The pump is the Quickstar 275 with filter and the supply is two -8 lines from the fuel cell to a MF Y and return line is -8 also. Line to the engine bay is -10 and the regulator is a Magnafuel MP 9633 rated at 4 to 12 psi. I had it dialed down to 5 psi at the time of my fire. The carb float was hard to set and gas flowed like a fountain out of the carb. I have an Air Gap manifold and it served as a reservoir for the spilled gas. The starter sparked it. Exciting.
EDIT: Regarding fire extinguishers in race cars, it is addressed in Section 9:3 of General. Extinguishers mounted in race cars must be a minimum of 2.5 lbs. and securely fastened. Flip open clamps are prohibited. I need a bigger extinguisher and an approved clamp.
