External Swirl pot

[kevtherev]

Very soon I'll be moving to an injection engine away from my beloved Pierburg.
Rather than change the fuel tank from a carburettor to an injection type, I would like to fit an external swirl pot, has anyone had any experience of this?
I think my Scirocco 1.8i has one, I'd like to fit something easy and not costing the earth.

ELVIS did explain something about this but in my excitement, I missed the details.

Not VW, but about 10 years ago I converted my Favorit rally car to injection, and it needed a swirl pot (as I didn't want to fit a tank-mounted pump, etc). Made one up easily from a fairly standard metal container with some pipe fittings from the local pipe/thread factors, with suitable fittings to allow it to fill with fuel, with a return to the tank (as per the original setup which was already present), and then the feed and return to/from the high pressure pump as well. Worked absolutely fine, although the plumbing was a bit cumbersome; never had a problem with fuel supply or air getting in it.

Yours if you want them bought for a project about 5 years ago and sat in the shed since.

Thanks fellas.
Good information djaychela, it did cross my mind to build it myself.
However your offer MGP is probably the way to go
What was it intended for?

Cheers ELVIS
I remember now
Will I need a low pressure pump?
like MGP has pictured

Do you not have one already? I'd -guess- a mechanical one would do the job if you have one already, it's just keeping the swirl pot full, after all. (mine was electric, a facet one much like MGP has pictured).

I have a mechanical pump, on the old engine sure, but I'd like to simplify the pipework, so I think an electric one would be preferable.

No hopefully not.

My current lpg set up will be sold.
