Holley's patent pending design solves the problems associated with traditional fuel pick-ups in stock fuel tanks as well as racing fuel cells. During hard cornering, acceleration, stopping, inclines, and low fuel conditions fuel runs away from the fuel pick up which introduces air into the system resulting in poor engine performance and even stalling. Surface tension and fluid wicking are the secrets of the HydraMat™'s amazing ability to draw fuel from nearly any area that has contact with fuel and store in the internal reservoir. As an area of the HydraMat™ is uncovered, the tiny pores of the media seal off through surface tension, forcing fuel to be contained in the reservoir and drawn from other areas of the mat where fuel continues to be available. The sheer size and coverage area of the HydraMat™ allows it to pull fuel from virtually any area in the tank or cell eliminating the need for specialty reservoirs and pick up pumps saving cost and greatly reducing complexity. HydraMats™ are available in various sizes and shapes to fit a variety of stock fuel tanks and/or race fuel cells.
