Fuel Pickup Assy 8an Duck Foot

The Fuel Pickup Assy 8AN Duck Foot by ATL Fuel Cells is a specialized fuel cell component designed for high-performance and racing applications where reliable fuel delivery is non-negotiable. This pickup assembly addresses a critical need in custom fuel system builds: ensuring consistent fuel flow regardless of vehicle attitude, acceleration forces, or fuel slosh dynamics. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, off-road buggy, or street performance machine with an ATL fuel cell, a quality pickup assembly is the foundation of stable engine management and safety under extreme driving conditions.

The duck foot design of this fuel pickup assy features a distinctive foot-shaped strainer intake that maximizes surface area while minimizing restrictions—a proven geometry in motorsports fuel cell engineering. The 8AN port sizing indicates compatibility with industry-standard -8 braided hose and adapter systems commonly found in LS swaps, carbureted builds, and modern EFI conversions. ATL Fuel Cells' manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and durable construction capable of withstanding pump cavitation, pressure cycling, and the mechanical vibration endemic to performance engines. The compact footprint (24 inches in depth) integrates efficiently into standard fuel cell baffles without requiring extensive custom fabrication or fuel tank modification.

This pickup assembly is ideal for engine builders, fabricators, and motorsports enthusiasts installing aftermarket fuel cells in drag cars, circle track machines, and performance street vehicles. Proper fuel pickup selection prevents lean-out conditions, fuel starvation on hard acceleration, and cavitation damage to high-output fuel pumps—making this component essential for reliability in forced-induction and naturally aspirated builds alike. Installation requires only basic fuel system plumbing knowledge; the 8AN connection points to standard -8 hose ends, AN adapters, and fuel line fittings available from any performance fuel system supplier. Verify your fuel cell's internal baffling configuration and pump mounting location before ordering to ensure proper integration with your specific tank design.
