Description
The Radium Engineering FCST-X Fuel Cell Surge Tank (20-1990-01) is a next-generation integrated fuel delivery system designed to eliminate fuel starvation in high-performance street, track, and motorsports applications. Engineered for extreme driving conditions, the FCST-X combines a lift pump and surge tank into a single compact assembly, simplifying fuel system plumbing while maintaining consistent fuel pressure during aggressive acceleration, cornering, braking, and drifting.
This configuration includes Walbro GSS342 fuel pumps, a trusted and race-proven solution known for reliable high-flow fuel delivery in EFI and high-horsepower applications.
The FCST-X (Fuel Cell Surge Tank – 10 Year Evolution) represents Radium Engineering’s most advanced surge tank design to date, featuring increased surge capacity, improved fluid control, enhanced rollover protection, and faster service access.
Constructed from precision CNC-machined aluminum with anodized corrosion-resistant finishes, the FCST-X is built for reliability in demanding motorsports environments.
Features:
Integrated Fuel Surge System
- Combines lift pump and surge tank into one compact assembly
- Eliminates the need for external surge tank plumbing
- Designed to prevent fuel starvation during aggressive driving and racing conditions
High-Performance Fuel Delivery
- Includes Walbro GSS342 fuel pump(s)
- Supports EFI and high-horsepower fuel systems
- Maintains consistent fuel pressure under load
Advanced Fuel Management
- Internal surge tank with independent filtration chambers
- Supports up to three internal fuel pumps
- Maintains fuel supply even if the lift pump becomes temporarily uncovered
Intelligent Fill System
- Integrated one-way FKM fill valves
- Automatically maintains surge tank fuel levels
- Supports up to 1065 LPH total flow capacity
FCST-X Improvements
- Increased 2.6L surge capacity
- Faster service access with 9-bolt design
- Integrated service handle
- Improved internal fluid control
- Enhanced rollover safety protection
- Compatible with modern high-flow and brushless fuel pump options
How the FCST-X Works:
- Lift pump draws fuel from the bottom of the fuel cell
- Fuel is transferred into the internal surge tank
- High-pressure pumps deliver fuel to the engine
- Return fuel is routed back into the surge tank
- Excess fuel safely overflows back into the fuel cell
This system ensures uninterrupted fuel delivery in high G-force racing environments where traditional fuel pickups may become uncovered.
