Fuel-pump seal

NO RATINGS

In racing, centrifugal force throws hot oil into the fuel-pump housing, resulting in increased heat transfer to fuel and oil leaks. Working in conjunction with Robert Yates Racing, Seals-it solved the problem using a molded neoprene seal bonded to an alloy plate to seal around the pump arm.

An insulating gasket and sleeved, insulated bolts also cut down on the engine heat transferred to the pump, further reducing fuel temperatures.

Designed for Robert Yates Belt Drive systems, the kit keeps hot engine oil from entering the fuel pump cavity on Ford, GM, and MOPAR applications.

LATEST ARCHIVED BROADCAST
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
