You need 2 fuel tanks?
I would use a 'Y' fitting instead of the 'T' fitting. On the filter, is it after the pump or before?

The original tank was just over three gallons. We will redo the tank problem this winter. There is a "pill" in the fitting in the small tank to make sure both tanks empty at exactly the same time. Filter is after the pump

Each run uses about 2 1/2 gallons, any delays at the line and I will run out of fuel, or worse run lean down the track

I have a 3 gal fuel cell and I can make a 1/4 mile pass and drive it back to my pit spot.

Dragster Update 09 06 2018
First off, Steve thanks for your help once again. In this video, we install a converter to step down the voltage out of the 16 volt Turbo Start battery to 12 volts. This was done to run the filament bulbs on 12 volts so they would not be very bright and hot. This allowed us to remove the small trailer break away battery we were using and install a fuel primer pump in that location. We also started the engine for the first time after the latest rebuild. Set the timing on the mag and the crank pickup. Once the engine was hot we were able to set the valve lash (this is an aluminum block and also has aluminum heads). Another mystery was discovered, which we do not have a clear answer to. Your input on that mystery is welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfDR...BEt8iqd4rYh7MQ

When i lash my valves I do it with the engine cold also I remove the spark plugs to make it easier to turn the engine with a breaker bar. How much timing are you running and what kind of boost are you at during the run?

Oh no!!!!!!
We all have changes in life's directions. I'm sad to see you sell after all the work and money that you've sunk into it. $40k is an absolute steal. Eric
