Swirl Tanks

[Noodles]

Whats the idea to them im trying to slove the problem of when ever I come out of a left hand bend at pace the car boggs down and revs stick, I think is because the tank is a lond one across the back of the car the pick up pipe is sucking in air. So would having one stop this cos the small tank is consatnly primed.

 

Also how are they plumbed in, is it...

 

Out of fuel tank though pump into swirl pot

 

then out of swirl pot though pump to carbs?

What are you running mate?

Your right though, the swirl pot will have a constant supply of fuel to the injectors.

 

Goes from main tank, through filter, lift pump into swirl pot, out of swirl pot into pre-filter, into injection pump, into post filter, into T/B's, into pressure regulator and finally back to the swirl pot.

Then there is a feed from the top of the swirl pot that goes back into the main fuel tank.

Is only got a pinto on 45s but its allways on the left handers and I know the pick up is towards the right.

The carbs have a float bowl with fuel in that should provide some fuel and prevent a sudden lose in power when you have a slight surge.

I can think what it could be then, its not the engine cos it did it with the last one too.

I get the same thing with my fiesta, suddenly bogs when I take a tight left bend fast. But the car is a 1300 bog standard, I don't know why my car does it either
