Classes D and E are well depleted at the moment we need the escorts and minis back

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Got up at 7am this morning with a not very nice feeling in my guts and a cold clammy feeling head went to the toilet several times (diahorrea) felt a little bit better so headed off to Lydden got part way there and started throwing upas I was driving along the M25!! Managed to get to the services at Clacket Lane and clean myself up and drunk a bottle of water which I then threw up again after being at the services for about 1/2 an hour I had another bout of diahorrea and being sick again still feeling clammy and dizzy I decided to call it a day and ended up driving slowy home I've been in bed for most of the day and have still got to unload the car off of the trailer.
I'm very disapointed because after the last meeting I was 7th overall in the championship and 2nd in class to Bill Richards who was only 3 points infront! (didn't expect to beat him but who knows)
Infact I am now so PISSED OFF I'm now thinking of stopping racing altogether and selling the car!

Get the guy to put a thin plate all the way across the bottom 1" above the base.. one 2" hole in the right in the middle and the pick up sits through the plate at some point .. in a corner the fuel cant come out the 2" hole so the pick up always has fuel

Thanks Gary,but he'd already modified it by the time I read this,it's the same guy that makes the tanks for the super silhouette (national hot rod)cars so hopefully it'll be ok,they use 4 gallon tanks btw.

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

A mate of mine had a similar problem with the foam in his tank, half of it fell apart and the other half glued itself to the inlet
maybe its a shelf life thing as his was a few years old?

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Thanks Stu,Ken my tank is mounted on the boot floor which is almost flat so a sumped tank would have to be mounted higher which I'd rather not do,the tank that I've got is a pro made one from a well known company so I was suprised to say the least at what I found when I opened it up! Hopefully it will now be sorted

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

I have just had a tank made by Brise and they create a small well in the centre of the bottom of the tank and the fuel is picked up from there. The idea being when the fuel get low the well will alway have fuel in it.

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

one of those should cure the problem!think the foam melting around the end would be the biggest issue! hope the whole thing gets sorted for you now
