Why do you want photos, you can never see them, as everything hides under the car ?

Its Pro Alloy tank & swirl pot Paul

The lift pump on the side is a Holley 110 GPH Martin ordered it in from the US for me
No point in having a lift pump that cant keep up with the 044 bosch main pump as the pot will run dry

Routes dash10) tank - liftpump- top of swirlpot - bottom of swirl pot to 044 - (dash6) 044 out to filter - filter out to fuel rail - fuel rail out to pressure regulator - p/r out to top swirl pot - top of s/p back to tank

standard saff cos filter in Pro Alloy bracket iwth 044

This is my one that had to be cut about to make way for the Magnex exhaust, hence why it is a bit rough and ready, but I don't care as only the cats eyes and road kill get to see it normally

Paul, ill get some pics for you tomorrow.

but my intake pump lifts to a swirl pot in a boot enclosure which also houses my 044 fuel pump.

all nicely consealed within a tank in the boot.

but may just go for something mildly along the lines of what Dangerous has.

Dangerous, looking very good


Bit of a ropey pic

thats just what i told you was the best route paul save having a tank in the boot and swirl under and pumps under. I think personally its too much stuff underneath the car for my liking

For a road car, you'd be mad to put it all in the boot - the noise is horrendous .

Mine has been like this set up for SEVEN years with no issues what-so-ever .

Must admit Mike, it is a bit on the noisy side.

but not to worried, what with the rear beam being solid mounted aswell - the rear diff grinds away when decelerating
