thats a swirl pot, you feed it from the tank with a facet type interuptor pump, and then the high pressure lines/pump runs from the output of the swirl pot, and the fuel return goes back to the SP, there is usually an overflow from the SP that feedds back to the tank.

Universal Tanks are readily avilable from most motorsport fabricators, 100 quid should get you one but get a baffled, twin wall item.

The baffle works similar to a Baffled sump, its filled with an alu/steel wool and holds the fuel in the bottom when cornering hard. A twin wall item has two layers of siding so if the 1st is pierced the second layer needs to be damaged before any spillage.
