A new 53 litre, aluminium fuel tank with a built-in swirlpot and a pre-fitted HP pump
52 litre useable capacity.
The tank has been tested consistently down to less than 1 litre of fuel due to the sealed swirlpot and quick reaction trap system.
3 baffle, low pass system controls mass fuel movement and also increase tank rigidity.
Fuel level sender is mounted into the main tank section and not in the swirlpot, this allows for accurate fuel level readings at all times.
Pre-fitted Spitfire HP pump avoids having to sort the sender wiring and gives a complete plug and play solution only now the whole tank is plug and play!
Superb construction and welding as you would expect from us, the filler pipes for example are machined not swaged and tanks have been pressure tested for a minimum of a 48-hours
No foam, this allows for full Ethanol compatibility for both the tank and the pump.
Launch retail pricing is £994 which is the same as a typical 48 litre tank (44 useable).
Later pricing will reflect the higher capacity which is similar to a 60 litre tank (55 useable) as well as all the other benefits.
*For clarification, as have already been asked several times, none of the current KSR foams (the manufacturer) are compatible with Ethanol content fuels as mentioned on their website.

We have also carried out accelerated tests on type 2, 4 and 5 foams and have come to the same conclusion. Type 4 is the worst, with types 2 and 5 also disintegrating in Ethanol.
