I just got sick of bad run times, and i have a donor fuel tank. Just how am i supposed to go abouts doing this, i have found space where i can mount it, just need help on fuel pick up! i need like a y joint or sumthing, Any ideas pls! i will post pics once i get it done (truck=maximum st pro)
p.s. WIll i need to have an additional fuel line to the exhaust? dang sounds harder than i thought, but im gonna try!

This is actually much easier than it sounds. Run the pressure line from the exhaust to the pressure input fitting on the original tank (so leave it where it was). Take the fuel line loose at the carb. and put it into the pressure inlet fitting on your second tank. Take the output line from the second tank and go to the carb. There, now you have a complete pressurized system. If you use the Hayes 2oz tank, you can use a clunk weight inside the tank and your truck will idle forever without leaning out and dying when it lands upside down. [8D]

you may get a little lag from doing this though, but frosts idea would work.

oh sweet thanks guys! need to get busy! been driving it for 4 hrs tonight.

WOW...u can do that? Man, I'm not done with my last project, now I have a new one

i think im just gonna put one huge airplane tank in it instead. I saw one at my lhs and it would fit.Which is cooler? one huge tank (like 200cc) or two small ones (150cc i think)? (75&75)?

I think a dual tank system would look cooler.

alright

With car tanks, it takes about 10 seconds max to fill up. With airplane tanks, you need a fuel pump and that takes a long time to fill up. So the best thing would probably be to have a big big car tank, and then a small one or two ounce header type tank to keep it running when you flip. That way, you can fill up fast and not worry about filling the second tank.

Just re addressing this to all the new guys, as this is a great idea that has been long implimented in the helo community. I just picked up a used Jato 3.3 and it is my first truck and she is thirsty. This mod is not for the "keep it light" racer but more for the back yard and lunch hour guys that just want to get in a good long run with out having to refuel after a few minutes. I put a 4 OZ tank in my Jato and I get good,long runs now. The only real limit is the interior size of your body for the second tank. Listed above is the way to do it easily. A headertank also helps with foaming and bubbles in the lines. I also like the extra weight up front on the over-powered, 2 wheel drive, STs.
