fuel return to tank

Hi guys, just fitted my injection pump for my turbo install. 6 months ago i made an alloy tank and added the fuel return barb for this new mod. But im unsure if its going to create fuel pick up problems for the pump. What i did was make a standard sized tank, but drilled 20 mm hole in the bottem and then welded a 50mm x 50mm box 20mm deep below this hole. It was to help the fuel stay at the pic up for the pump and not move away on hard cornering.

This has worked fine with the original no return pump. But thinking about it now i have connected it up im unsure if the returning fuel into this small box will swirl and effect the pick up.

Any suggestions or calming comments welcome





Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

seems a good idea to me in principle, means the tank will more likely have fuel in it. Only concern would be how small it is. I would have expected it to be about a litre in capacity not half litre.
