Because the lift pump height needs to be set to match the cell, these lift pump is left loose in the packaging. If the FCST-X is assembled into a fuel cell by Radium, the lift pump will be pre-installed as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe -01 will contain 1 surge tank pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe -02 will contain 2 surge tank pumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe -03 will contain 3 surge tank pumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdering a fuel cell complete with FCST-X, filler, vent and level sender can be complex and requires several parts to be ordered.

To simplify plumbing and packaging, Radium Engineering introduced the first to market Fuel Cell Surge Tank (FCST) in 2013. This FCST quickly became the preferred fuel system for the competition vehicle market and professional racing. After 10 years of kaizen, the transformation brings the release of the FCST-X (Fuel Cell Surge Tank-10 Years).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHOW IT WORKS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lift pump scavenges fuel from the bottom of the fuel cell and pumps it into the 2L surge tank. Inside the surge tank canister, up to 3 EFI fuel pumps can be used to feed high pressure fuel to the engine. As shown below, fuel cannot pass between the 3 independent filtration chambers (A, B, C). If less than 3 pumps are installed, the empty port does NOT need to blocked off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the lift pump starves, the volume inside the surge tank canister will keep the surge tank pumps fed and the engine supplied with fuel. The return from the fuel pressure regulator is also routed to the surge tank canister to help keep it full.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 3 fill valves integrated to the bottom of the surge tank. These 1-way FKM fill valves are sealed shut unless the fuel level in the cell rises above the fuel level in the surge tank. If this happens, each fill valve opens and sends 355LPH of fuel (1065LPH total) into the surge tank until fuel level reaches an equilibrium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcess fuel in the surge tank simply overflows back into the fuel cell. This dynamic sequence is all done inside the safety of a fuel cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePORTS AND FITTINGS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUMP OUT, 8AN MALE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe fuel pump outlet port is signified by the \"PUMP OUT\" engraving. It uses 7\/8\"-14 threads making it compatible with all 10AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with a common 10AN ORB to 8AN male adapter fitting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRETURN, 6AN MALE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe external \"RETURN\" port is used for low pressure fuel returning from the FPR. This port uses 3\/4\"-16 threads making it compatible with all 8AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with a common 8AN ORB to 6AN male adapter fitting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVENT, 8AN MALE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe \"VENT\" port is tapped with 1-1\/16\"-12 threads making it compatible with all 12AN ORB fittings. The FCST-X comes standard with 20-0934 which uses a common 8AN male outlet fitting for standard fuel filling. However, 20-0535 can be purchased separately with a 12AN male fitting for quick fill dry break systems that require a high-flow vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSELECTING YOUR FCST-X\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe different FCST-X part numbers are based on the brand\/part of pumps that fit, and quantity of fuel pumps. When determining a fuel pump configuration, select a combination that can support the engine output. The lift pump is always matched to be the same style pump(s) found inside the fuel surge tank, with exception to the 20-1993-00 brushless Ti Automotive E5LM variation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA FCST-X that states pump included comes pre-assembled with new fuel pumps and filters installed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a FCST-X that states pumps not included, fuel pumps must be sourced separately. A filter sock is only used for the lift pump as inlet filters are already supplied for the surge tank pumps. Also, there will be enough components included with this option to use up to 3 pumps in the surge tank. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FCST-X is compatible with all Radium Engineering fuel cells.
