I do them so that the very top of the swirl pot returns to the fuel tank, the fse returns to the top fitting, the facet feeds the middle one and the inj pump gets its feed from the bottom.Quote:

I was told to do it this way but here is the diagram from SBD

Thats how he has it plumbed (so long as he listened to me lol)
Sounded like a great day olly :) Need to pull my finger out and come up to do a donny day with you!
The return from the fse is at the very top on Ollys and the return to the tank is one of the ones on the side, just looked at a pic on his thread.
Possibility that its surging as it only using half of the swirl pot ?
Could be....
As the facets filling half the tank, and its then draining back out the return instead of fully filling the tank.
But he hasn't had the problem before i dont think?
And hes done a far few other events
I wouldn't imagine the two returns making a difference if theyre back to front, he should still have the swirl pot 90% filled at all times.
I cant imagine there's fuel pressure dropping off on corners either. although, which way is the pump mounted, side to side or front to back?
It might be worth checking the wiring/earth to the front pump in case its disconnecting periodically. Could also be a loose connection somewhere else.
Pumps mounted side to side, loose connection is definately a possibility, wasn't there once a similar problem with the inj pump that turned out to be a wiring issue ? could also be something to do with why the fuel guage isn't working correctly either.
Anyway its late and I've had enough of talking wiring for one day LOL its the weekend and I plan to stay as far away from cars as possible lol
Get those videos sorted Olz ! :)
So the rear springs helped then? It certainly seems to be cornering flatter in the pics :)
A smallblock engine would solve the fuel starvation problem as they don't use enough fuel to get starvation lol
Id be checking wiring too, on both pumps.
It would take quite a while to run that swirl pot low enough to be getting misfires/hesistation, and i dont see that happening in a corner around Donny.
lol lol lol lol lol lolQuote:

When a small block nova overtakes either Olz, Dar, Lee etc.. then I'll retract the :gay: comment
Well, you better get ready then when Lee303s 1800 16v comes out to play :D;)Quote:
