good question.....
you want to run a full tank to guarantee fuel is covering the suction line when accelerating, and the wieght helps traction!
as you get better let the fuel level drop to lose weight but remember dont suck air
find a happy medium

Curious as to whether most of you guys race w/ full tank or not? Everyone knows it's extra weight, but in this type racing where getting traction is keen are most folks "filling up"? Thanks |

I try not to run more than 5 gallons in the AAR. Sure it's weight in the rear, but it's too low to be used effectively. However, I think that was the issue I was having when we tried running the electric fuel pump(uncovering the sump, sucking air). |

Depends on the Track Condition- Track hooks 5 Gallons, Track Sucks up to a Full Tank. But most of the time 5 to 7 Gallons. |
