Why would you drive  a G/FCC in the pits? Do you really want to put time
on an engine needlessly? We run a 12 gallon tank in the G/FL and it
never gets over 130 in the tank the engine has a thermostat 180 degree
and you have to run WATER on the salt. We also have a small expansion
tank that we fill through with a pretty low pressure cap ~ 6 or 7 psi
