fuel pump and swirl pot

[tony k]

i know i need 2 fuel pumps but my mate was saying i need a high volocity pump and a low volocity pump aint got a clue really was gonna order some but then thought i would ask you guys first is there any named brands i should go for its for a c20let lump cheers

i belive you need a slightly higher flow rate pump to feed the swirl pot (hence why they have a return pipe) and a slightly lower rate apropriate fuel pump to feed ur designated fuel system

[mowgli]

if you have got an fuel injection tank, it comes with an integral swirl pot & you only need a stock efi pump. if you are using an old carb tank with a return, then you need a low pressure pump ie. a facet red top, to feed the swirl pot, & a high pressure pump (a stock vauxhall one) to feed the injection system

[ste porter]

then you need a low pressure pump ie. a facet red top, to feed the swirl pot, & a high pressure pump (a stock vauxhall one) to feed the injection system


surely that wouldent work within seconds of the high flow pump beeing switched on it will have drained the swirl pot because it canot fill up as fast as it is beeing emptied

with little or no pressure for the facet to face it can pump approx 150Litres per hour...... go on tell me your engine can comsume 150litres of fuel per hour lol.
