Hi all
Im looking to buy fuel pumps for my duratec 2.0 what pumps are you using to fill the swirl pot and what pump should be used to feed the TBs please.

You need a low pressure pump into the swirl pot like a Facet Purilator

and a Bosch 044 high pressure pump out of the swirl pot serving the rail.

Personally I have only one pump as I have a swirl pot built into my tank

Any idea where is the best place to get a Fuel Tank with a Swirl Pot fitted inside ?

Cheers Vtwin


Will give them a call.

Make sure your high pressure pump is fed by gravity as they don't like to suck the fuel in so it needs to be lower than your output connection on the swirl.

thanks for that i have planned to place the pump above the swirl pot.
