Although surely if this car is a race car spec of any kind with a custom fuel tank there cant be a need for any external swirl tank ?
Isnt that part of the reason you'd design a custom fuel tank in the first place ?
I commented on someones install recently, was a stock tank under the car and swirl pot in the back so in that case returning to the swirl pot and the top of the swirl pot returning to the tank is how I'd plumb it in but he was told that was not right, by quite a good source too.

Whats your opinion on that ? is overheating the fuel that much of an issue ?
