fuel system auxilley tank

Just curious on your thoughts,

Im not 100%sure if my fuel tank has swirl plates in it or not, is there some kind of tank(i.e catch tank) i can put in after the fuel pump that fills with fuel and feeds the carb?

Many thanks

Yes, its called a swirl pot. The ones in the tank are called Baffles, though some have a swirl pot inside, near the outlet.

A low pressure pump feeds the swirl pot, and then a high pressure pump feeds the engine from the swirl pot.





Kindest Regards,

You don't need a swirl pot for carburettors. They have bowls in them for this very reason.
