[urq] UrQ Fuel delivery fix challenge

[Ben Swann]

Nice - massive overkill.  Would definitely prevent cavitation and certainly deliver
enough fuel.  It does kind of fall out of the desired  price range and fitment criteria.

Keep in mind two things:

1. problem is really the bottleneck of the small tube coming out of the fuel tank.  This
is where the fuel capacitor works despite simplicity.  It sits directly under the fuel
outlet and acts as a "buffer" or "capacitor" holding enough extra fuel so there is no
problem with cavitation.  Also the return line is teed in keeping pressure balanced.

2.  Where ya gonna fit this contraption.  I mean that nicely as it is a good piece of
work.  I wanted to keep my car as close to looking stock, retaining full trunk capacity
and nothing out of the ordinary showing.  This setup would be great for racing and for
someone who just wants to add a fuel cell and mount in a low spot in the trunk and
doesn't care about where to put the luggage.

The best solution - even better than my "fuel capacitor"  would be an in tank pump.
Some day I may remove the tank and weld in a new bottom - carefully pumping nitrogen or
other inert gas into a tank that has been washed of fuel.

There's a guy in I think Finland that's making these;

Sort of sounds like the dual pump and container.
Looks like it could fit into a UrQ spare tire well, or anywhere else someone would like
to put it...he wants $1400 for one all plug and play!
Sort of expensive, but I'm going to guess this is pretty much what everyone is talking
about??
