Default To Swirl Pot or not to Swirl Pot that is the question...

I have got to the point now where I am connecting up the engine to the electrics and fuel supply and the use of a swirl pot is causing me to think hard.

I am a bit concerned about using the Marlin supplied swirl pot (really a surge tank) as

1. It is mounted on the bulkhead with the battery one side and the fuse box the other. I not sure that the SVA people will be to keen on this mixture of fuel and electrics.

2. It means using two fuel pumps and lots of extra connections in the fuel system - all more to go wrong.

I am now thinking about modifying my fuel tank to add a baffle instead. OK so its gonna cost (more) money but I am beginning to think it might be the better solution. What do you all think? Come on lets have some good discussion on this!!

Regards

Robin
