Mk3 van efi turbo fitted, bigger outlet welded to tank but tank has no swirl pot, so i think i need to fit an external swirl pot, but am unsure on size, location, plumbing etc

has anyone fitted one on a escort van? i have the standard rst pump, im not worried about aero fittings etc, as its no extreme racer!

do you HAVE TO use two pumps?

 

Anyone?

 

Yes you need 2 pumps, one has to fill the swirl pot and the other pumps from that and feeds the engine.

 

funnily enough i am currently fitting a 1.6 efi turbo into my escort van pickup mk4 as the original engine is a 1.3 carb it has mech fuel pump and no return did you have to weld a return onto the tank? and from what i know you need a low pressure pump to feed fuel to the swirl pot and a high pressure pump from the pot to supply the injectors and pressure reg

 

search, covered lots of times

 

is there a way of doing this without going for a full on boot mounted install? Noticed my alleged 's2' tank doesnt have a swirl pot in so going to need a swirl pot of sorts fitting somewhere.

 

yeh i dont want to internal mount it either, i want to mount inderneath the van.

 

I dont see why it cant be mounted under the van only problem is clearance and does any one know if thez can be used on there side as i am toying with the same idea

 

Looking at one of these then

what pipe goes where?

 

Bottom is feed to main pump, very top is return to fuel tank ( overflow ), return from the engine is the middle and above that is feed from the lift pump.

 

to fuel tank
from fuel tank
return from engine
to engine

 

makes sense, cheers
