The fuel injection system will need a swirl pot. But where to put it in such a small car? After a first attempt to install everything in the boot, the rebuild allows for some other ideas. Starting with the purpose built bracket early this Sunday morning ...
... and the swirlpot mounted. Now the ideal spot for the high pressure fuel pump can be found and another steel bracket will be welded to the frame as this device is quite heavy.
A little bit of theory about the plumbing of a swirlpot in a fuel injection system from SBD. Modern fuel injected cars have the swirlpot integrated in the tank. In a car originally not equipped with EFI, a swirlpot has to be fitted separately to avoid fuel failure due to surge in fast corners.
Cheers.
