Another Metro mod..

OK, this is my new tank from Sir Lord Carlos of Austin.

The breather is not yet attached..

QUIZ TIME.. a chunky KITKAT is in the post to the first person who explains what is going on with the plumbling. Sir Austin you can't play.



Note, it is not quite finished due to having to buy some more hose but is all working..

JF.

tank has a sneakey built in swirl pot?

Hmmm looking for more of a "blow by blow" explanation of the fuel's journey...

We are talking a KINGSIZE KITKAT CHUNKY!!

JF.

second that guess. the facet pump is feeding the swirl pot from the main tank and then the proper high pressure pump is feeding out from the swirl.

then the rest of the pluming is respective to that set-up etc.

fuel sucked out into a swerl pot which is hidden which then leads to a fuel filter then fuel pump and the floppy dong is for fun and the top on the return line

basically what james said just bettereaaaa

I seriously doubt it!

James H, that is pretty much it.. Can you add more detail??

Can someone else expand just a little further??

JF.

the facet pump pumps fuel around something in the tank to cool the fuel you are pumping to carb.


i give up i got a head ache lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Looks like your fuel return goes to the swirlpot too. Although I'd have thougt it better to go into the tank direct.

nah if it was like that the facet pump would have to out pump the high pressure one or the pot would empty.

ok then:

Tank > Facet > Swirlpot > Filter > HP pump > Reg > Return line into the top of the swirt pot.

Then you have the breater at the neck to vent pressure/fumes. (and pure HC's baby!)

only thing thats getting me is the connection to the right of the tank. unless thats the breather for the swirl but that seems like it would be a damn large swirl pot...no?

The second pump supplies a spray nozzle in the rear bumper to spray and burn the miglia drivers next time they try and punt jon off

And theres me thinking this was a metro!

for some reason i knew as soon as i posted that, there was going to be something to make me look a fool!

love the reaction Jon! get those boxing gloves on!!

haha this is true. its not hard to make me look a fool, i do it mostly by myself!

I think i need to hold my tongue abit more...but wheres the fun in that!

James H, That will do.. you win, pm your address for said confectionary prize..

The pipe from near the filler is just a spill overflow.

Return returns to the internal swirl pot so it has to be totally dry before it runs out of fuel, the idea is that I have to run no more fuel that nesesseseessesary.

Yes, Bloody Miglia, we shared a grid with them once... Was expensive fun!



The clip around the fuel filter was from an old honda civic.

JF.

woohooo! im a kind person...you can keep the chunky as a gift for making me look clever and foolish all in the same post!

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

the fuel goes up, then across a bit, then up again and then down, then round and round, then down, then across and up a bit more and then its burnt
