Holley Hydramat
SteakStones Let You Cook Your Meal
Anywhere
One of the most interesting and unique products we
found yesterday at PRI was in the Holley booth, in the
form of their brand new Hydramat fuel reservoir – a
design that solves issues racers and enthusiasts have
had for years. Traditional fuel pickups suffer from a
variety of maladies, most importantly that they can
become uncovered under hard cornering, heavy
acceleration, and under low fuel conditions, depriving

one that often gets left out is an auditory experience.
(Thanks for carrying that torch, fajitas.) To bring a little
sizzle to your dining experience, consider SteakStones.
Each lets you and your guests cook your own steaks
right on the lava stone included in the tray. All you have
to do is toss the stone in the oven, drop it back in place,
and fire up a few cowboy rib-eyes wherever you like.
Choose from a range of different SteakStone layouts,
and get ready to add some sizzle to your next meal. $79
The Hydramat looks like just a gigantic in-tank fuel
filter, but it’s much more than that, according to
Holley’s Bill Tichenor. “These are used primarily in a
fuel injected application, but it can be used in any
application from road racing to autocross to off-road
trucks, and we’ve already set up an ARCA circle track
car with it for the 2015 season. The trick to it is that it
takes up a large surface area in the fuel tank. The
Hydramat has a material that wicks the fuel to the
pickup – it doesn’t have to be touching the fuel much
at all in order to provide the fuel supply,” he explains.
The secret to the Hydramat is surface tension – as

provides an inlet for the Hydramat to make the most of

fuel it needs when it needs it. As an area of the mat is
uncovered, the pores of the mat seal up again and keep
the fuel already contained in the reservoir to stay there.
Its flexible nature makes it an easy install in just about
any type of fuel tank; it can be compressed down to fit
through the pump access hole, and then it recovers its
normal shape once the compression is released.
