That the after market/cheap sierra fuel tanks have no swirl pot but instead have the pipes running to the middle of tank

I've seen one and cannot believe it

There are three different tanks for sierra, pattern anyway, all I can say is the one I cut open had a swirl pot made by MERCEDES!!, in the centre, still got the piccies too.
My aftermarket one had a METAL swirl pot inside, (whereas the std ford one is plastic, but still ok), the made in CANADA ones are best.

Its not a plastic tank mate, just a plastic swirl pot inside the metal fuel tank

On another note, anyone able to get genuine ford ones anymore? We could only get an intank pump version when we tried
