being really fussy, i'd prefer the bracket something like this, though drawing not to scale, sure you know what i'm getting at. so i can
secure it to one of the 1x1" chassis rails..
here's how sbd recon the connections should go:

sorry for those who have seen this before..

Does anyone know what sort of hose fittings are available for this sort of thing? Perhaps welded in ones? Or maybe welded in threaded bosses, that
unions can screw into? This would allow the user to shoose the unions best for his (or her!) application.
As for mounting the swirl pot, then I quite like the idea of having a couple of threaded bosses so that a mounting plate/clamp can be bolted on to
suit the end user. This would allow one tank to be fabricated for most users, and the end users makes up the bracket to attach it to the car?
I'm having no luck finding any specs for threaded fuel unions now. I need to know the preferred size and thread.
Cheers
Andy
Dammit! Too many decisions....

4 x 1/4NPT / BSP threads should do the job; 3 at the top, 1 at the bottom
You can their purchase fittings of choice...

Is there any reason that a similar type pot could be made but tall enough to house the high pressure pump and gravity feed from the main tank to the
swirl pot ?
Thanks

If you want gravity feed from the bottom of the main tank to the top of this one, then you're likely to need a highish car, or have the bottom
main fuel tank 15-20cm above the bottom chassis line.
Gravity feed may also have quite a few problems if you're going up a severe incline.
No reason one shouldn't house the main high pressure pump, though.

I am not sure I understand the pros / cons, but whats wrong with a Diesel Fuel Filter, this the filter guts knocked out?,
They usually have 4 decent fuel proof connections on them, and hold a pint ot two. Could you not adapt one of those, Peugeots even have water heated
filter housings.
Lorry ones would be even bigger..
Just a thought
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff

Just seen this post.
I have used a VW Golf GTi Mk1 swirl pot and fuel pump on my 1.8 Zetec and it works fine cost about £30 for the swirl pot and about £70 for the
pump.
