TR8 fuel tank
What is the difference between a TR8 EFI tank and carb tank. Is a TR7 EFI tank the same as a TR8 EFI?

Re: TR8 fuel tank
We put EFI in a TR7 and simply added a Bosch clone fuel pump below the tank where it can gravity feed.

Re: TR8 fuel tank
The TR8 EFI tank had a primitive swirl pot in it

Re: TR8 fuel tank
Yeah but does it need it? Drains out the bottom.

Re: TR8 fuel tank
Jim, My last rendition of mine sure needed one.
Ran out of fuel at right hand sweepers when it got below a qtr. tank |

Re: TR8 fuel tank
I suppose Dan might be interested in knowing that. OR, maybe it's just your warning to stop for gas!

Re: TR8 fuel tank
So the TR7 EFI tank does not have a swirl pot? Or do you know?
