| INSTALLATION TESTS COMPARING HART & FURY HEADER TANK SHAPES & THE RESULTANT EFFECT ON THE WATER FLOW WHEN USING SIMILAR INTERNAL OUTLET ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE WATER. WITH THE STRAIGHT BACKED, SHALLOW HART TANK THE INCOMING WATER AT HIGH VELOCITY CREATES A BIGGER TURBULENCE IN THE TANK MAKING THE RISK OF SPILLING GREATER THAN IN THE CASE OF THE DEEPER FURY TANK. FIG. IV VENT FRONT FROM ENGINE TO ENGINE REAR 7.75" HART TANK WATER COLD FILLING LEVEL 2.0 GALLS. VENT FRONT FROM ENGINE TO ENGINE REAR 11.0" FURY TANK WATER COLD FILLING LEVEL 2.5 GALLS. T.A.G | ||
