Guys.I would like to find something out.How does the ford fuel tank swirlpot maintain a full fuel level for the pump? ?Does it rely on the returned fuel bypassed from the regulator? Or does it somehow draw fuel from underneath the pot?

I have not seen inside an xr6 tank but generally they are about half the height of the actual tank so when the fuel level drops below the height of the swirl pot they will retain a higher level than the rest of the tank.

that combined with all the returned fuel from the rail should keep it pretty well topped up.

There is a small black rubber valve on the bottom of the swril pot and the pot pretty much sits on the bottom of the tank ...

hope this helps
