QFT Founder Marvin Benoit Retires After 19 Years
Image
Marvin Benoit, Quick Fuel Technology founder, created fuel system products that are easy to use, fast on the track and affordable for the racer, because, after all Benoit is a racer at heart, and he is building products he would want to use on his own race cars.
A few examples of his innovations include QFT’s QuickSet vacuum secondary adjustment, that eliminates the hassle of changing vacuum pod springs, high-flow 4-Door power valves that react faster and flow more fuel, die-cast and billet aluminum components for lighter weight and adding tuning features found in high-end carbs, like changeable idle and air bleeds to most QFT carbs, regardless of price.
Realizing that carburetors still offer some advantages over EFI, Benoit incorporated annular booster carb technology into Quick Fuel’s QFi to create an EFI throttle body.
When Benoit left Holley Performance Products in 1997 to start up QFT, his goal was to sell small carburetor components to racers. It wasn’t long before QFT was building its own line of carburetors and equipping them so that they were ready-to-race out of the box. Many a carb shootout against custom builders has been won by box-stock QFT carbs.
QFT’s product line evolved with fuel pumps, pressure regulators and most recently, EFI. Benoit was awarded 9 patents for fuel system innovations over those 19 years. As a result, Quick Fuel now sells in excess of 50,000 carburetors a year.
Benoit sold QFT to High Performance Industries in 2012.
Now, Benoit is planning on spending time with his family, traveling and of course racing his eclectic collection of race cars. He wants to thank his many employees and customers over the years for their loyalty and support. He looks forward to seeing them at the racetrack and shows in the future.
