Well understood DaleSpam. I have already received data from the manufacture of the tank that they are regulary tested to 600 PSI burst pressure. At 150 psi that a safety factor of 4. In addition I have filled the tank remotely many times using 120 PSI compressed air with water in the bottle and...
The pressurized container is used to store some gasoline just used before starting the engine. I'm pressurizing the bottle so I do not have to use a fuel pump. The tank remains under pressure for the next time I need to start the engine in cold weather. Usually once the motor is started and...
Thanks for your input. The bottle is aluminum mounted to the steel frame of a dragster. The top of the bottle is nickel plated brass and all of the hoses are high pressure (3000 psi) steel braided teflon lined hose. 3/16 ID. The solenoid is brass and rated for gasoline. It operates using 12 vdc...
Actually this is far from a toy car! Our cars operate on Methanol and during the start and end of the season when outside tenmperatures are 50 F and below the engines have difficulty starting. The standard practice is to squirt some gasoline down the carb (Not fuel injected). Instead of pouring...
Thanks. The o-rings and valve that I'm using are made of Viton so gasoline will be fine. The air supply will be pre-presurized air from a compressor air hose. Would it be helpful to limit the air fill fitting by using a small hole to slow the filing time of the cylinder?
Guys, I need some help. I've designed a container that I plan to use for a starting system that uses gasoline. I'm storing the gas in a sealed container and plan to pressurize the container with compressed air from a compressor. The container is rated for 600 psi and I plan to use a shop air...
