34QR.K -
The cooling system is unchanged from standard, with the exception of the radiator duct/crash structure
which is similar in concept but reshaped, A front mounted oil cooler is an optional fit.
340.L - FUEL S Y S T E M
The fuel system is based on that of the standard Elise, but the fuel tank filler spigot is angled more acutely
to clear the cabin rear bulkhead. New hoses connect the tank to the filler neck, which uses a flush fitting
lockable cap. As the cap does not incorporate the safety pressure relief function provided by the standard cap,
an additional safety valve is fitted into the breather pipe connecting the filter neck to the roll over valve. This
valve functions only in cases of extreme pressure change to prevent potential fuel tank damage.
