On the last offroad trip my new e85 fuel pump failed. After keeping an eye on my fuel cell temperatures I realized it was getting rather warm to the touch after some hard rips. My turbo is located directly behind my mirage 3a92 and also the fuel cell. Even after wrapping my exhaust with a titanium heat wrap I was still getting higher than normal fuel cell temps (maybe 130-140F). So today I'm showing you how I built a DIY heat shield to protect my e85 fuel cell from any turbo or exhaust heat. The great thing about this DIY heat shield method is it can easily be formed for your applications and only requires minimal cost and is rather simple. If done correctly this exhaust heat shielding is capable of stopping 90% of heat transfer. Exhaust heat shield is of course not the only application, this can be used as firewall heat shield etc. I recommend you use aluminum to make your heat shield from because its low cost, abundant and performs significantly better than other type of materials like steel.

The stickers are showing actual temp. So with thermo cameras the shiny aluminum is reflective and makes the camera in acurate. The best way to read shyny objects is put some non reflective tape on it or just use a temp probe instead

That was my suspicion, thanks for the clarity it deff makes sense!

@@DirtGearTvsome IR guns allow you to enter the emissivity of the material, which would allow you to compensate for the shiny aluminum.

You could also add some aluminum fins to the sides so the air passing takes some heat out of the tank. I imagine the fuel pump you are using is a proformancecpump to keep pressure under boost if so its putting alot of heat in the tank aswell. With those kind of pumps fuel volume is your friend so running on 1/4 tank or less will get the pump running hot and cause failure. If its a stock style pump they dont create nearly as much heat. I line that you used to coragated aluminum as even if its touching in places it will alway maintain air gaps so it will minimize heat transfer to small contact patches. Great idea.

Good thinkin’!!!!👍🏼

Also keep in mind if radiational and solar heating on surface of fuel tank and lines exposed to the sun.

What make model and specs are those shocks. I'm thinking about ditching the coulovers also. Mine look basically the same. Also I picked up a Suzuki 1.3 4cy motor and trans and a turbo kit I'm now building for a swap. Hope to ride with you guys again sometime. 😮

These are the fox air shocks, very light weight! My rears I believe are the 2" so they are almost maxed out on psi, my only regret is not using the larger 2.5" in the rears. They aren't for every application but they have worked well for me as long as i'm using my limit straps
