I have a dual fuel system and LOVE it. It was very costly becuase I have two complete fuel systems from the fuel lines back (meaning, one -10 feed, one -6 return, one rail, and one set of injectors, but two pumps, two tanks, two filters, etc). The race system has a Metco spare tire cell, Weldon pre filter, and a Weldon 2015 pump. The street sytem consists of a double-pumper in the stock tank. I have to manually switch from one system to another which is done by opening the trunk, flipping one switch (to pick which pump to run), closing one shutoff valve and opening another. I chose to do it this way because my $11k motor and countless R&D hours is worth a heck of a lot more than 30 seconds of my time. The automatic systems were not reliable enough for me (a failing hobbs switch turning off the race fuel would knock the rods out of my 9 sec 109 instantly) and I did not want a dual rail setup. My setup was still expensive but has a quick ROI in my case because I mostly street race and drive to/from all races, and I like to cruise it a lot. No more wasting c or q16, flushing the 93 out of the tank to get as much pure race gas as possible, fiddling with two fuel jugs and all that crap that really pissed me off. Its probably my favorite thing on my car. It basically works like this:
Here is the feed side. Ill start with the pump gas system. Fuel pumps from the double pumper through a -10 one way Aeromotive check valve ($70/ea!) then goes to one port on a y fitting. The race fuel side works the same way, connecting to another port on the y fitting. Then all fuel tavels down one -10 feed through another filter mounted above the rear end (I think it's an Aeromotive filter, I'll have to check), then down to the rail. Pretty simple, right?
The return side: Start at the FPR outlet. All return fuel travels down one -6 line into the trunk and hits a -6 Y fitting. One port goes to a -6 fuel shut off valve, then to the stock tank's return port. The other y port also goes to a -6 fuel shut off valve, but to the Metco cell's return port. Pretty simple too, right?
So here's the drill:
- Turn off car
- Pop trunk
- If currently on 93, flip rocker switch to race pump
- Start car (to flush 93 out of lines with c16)
- After a few seconds, open race gas return shut off valve (so race fuel starts returning to cell)
- Shut pump gas return shut off valve.
- You are now in race fuel mode and it took just 30 seconds
If you need to switch back the order is a bit different to prevent 93 from entering the cell:
- Turn off car
- Pop trunk
- If currently on c16, open pump gas return shut off valve and close race gas return valve
- Flip rocker switch to pump gas
- You are now in pump fuel mode
I'll see if I can find my parts list and diagram and post em here. Oh and before anyone asks, I have two different tuneups (one for pump fuel and one for race) so I usually keep the race tuneup in and just stay under 0psi when going to a street race. If I know I'll just be cruising for the day I'll put the street tuneup in so I dont have to be so careful. I wish the BS3 had multiple tuneups on a switch like the XFI does so I wouldn't have to do this.
