I have an 06 BF mk2, I have a suspicion that it has the BA style fuel tank rather then the FG. How can I tell which one it is? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to use the later style swirl pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to use the later style swirl pot?Yes, it is however the swirl pot needs to be adapted to the early style top outlet.We have them available if you get stuck.

I understand that the extra hose goes to a vapour lock/charcoal canister. Can that just be eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The utes have the third outlet for the canister.Regardless we have a correct set up for you car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around 420rwkw (130mph) on e85, and currently running a walbro 400lt in my standard cradle but I get fuel surge in high gears with 1/2 tank if fuel. I'd like your twin pump setup as I'd rather not go for the external surge, will this be possible in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You can easily obtain one s/hand very cheap.)In this way you can utilise the Streetfighter Twin intank set up. This would still be a perfect set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, what volume of fuel does the streetfighter twin pot hold? I.e. What is it equivalent too in comparison to an external surge setup. I'm assuming it is a larger volume to the standard swirl pot, and that is why it stops the surging? Have you used it in a drag racing application?
