The Holley HydraMat solves the fuel starvation problems associated with traditional pick-ups in stock tanks and racing fuel cells. During hard cornering, acceleration, braking, inclines, and low fuel conditions, fuel can run away from a conventional pick-up and introduce air into the system, causing poor performance or stalling. Surface tension and fluid wicking let the HydraMat draw fuel from nearly any area still in contact with fuel and hold it in an internal reservoir, so it keeps feeding the pump even as parts of the mat are uncovered.

Designed to fit flat-bottom rectangular fuel cells with minimum dimensions of 11" x 11". Return fuel should be discharged at least 1 inch above the mat near the pick-up. The female NPT outlet doesn't require sealing paste or tape — using one could cause fuel pump failure. Works with alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and E-85 fuels, and 2-cycle oil blends up to 20:1; not for use with most other oils or diesel fuel.

What fitting does the outlet use?
A center outlet with a -1/2" NPT fitting.
Does it need sealing paste or tape on the NPT threads?
No. The female NPT thread doesn't require sealing paste or tape — using one could cause fuel pump failure.
