Hi, Can anyone supply me with sizes, and a picture if possible, of an Avon fuel tank.
Going to run Zetec on TB's.

Cheers

Here you go!



You will need to use a swirl pot with a standard tank and injection too

And a low pressure lift pump too for the swirl pot.

Better still...just get a good one made with a baffle in it and your sorted

Thanks for reply, being a bit thick but where should the baffle be (apart from inside tank..) and what size swirl pot?

SM Engineering alloy swirl pot, unused | eBay

The baffle goes inside the tank quite close to the fuel pick pipe. It will try to keep a good level of fuel around the pipe for a short time to prevent starvation in mid cornering which is what mine suffered with when i first fitted the a similar setup to my Avon. I took it for granted that Tiger would have fitted one from standard but they dont.

I now have a low pressure pump that lifts fuel from the tank to the swirl pot then the high pressure pump takes over from there.

Thx laptop, can I be cheeky and ask what pumps you use?

Cheers again.
