will i need a swirl pot if i have foam in my tank?

Hi There

i am drawing up my fuel tank and my plan was to put foam in it to stop any fuel swishing about but with this setup will i need a swirl pot or maybe baffles in the tank and a swirl pot is the was forward?
I am running a 2L focus engine

With regard to the foam, I've read somewhere that it's got about a 2-3 year life and it needs replacing.

This would seem to be confirmed by my mates 205 BEC which about 2 years in suffered fuel starvation and it turned out to be the foam breaking down and it had blocked the filter with blue gunk.

Just a thought before you go buying it

If you are making a new tank build one with a built in swirl pot
