Radium fuel surge tank (FST) is designed to prevent fuel starvation on vehicles with inadequate fuel tank baffling. Fuel is supplied to the surge tank by a lift pump, which in most cases is the OEM in-tank fuel pump. The volume of fuel inside the surge tank acts as a buffer to always keep the FST pump(s) supplied with fuel, even if the lift pump starves momentarily.
This volume is maintained by the lift pump as well as the fuel returning from the built-in fuel pressure regulator. Excess fuel in the surge tank is returned back to the vehicle's main fuel tank. The surge tank also provides a quick and easy way to upgrade any standard fuel system without opening the stock fuel tank. This is an excellent fueling solution for vehicles installing large demand power upgrades such as forced induction.
The Radium Engineering MPFST-R is the perfect solution for simplifying a high power vehicle experiencing fuel starvation during aggressive driving. When compared to a typical surge tank, there is one less port fitting. Instead, the built-in regulator returns low pressure fuel directly into the surge tank negating the need for an external FPR return line
The MPFST-R will accept 1, 2, or 3 fuel pumps. Refer to the pump compatibility section of each individual unit below to see a list of compatible pumps for each.
