Team Orion fuel systems

Team Orion fuel systems

Team Orion seem to have been thinking a lot about fuel lines and back pressure lines, what with the release of their constant pressure device (CPD) that we showed you yesterday and now this multiple line fuel tubing system. The system uses a t-shaped nipple to split the fuel from the tank and then a 2 ended fuel inlet nipple on the carburettor which together tries to ensure that the fuel makes it from the tank to the engine even when going through the fastest of bends. How legal this is i dont know, as the tech inspection at events usually measure the tank capacity along with the fuel line to the carburettor and with 2 lines it may pose a problem?

Orcan fuel and batteries

Orcan fuel and batteries

Not necessarily new products but the Orcan range of products have received a rather nice identity revamp. A while back we featured a rather nice motor cooler from Orcan, a brand belonging to SMI, the importers of Xray, Hudy and Novarossi in Germany. The Orcan fuel uses high quality components and has been developed over 10 years for competition use, winning many National and International championships, whilst the cells are matched 4200mAh suitable for serious racers. Expect to see air filters, glow plugs and oils for off road racing from Orcan in 2007.
