Baffled Fuel Tank & Swirl Pots
Yet more questions.
Do I need a baffled tank, if so why.
Do I need a fuel swirl pot, if so why.
Where is best place to mount a swirl pot if needed.

baffled tank reduces tank slap, swirl pot if running injection, dont think it matters where swirl pot is fitted
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Heavy on the questions, light on the detail 
What kind of set-up are you using? For relaxed driving you might get away without a baffled tank or a swirl pot but it depends on lots of factors like
engine bay temperature (which will be partially dependent on ambient temperature), how vigarously you are driving etc etc etc... Is the fuel tank not
baffled but sumped?? Lots of variables.

I have a large unbaffled tank, when it is a third full I get fuel starvation problems, will be fitting a fuel swirl pot next
I eat to survive
I drink to forget

if you are running injection the the best tank to get is one with an anti serge device fitted inside with baffling, this will stop fuel starvation
when cornering hard.
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Thanks for that link it may be just what I am looking for.
Hmm that gear looks the same as OBP's stuff.
I was looking at a header tank the other week and the welding was perfect 
I guess this is the guy that makes it. ?????
