Which fuelpumps when using a swirl pot ?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,
I'm thinking about using a swirl pot in my Van.
Do you maybe have some advise what low pressure self succing pump I could use to fill up the swirl pot?
And what high pressure pum I should use to feed the fuel from the swirl pot?

just use the bog standard turbo efi pump as normal for the supply to the engine/carb.
Or something of a similar nature. ( of course depending what sort of pipe/fittings you want to use )

Although keeping things neater, a swirl pot with an integral pump tidies things up.
Likes of Nuke or Radium maybe a bit expensive ?

034 motorsport do one for a Bosch 044....however an 044 would be far beyond overkill for any A-series.
But you get the idea of the design. As the pump outlet screws into that adapter, not all Bosch pumps will interchange.

You can get cheap chinese crap for a standard Bosch style pump which should work with the original Bosch pump used on the metro etc.

Some use Facet pumps for lift pumps. You'd need to sort one to suit your flow needs and fitment

I will look for a Facet lift pump and an integral pump in swirl pot solution.

I have used a cheap ebay pump to lift out of my tank and a bosch replacement one also off ebay to take it to the pressure regulator

I also have used two filters pre both pumps

Outside the box

The metro turbo tank is fitted with a swirl pot so the standard pump should suffice

Own the day

ah, that is good info. I didn't know that the metro turbo fuel tank is fitted with a swirl pot.
Is this Metro turbo swirl pot part of the fuel tank or fixed separat outside the fuel tank?

OEM "swirl" pots inside tanks are usually crap and it is wrong to compare them to a typical external swirl/surge tank install.
