hi, im in the middlw of making an alloy fuel tank 600x350x300mm, can i just fit this in with the standard fuel pump etc, or as the car is turbo and injection, will I have to use 2 pumps, one from tank into a swirl pot then the original from the swirl pot to engine??
cheers, Andy

"will I have to use 2 pumps, one from tank into a swirl pot then the original from the swirl pot to engine"

No, gravity feed to the swirl pot (hold about 4lts) then one pump to engine. I run 2 pumps in line one as a spare.

I also run two feeds to the swirl pot one from each side of the tank so when you are cornering left or right you still are getting a continuous feed of fuel..

I wiil try and sort out a pic..

ok thanks, that sounds much better, if you could send a pic that would be brilliant, so do you literally have the swirl pot fitted underneath the tank? would also be interesting to see your set up for the two pumps :-)
thanks Derek, Andy
