At least the late tank cars will not starve until the very end - they have a great fuel pick up.


What would you consider a late tank?

Does that mean I have the 21 gallon tank?

Yes,

BTW... Eric's info matches up with both my street car information and larry 1 gal for 10 minute stuff.


Assume 30 min race = 3 gallons.

Eric comes to grid with light just turning on = 3 gallons left and then sputters on the white flag lap.

BTW... I have run my steel tank car out of gas and it also has a good pickup. Once it first stumbled I got 3 more miles before ir was bone dry and would not even idle. I can usally make 20 mintues with my light on, but I think the reserve in the steel tanks is less than 3 gallons.

Well then, that is about 100lbs. of my 170lb. overweight problem. I weigh in @ 2,770 with 21 gallons of fuel.
