Hi Wally

The reason that I asked what sort of pump you were using to feed the surge tank / swirl pot is that myself and a friend both had noise and heat issues when using EFI type pumps to fill the surge tank / swirl pot.

My friends pump actually failed. We put it down to cavitation in the pump as it was not restricted with a pressure regulator etc as it would usually be in a EFI set up.

We are both using Carter lift pumps now.

Obviously your car has travelled many kilometres using a pump this way, but it maybe something to consider.

Steve
