Default Who knows about in car fuel systems?

I need a quick bit of advice. The fuel system is being moved into the boot of the RST but retaining the original tank as the BTTC and UK spec Group A cars had but I need to know based on a 2.0 ZVH running greens, soon to be grey injectors though at circa 300 BHP.

  • Do I need two low pressure lift pumps or is just one ok?
  • Are Facet the best ones to go for (I know they are noisey) or are the unbranded eBay ones just as good? I've been told they are exactly the same pumps just unbranded.
  • The group A cars ran twin high pressure fuel pumps, will a single pump be ok? I'm surrently running a Bosch 979 Motorsport pump rated at 200lph @ 5 BAR.
  • As for a swirlpot, I've been asked what size I want, 1, 1.5 or 2 litre?

The set up I order was thinking was;

Fuel Tank - Mk4 Escort Fuel filter - Lift pump - swirl pot - high pressure pump(s) - MK6 Escort fuel filter - Injector rail - return back to fuel tank.
