I like the fuel level switch! Where do you get such things, or is that V-dub specific? I'd like to impliment that into my projects as well.

Great job on everything else, so far, too!

bit of an update

Had a good few days on the car, made a thing i call it a black tank with a pump on the end. As i dont have a swirl pot i need to make sure i have fuel presure all the time as i dont want any melted heads or pistons lol basically the fuel system has two returns one from the low low presure and one from the high.

The low presure pump under the tank (front) supplys the fuel to the tank (back) and returns whats not used keeping a constant presure of 1 bar to the high presure pump that supplies the engine fuel rail and then returns to the tank down the third line so fingers crossed it should never let me have low fuel presure fingers crossed and gives the fuel time to cool a bit more than just taking straight from the tank

bit better under here now

that's awesome. Kind of reminds me of the batmobile with that wing - if it were a VW!
