Re: Fuel pressure at the carburetor?
The specific gravity of car fuel at 60F is about 0.73 (Google).
The vertical distance from the carb inlet to the top of a late 1930 full tank is about 22 inches.
If the liquid was water, then the pressure would be 22 in/H2O.
But this is fuel, so
22 x .73 = 16.06 in/H2O
16.06 = 0.58 PSI.
What do you guys think? Sound about right?
Revised 8-16-2020. Was 60C, is 60F.
