Swirl Pot

Any ideas where i might find a cheap swirl pot with 3 or 4 inlet/outlets?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Make one!

You can weld so have a go, they can be steel.

Pop down to B&Q, get some thin tube for the inlets/outlets and cap a bit of tube.

Here's mine, cost maybe 1/2 hour and scrap Rescued attachment Swirl_pot.JPG

In which case do not worry, as long as the fuel in the tank is high its not an issue, just leave some slack on the fuel pipes so you can add at a later stage.

I raced an EFI landrover for years without a swirl pot, never had an issue, its more a track day goodie not required if you do not have any issues.

I made mine as I had some spare time really.
