I'm fitting EFI to the old mans clubby estate, do you think I could get away with using a T piece and not welding a return line into the tank? I was planning on fitting a small swirl pot in the boot, as I guess the estate tank will suffer from fuel surge a lot?? Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

Jim, the long wheel base fuel tank is really bad with surge anything bellow half full, you really do need a swirl pot. There is no getting away from it.

I thought the " T piece trick " was between the carb and plenum... I was trying to figure out what you were planning before I opened this post lol On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

What you suggest will be fine. Just make sure you get the regulator in the right place. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

On EFI I've always returned to the tank. When I used a van tank I added a swirl pot and a lifter pump.

I will fit a swirl pot and a lifter pump, but the return line from the swirl pot I was going to put into a T between the tank and the lifter pump.

Jim, could you not make a swirl pot that fits in the gap behind the wheel arch, then make a neat panel to hide it from sight, so its in the boot but can't be seen? Or perhaps squeeze something in under the spare wheel cover board?

If you use a SU or Facet type pump between the tank and the swirl pot, then there is no need for a return. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

There needs to be a return off the top of the swirl pot otherwise it will have a vapour space and pressurise?.............. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Does the swirl pot need to be higher than the tank? Can it not be fitted under the car on the rear subframe. Id personally try and keep as much of the fuel system out if the cabin space as possible On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
