BRAND NEW SALDANA RACING PRODUCTS COMPLETE "HYPER 8" FUEL FORWARD MICRO-SPRINT FUEL TANK WITH BLADDER, BOTTOM-PICKUP (PART #OMS214-BL).
THIS IS A 14 GALLON TANK, BUT IT HAS THE 8 GALLON, HYPER 8 FUEL FORWARD BLADDER.
THIS TANK FITS HYPER CHASSIS AND OTHER SIMILAR MICRO-SPRINT CHASSIS. THIS FUEL FORWARD TANK IS DESIGNED TO GET THE FUEL WEIGHT RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT IT: FORWARD AND LOWER BY ABOUT 12%. FORWARD AND LOWER IS BETTER, IT KEEPS THE DIMINISHING WEIGHT OF FUEL CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE CAR, REDUCING THE POLAR MOMENT OF INERTIA. ALSO, AS FUEL SLOSHES AROUND BEHIND THE REAR AXLE, IT HAS A WHIPPING EFFECT ON THE CAR AS IT NEGOTIATES A TURN, MAKING THE CAR LOOSER. MOVING THE FUEL LOAD FRONT AND DOWN WILL TRANSLATE TO BETTER HANDLING OF A PROPERLY BALANCED CAR. IF THE CAR NEEDS A HIGHER CENTER OF GRAVITY TO INCREASE BITE, THE CAR OR THE DRIVER CAN BE RAISED. KEEPING THE FUEL LOAD DOWN AND FRONT WILL KEEP HANDLING CONSISTENT AS THE FUEL LOAD DECREASES AS THE RACE PROGRESSES. THE FUEL BLADDER OPTION OF THIS TANK TAKES THE DESIGN INTENT TO EXTREME. THE FLEXIBLE RUBBER INNER BLADDER DOES NOT OCCUPY THE BACK 8" OF THE TANK, INSTEAD IT IS FILLED WITH ENERGY ABSORBENT FOAM. THIS SERVES TWO PURPOSES, IT ADDS A SAFETY CRUSH ZONE, AND IT FORCES THE FUEL EVEN FURTHER FORWARD. THE BLADDER WILL HOLD A TOTAL OF 8 GALLONS. THE FLEXIBLE RUBBER BLADDER IS CONSTRUCTED FROM NYLON FABRIC IMPREGNATED WITH RUBBER AND THEN AUTOCLAVED.
