Baffling the fuel tank and fitting a swirl pot for the fuel?

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by RedSquareImages, Dec 25, 2013.

  1. I'm looking to get rid of the fuel starvation problems that occur on track when running with a qtr tank. Has anyone attempted to resolve this? Has anyone fitted a swirl pot? Got any pictures? I was hoping to bury it under the floor next to the fuel tank on the R26.R
     
  2. Merry Xmas pal, few pics about I'll add a couple for you in a sec. One is from RS tuning....
     
  3. I find it easier not to run mine below half a tank, never let mine to get to a quarter anymore
     
  4. Is that a fuel pump too?
    I was hoping not to loose the spare wheel space
     
  5. Not to sure, but possibly. I'm sure it could be done the way you want it though
     
  6. the above setup uses a modified fuel rail too.

    This one is needed for 350+HP on the 225/R26 so a return can be added.

    It can be done pretty cheap but to do it like the above setup with Teflon lines and AN fittings it's about £800 with the regulator, rail and pump etc.

    According to a post on facebook it can be done much cheaper but I find that hard to believe if you use the same quality fittings and regulator.
     
  8. Is it needed for a standard car or a stage 1 car Paul
     
  9. I've seen a setup used on Peugeot 306s which hangs the swirl pot under the boot floor (floor is flat in the 306 with no wheel well), I'll try to find you a picture - I'm sure RS Tuning could do something similar.

    That's the 'upside down' swirl pot - don't know if there is space to do similar on the Megane?

    Regarding the tank baffles, I don't think you would need to with the swirl pot and improved pump? Difficult without changing the fuel tank I would expect too.
