Assembly line covering the complete fuel system.
Groups the cell, filler neck, block-off plate, pump, regulator, rail, bracket and lines.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Fuel subsystem design process applies: 1. Set tank volume from endurance consumption plus margin, with the HydraMat area and the tank CG as constraints. CR26: 1.4 gal cell, 1.56 gal effective system. 2. Design the sump to the acceleration cases: 1.42 g at 45 deg from vertical under acceleration against a rear wall 30 deg from vertical, and 2.51 g at 66.5 deg from vertical under braking against a vertical front wall. 3. Lay up the sump: 1 layer of Kevlar over 5 layers of stitched carbon twill on HIPS dissolvable molds, bonded with 3M DP420, sealed with Caswell epoxy gas tank sealer. 4. Design the top plate: -4 AN weld bungs instead of fittings, stud bulkhead terminals so no fuel path runs through wire, an aluminium terminal block for proper bulkhead seating. 5. Leak test the assembled system before it goes in the car.
