With very little knowledge of what the internals of the fuel tank looks like, which one would you get Luke?

This is assuming you will get one( if you don't already have a surge tank).

I have a surge tank and so I do not feel that I need to buy one of these to put in my car.

am pretty sure that the back of the tank has some form of any swirl risers or something to that effect in the tank.

This would affect your decision on which one to buy. Also the fittings size is the other thing that would affect your choice?

what size is the pickup hose?

No idea, you seem to be quite conversant on the inner workings of the tank so perhaps you could research it and inform us?

I'm happy with my current setup, just thought others could benefit from this

I can see this being a huge improvement, especially on older cars.

I've always disliked the idea of filling up the boot with an anti-surge fuel system on a street car.

The other application I immediately thought of was for motorcycles, in fact my Enduro bike which seems to run out of fuel with 300ml left in the tank because its lower than the pickup.

BUT.......like has already been said "if it works and lasts".

If so then it's a game changer.

Not compatible with methanol/diesel/oils.

No information on maximum flow rates that I can find, Id question whether it could potentially become a bottle neck at some point, I guess that's why some are available with multiple outlets?

Also the return line should be mounted above the pickup no more than one inch away, so obviously the wick is a restriction and the best flow is achieved near the pickup, meaning the flow is potentially different across the mat depending where the fuel has sloshed to.

Thinking about it more though it really shouldn't matter if the return line is correctly located.
