Radium Engineering Fuel Surge Tank Install Kit for Evo X

Firstly, Buy the Radium Engineering Evo X Surge Tank Kit for your Mitsubishi Evolution X. Upgrade your Mitsubishi Evolution X fuel system with the Radium Engineering Fuel Surge Tank Install Kit for Evo X. Designed for 2008–2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X models, this installation kit provides the plumbing, mounting hardware, and electrical components needed to install a compatible Radium fuel surge tank.

A fuel surge tank helps maintain a consistent fuel supply during hard cornering, acceleration, and track driving. These conditions can cause fuel to move away from the main tank’s pickup, potentially leading to fuel starvation. Adding a properly configured surge tank helps support reliable fuel delivery when your Evo X is driven hard. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search1”]}/>

Please note: This is an installation kit, not a complete fuel surge tank assembly. The surge tank and its fuel pump must be purchased separately.

Why Choose the Evo X Fuel Surge Tank Install Kit?

The Radium Engineering Evo X Fuel Surge Tank Install Kit is designed to make adding a compatible surge tank to your vehicle more straightforward. It includes application-specific hoses, fittings, mounting hardware, and wiring components.

The mounting bracket attaches to factory mounting points, so drilling or cutting the vehicle is not required for the intended installation. The system also retains the factory battery and windshield washer fluid reservoir in their original locations.

Radium positions the surge tank behind the rear seat and behind the trunk’s removable plastic paneling. Once installed, the panel can be refitted, preserving usable trunk space. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search6”]}/>

Key Features of the Radium Evo X Fuel Surge Tank Kit

This installation kit includes the key components needed to integrate a compatible fuel surge tank into the factory fuel system.

• Preassembled PTFE fuel hoses: Four application-specific hoses are supplied cut to length for easier installation.
• 6AN fuel connections: The 3/8-inch hoses use -6AN fittings and integrate with the factory fuel lines.
• Dedicated mounting bracket: A powder-coated aluminum bracket secures the surge tank using factory mounting points.
• AN and OEM-style fittings: Included adapters help connect the new plumbing to the existing fuel system.
• Stainless steel hardware: Provides the hardware needed for the intended mounting arrangement.
• Relay and fuse wiring kit: Electrical components provide a dedicated power circuit for the surge tank’s fuel pump.
• Fuel-compatible hose construction: PTFE hose is suitable for gasoline and compatible alcohol-based fuels, including E85, when the entire fuel system is appropriately configured.

These components help simplify installation while providing a practical foundation for a modified Evo X fuel system. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search4”]}/>

How a Fuel Surge Tank Helps Your Evo X

The factory fuel tank can struggle to maintain uninterrupted pickup supply during sustained high-g cornering or other demanding driving conditions. When fuel moves away from the pickup, the in-tank pump may temporarily receive insufficient fuel.

A surge tank adds a separate reservoir that helps maintain a supply of fuel for the high-pressure pump. This can reduce the risk of fuel starvation during track sessions and other demanding driving situations.

The results depend on the complete system, including the main-tank pump, surge tank, fuel pump capacity, plumbing, and electrical supply. The installation kit provides the hardware to integrate the system, but it does not increase fuel flow by itself.

Fuel Surge Tank and Pump Compatibility

The Radium Engineering installation kit is intended for compatible Radium fuel surge tanks using a single fuel pump. The manufacturer lists support for specified 39 mm fuel pumps and compatible Bosch 044-style configurations.

The kit is not designed for the Radium MPFST. Dual-pump surge tank installations also require additional wiring and plumbing beyond the standard single-pump setup.

Before ordering, confirm that your chosen surge tank and fuel pump are compatible with this installation kit. The correct combination depends on your engine’s fuel requirements and the configuration of your existing fuel system. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search1″,”turn294700search12”]}/>

Evo X Fuel Surge Tank Kit Installation Details

The kit is designed around the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X’s factory mounting locations and fuel line layout. Its preassembled hoses reduce the need to measure and fabricate every connection from scratch.

The included wiring components use a relay, fuse, and solderless connectors. Radium describes the wiring assembly as straightforward, although the full installation still requires careful work on the vehicle’s fuel and electrical systems.

Keep these important considerations in mind:

• Main-tank fuel pump: The factory in-tank pump supplies fuel to the surge tank. Depending on the surge tank pump’s flow rate, a higher-capacity in-tank pump may be necessary.
• Fuel pressure: The factory pump housing’s return port can restrict return flow. A high-flow setup may require modification to help manage fuel pressure.
• Dual-pump configurations: Additional wiring and a second fuel line may be required.
• Fuel system safety: Installation requires depressurizing the fuel system and taking precautions against spills, sparks, and ignition sources.

For best results, follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and have a qualified performance workshop complete the work if you are unfamiliar with fuel system modifications. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search12”]}/>

Important Evo X Fitment Notes

This kit is intended for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. However, it is not compatible with right-hand-drive Evo X models that have the large factory windshield washer reservoir occupying the intended mounting location.

Check the washer reservoir position before purchasing, especially if your vehicle is a right-hand-drive import. Also verify the surge tank and fuel pump you intend to use, as these components are sold separately from the installation kit. <Cite refs={[“turn294700search0″,”turn294700search6”]}/>

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include the fuel surge tank?

No. The installation kit includes the mounting bracket, hoses, fittings, hardware, and wiring components. The compatible surge tank and fuel pump must be purchased separately.

Does the kit require cutting or drilling?

The intended installation uses factory mounting points, so drilling or cutting is not required for the bracket installation.

Can I use this kit with E85?

The supplied PTFE hoses and compatible fuel-system components are designed to support fuels such as E85. Ensure that the surge tank, pump, seals, injectors, and all other fuel system components are also suitable for your chosen fuel.

Will this kit fit a right-hand-drive Evo X?

Not if the vehicle has the large OEM windshield washer reservoir in the kit’s mounting location. Check your vehicle before ordering.
