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

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.

fezzielove

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?

JonnyBravo

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.
