Fuel Cell Collector: Optimizing Flow & Pressure

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on optimizing the flow and pressure in a fuel system for an endurance sports car. The setup includes a sealed 0.6-gallon collector with three 75gph pumps operating at 95psi, using 3/8" hose. The main concern is determining the appropriate diameter for a 10-inch tubing piece exiting the collector to avoid back pressure affecting the feed lines. The original poster seeks advice on this specific issue and is open to rephrasing their query for better engagement. Effective solutions will enhance the overall performance of the fuel system.

Hi,

I haven't posted anything on here in a long time, but thought somebody here could help me out.

I am building a fuel system for an endurance sports car. I have a sealed 0.6 gallon collector in the fuel cell with three 75gph pumps, capable of 95psi feeding it, through 3/8" hose. It then has a 10" length piece of tubing exiting the collector to the primary collector. I need to figure out what diameter the 10'' piece of tubing needs to be to prevent any back pressure to the other feed lines.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
