There's anther pump underneath in the original cradle bringing fuel into the swirl pot. The return from the fuel rail also fills the swirl pot.

However, in the long run you'll probably end up with a boot-mount alloy tank and firewall. Why not just go for that set-up? It's lighter, safer and easier to work on.

cheers anyway mate,

the reason i dont want to mount a tank in the car is IMO the ford fuel tank is in the right place, fitting a boot mount tank raises the centre of gravity as i'm sure you know. i will probably cut a hole in the wheel well and drop the swirl pot through it,
