in all honesty it's not a swirl pot.
there is a reason they are round and this is to draw air out of the fuel in the swirl pot and to the return to tank.
i'm sure it's a tidy way to do the job, but an ebay round jobbie would do the job for less than half as much, then just get different outlets welded, custom pipes from hydraulics place, job done.

With regards to the shape of the tank. I've been going through 13 pages of old topics. All the in car tanks are round. But the ones under the car are square. Is there much of a difference in the 2 shapes. If so does anyone have a round one underneath? Is so any pictures would be appreciated along with where to get one.

on my 205 i use one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALLOY-FUEL-SUR...d=p3286.c0.m14

but with 2x044 pumps, i think it might be a little small for the application

I looked at that also, but it's an in car tank isn't it? Also looked the other day on pro alloy website but couldn't find fuel swirl pots.

mine is in car, if this is what you means, and thats a GRP A cossie pump (similar to a 044)

Mr.T

what fuel tank are you using?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

my std fuel pump and tank fill the swirl pot

been running this for 2years now, all fine

Mr.T

so it was a carb or inj tank?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

std 1.9 gti injection tank

Mr.T

thnx

iTrader: (2)

you don't need an injection tank though, if you use a facet lift pump, then you can use an non injection tank if that is what you have, infact better to use the high flow facet really as it doesn't mind a bit of air like injection ones.

Mr.T

so from fuel tank to main pump use a facet pump just to lift it? ok. And with that setup i can keep the std carb tank? ok. Well that would be great as i am just going to pick up a new tank i don't really want to hehe.

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

i dont need to wear gloves when driving but i do and it's fine

at the end of the day, the std pump was FREE as it was already fitted

a facet would need me to spend money,

my system works, my fuel gauge works

i and go flat out in an pretty much empty tank and get no surge

you advice is probably correct

i'm just saying what ACTUALLY works and saves me some money


*not trying to offend or have a go

Spiky

yeah that will be fine,

your return from engine needs to go to swirl pot, not and the tank
