Im looking into making a in tank baffle system to avoid using swirl pot ,ive seen a set up for a fd3 but only 1 picture
ha anybody got or made anything like this ?
how much do you want to spend- atomicrex do a tank conversion with it foam filled and collector tank inside the tank so you dont need a swirl pot. very very good bit of kit, but coast a bit more than just fitting a couple of baffles
You can get this one newera, think its made by fugi £166 plus the shippo and tax

We do the kit for this if you are interested??
You can buy the full kit from us
Fitted £867.17 + VAT (£997.25) + £50 deposit on sending us your tank
Parts £642.17 + VAT (£738.50)
This come with a collector pot, this is equivalent to a 2L swirl pot, and is filled under acceleration as well as cornering. There is a sock filter situated in the collector pot, and is piped into the internal Bosch 044 pump. And the return is piped back into the collector pot.
SO what comes with the kit:
Collector Pot
Internal Nitrile pipe both high and low pressure
Foam block
Foam inserts to fill tank
Bosch 044 Pump inc fittings
Aluminium bespoke Top plate
2 bespoke brass 90 degree fittings with Barbed ends for hose fittings.
Electrical seal
Wired kit
Top venting pipes and fittings
Fuel Level Probe correct ratings for standard Fuel gauge.
The fuel level probe needs to be changed as unless you want to put a mesh around the standard level the foam will prevent it reading accurately. If you don\'t want this, remove £135.68 + VAT (£156.03)
The motorsport one way valve fitted here is an extra £45 (£49.50)
It probably appears expensive, but with this system you are able to run the tank to below 10L of fuel, and there are no external swirl pots in the boot. Also as all items are in the fuel tank it is a lot safer. There are also no smells within the cabin you normally have with swirl pots.
Plus if you add the costs of putting together a system including fuel pumps, lines, swirl pot, fire guard, you will probably find the cost very similar.

Slingo,
The item you pictured is similar to our own collector pot, ours is £172.50 + VAT
They are made by ATL who make fuel systems for the likes of the F1 teams to name but a few.

Hi Mate,
I bought one of these from RHD Japan made by FEED.
The instuction are all in Japanese but I worked it out from the pic\'s.
Took about an hour to fit, It has a flap like door mechanism on the bottom.

It doesnt just bolt straight in. We hold it in place by placing it in a big cuboid of foam and then filling the rest of the tank with foam also.
We first strip the tank right back, so that it is free to allow fuel to fill the collector. The foam reduces the amount of slosh. If you want to still run the standard level probe, then I can make a mesh guard for you.
