Welcome to the Forum
You will find a lot of help here.
With a fuel cell, I assume this is a track car.
Just purchased?
What are your intentions? What is your budget?
Many track cars have had series of mods over the years and sequence of owners.
Some ‘less-than-ideal’ mods
must be corrected and brought to current standards.
The fuel system is one.
This is the opportunity to have a
completely correct fuel system.
Please post some overall and detail images of your fuel system – every part.
How old is the fuel cell (it should have a manufacture date)?
Has the container ever been damaged?
Has it ever been back to the manufacturer for inspection of the bladder and replacement of the foam?
Is the existing cell and mounting suitable for your use?
This is a good starting point.
Dual fuel pumps (in parallel) may be useful for redundancy (if plumbed with isolating check-valves) but for amateur racing, generally unnecessary.
Most important is maintaining the system (and entire car) in ‘race-ready’ condition.
Important is attention to a properly designed and functioning fuel system.
You should have a
circulating fuel system where cool fuel flows past the carburetor inlets and the excess returns to the fuel cell.
There are a LOT of design and installation details to get this
right (including properly re-installing the fuel cell).
This thread may be a good place to combine all the available information.
Best,
