The innovative HydraMat® from Holley represents a breakthrough solution to the challenges associated with conventional fuel pick-ups in both standard fuel tanks and high-performance racing fuel cells. Traditional setups encounter issues during dynamic conditions, such as hard cornering, acceleration, braking, inclines, and low fuel levels, causing fuel to move away from the pick-up and introducing air into the system, leading to engine performance issues and potential stalling. The HydraMat is engineered to overcome these challenges.
The HydraMat leverages the principles of surface tension and fluid wicking, endowing it with the remarkable ability to draw fuel from virtually any area that comes in contact with it and store it in its internal reservoir. When one part of the HydraMat becomes uncovered, the tiny pores in the media seal off through surface tension, directing fuel to the reservoir while simultaneously pulling from other areas where fuel remains accessible. The extensive coverage and size of the HydraMat empower it to extract fuel from almost any location within the tank or cell, eliminating the need for specialized reservoirs and pick-up pumps, resulting in cost savings and a significant reduction in complexity.
Key Features:
- Patent-pending design addresses issues with traditional fuel pick-ups in standard fuel tanks and racing fuel cells
- Substantially minimizes the risk of air entering the fuel system, preventing poor engine performance and potential stalling
- Ideal for vehicles experiencing fuel starvation during dynamic conditions and low fuel scenarios
- Surface tension and fluid wicking enable continuous fuel draw even when parts of the mat are uncovered
- Unique internal reservoir ensures fuel availability at the pickup, even under extreme fuel slosh conditions
- Eliminates the requirement for specialized reservoirs, sumps, and pick-up pumps, streamlining the system and reducing complexity
- Acts as a 15-micron pre-filter, negating the need for a separate filter before the fuel pump
