"Mammoth Tank Ready"
After making all the parts and having everything fit and welded and fit and welded some more by one of our welders, it looks like our new tank setup is ready. to go.
Nothing too much more to say just yet. Our welding team is mostly still plugging away on customer parts, but still pulled this off quite well considering how fancy I got with the little parts; baffles and plates and tangential inlets.
I don’t think most of what we put into this is necessary for the typical install. This is a bit over-the-top when the typical Verner user has been well served with the by-the-book tank as specified in the manual that works wonders. We’ve made a few tanks now and they seem to all work quite well
But between our compact size, low profile, specific layout of inlets on the original. and our specific FWF layout, the constraints we had to deal with on the existing tank, and all the rest, we had some problems that needed solving and I decided to start pulling out of the bag of tricks many a race-engine builder has gone to over the years to try and address them all in some way.
There are tricks yet, if we still find more issues, but, I have confidence we’ll see a notable improvement with this setup.
