BACKGROUND
Since 2010, external Radium Engineering fuel surge tanks have been an excellent way to eliminate fuel starvation that occurs in racing. 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 . 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).

FCST-X FEATURES

LEGACY FCST FEATURES
The features listed below carry over from previous fuel cell surge tanks.
-Merged single 10AN ORB female threaded outlet. All pumps use check valves that prevent back-flow.
-One-way fill valves (355LPH each) allows fuel in, but not out, keeping the surge tank full.
-Multiple fuel pump options including gerotor, turbine, and brushless DC motor pumps.
-Hermetically sealed high-current stainless steel electrical studs capable of handling all pumps.
-Simplified servicing eliminates sealing washers and fuel cell retaining brackets.
-Full CNC aluminum construction with anodized surfacing for superior corrosion resistance.
-Fuel compatibility: leaded and unleaded gasoline, methanol, ethanol, E85, etc.
-Optional fuel surge tank level switch and diagnostic LED failsafe port.
-Rollover vent valve protection

-Integrated lift handle for fuel pump servicing
-Lightweight surge tank increased from 2.2L to 2.6L
-Compatible with up to 4 brushless fuel pumps
-Up to 4 Bosch BR540 fuel pumps (DW400) 
-Up to 3 Ti Automotive E5LM brushless pumps
-Up to 4 brushless Bosch pumps (DW440)
-Compatible with 16AN inlet mechanical pumps
-Easily swappable pump modules (sold separately)
-Compatible with shrouded level sensors

*This pump requires a brushless controller. These typically come standard when purchasing the pump. See .
**For these pumps, it is recommended to use the  filter sock.

FUEL LEVEL SENDER
The FCST-X comes standard with a fuel level sender block-off plate. However, SAE fuel level sensors of various lengths can be purchased separately .

FUEL LEVEL SWITCH / DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR
The FCST-X comes standard with a 2AN ORB plug preinstalled in the "level switch" port. For information on adding a fuel level switch and diagnostic indicator, click . This little device provides a warning when the fuel level inside surge tank canister drops by 20% or more.
