To simplify plumbing and packaging, Radium Engineering introduced the first to market Fuel Cell Surge Tank (FCST) in 2013. The current generation of the FCST is still a great cost efficient solution and are found HERE. 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  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPATIBLE WITH MY FUEL CELL?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo install a Radium Engineering FCST-X into a fuel cell, the following criteria must be met:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003col\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eThe fuel cell must have the industry standard 6\"x10\", 24-bolt flange opening.\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eThe opening must be on the top face of the fuel cell (i.e. not a side face).\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eThe cell depth must be at least 7.7\" (196mm) measured from the outer top face to the internal bottom face.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW IT WORKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \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. If 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\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  \u003cp\u003eExcess fuel in the surge tank simply overflows back into the fuel cell.
