| I would like to know what this fuel line is connecting too. I am on about the one that is going through the fire wall from the swirl pot, not the line that goes out of the picture as that is the fuel pump. Thank you please

| When any car is driven hard on the track, if the fuel tank is not full, the fuel can slosh around in the tank under hard acceleration, deceleration and cornering. What can occasionally happen, is that the fuel will flow away from the pickup, and the pick-up will pick up air, causing fuel starvation and lean running. This is very bad for any engine, so it should be avoided at all costs. Something which can be done when upgrading your fuel system is using a swirl pot. A low pressure high flow pump is used to feed fuel into the swirl pot which acts as a reservoir. Up to two high pressure pumps can be fitted inside this swirl pot to feed the injector rail(s).
