump is still working due to the reservoir. It has been shown that the module will reliably deliver fuel at very low tank levels even when used on autocross or road courses. When the corner pickup systems are used on-track testing has shown that fuel levels can fall to under one gallon and the module will still be effective. Even without the corner pickups module performance will not suffer on autocross courses with just one gallon in the tank.
