Default Swirl pots......

Do tanks that have in tank pumps still have a swirl pot? I'm guessing they do but i'm not 100% so thought it was worth an ask

Thanks in advance

usually the pick up is on the bottom of the pump, small peice of gauze ect.. if they wernt sat in a swirl pot they wouldnt stay in the fuel all the time. the pick up is usually sat slightly off the bottom of the tank.

so in answer Andy... yes i think so .

Or the fuel pumps already submerged pump fuel into a gated central collector and the feed is drawn from that
