Default Anti fuel starvation drop-in tank plate.

Anybody get fuel starvation on left-hand corners or boosted under half a tank?
. I've designed a plate that easily drops inside the fuel tank covering the fuel bowl eliminating any fuel slosh which causes fuel starvation to your engine.
100% cheap fix. No need for expensive external loud pumps.
To find out more please join Boosted s2000 on FB search fuel plate.

The tabs are just bent round the fuel bowl it's roughly 300 by 200 mm 0.7mm aluminium.
It weighs absolutely nothing

Curious how you are measuring the effectiveness here. Do you datalog fuel pressure or is it simply the absence of starvation at a known corner?

Nice! A friend of mine fabricated one of these a couple years ago and it's still going strong. I'm going to be putting one in my car too when he cuts out some extras. Its a pretty genius solution for how cheap it is. Definitely worth opening up the fuel tank again.

So that is all it takes to stay there securely?
How much track time have you seen with it installed?

Im 22psi Gen 2 gtx3582r now with 0 fuel slosh issues.
The other 20 plates plus that have been sent round the world have all been successfully curing people's fuel starvation .
Would love to talk more on the boosted s2000 group FB regarding any issues you might have
