hey guys,

didnt know exactly where to post this, so i figured id just throw it in the general section.

so basically, ive got a 1996 200sx (i know, i know...) that i took to the track the other day. went great save for a issues, the most annoying of which was a massive fuel surge issue when it got to a half tank and lower.

i recently threw out the standard pump in favour of an r33 gtr item, made sure the pick up was as low in the tank as i could get it, and made sure the pump was located in the tank properly.

so im thinking the surging issue might have a bit to do with the design of the tank itself.

so the only solution i can think of is a small surge tank, so basically what i need to know its whats the easiest/cheapest way to go about this?

what size tank will i need? will 500cc be enough? what type of tank?

i know i can use the gtr pump as a feeder for the surge tank, but will i need another pump after the surge tank? what pump should i use?

any help would be much appreciated.

It's possible the wiring (whether it's a weak ground, or can't supply the amps) isn't up to the task of powering the pump (when tank gets lower I think the pump has to work harder), a rewire might solve the problem.

If you do run a 2nd pump, the best pump to use inline with the surge tank is the probably Bosch 040.
