Gregg,

This may help you out and is exactly what Sideshow is talking about.

My tank is aluminium with a 75 litre capacity. I retreived the VDO Fuel Pump, Sender Unit an Swirl Pot from a VS V8 Commodore. The Swirl Pot was fitted to the base of the tank and the Fuel Pickup Line goes straight to the bottom of that Swirl Pot. This setup is part of the Sender Unit and this is what you see in the accompanying photo.

Two Fuel Lines are connected to that Sender Unit and they both go to the adjustable Fuelab Fuel Regulator which is set to 60 lbs pressure. The top hose goes through the Fuel Regulator ton a single line to the engine while the bottom hose goes into the Fuel Regulator then returns to the Swirl Pot if the pressure increases to more than 60lbs.

We selected this setup as it is far quieter and hopefully more reliable than having an external Swirl Pot and Fuel Pump.
