Fuel surge tank

[dbv8]

I am considering upgrading my fuel system. The TVR has a very basic built in baffled part at the tank bottom. I have a Bosch 044 with the adapters for standard 8mm fuel lines to the fuel rail.

Any recommendations on a surge tank set up?
I am currently looking at a surge tank with inbuilt walbro pump and to use the 044 as the lifter pump. I also am thinking of refitting the original fuel pump on a second tank outlet to feed the nitrous system independently.

What do we think?

Layout is largerly dictated by space available, and whether you want to keep things simple or not.

I'd prefer to run a dry shot, with the ecu/injectors taking care of additional fueling.

But certainly if you get a swirl tank that accepts an in-tank pump, that does reduce the amount of fittings, and keep things a little tidier.

Edelbrock has a nifty little tank with a pump in it as a kit. It is aimed at the modification community to convert previously carbed cars to injection.

Looks like it is specifically aimed at dead end rail systems

There dont appear to be any options for a fuel return, and the regulator seems to be internal.
Quite a neat little piece, but it is clearly expecting the supply pump to be a low pressure carb type as it's using some sort of float switch to control it.

Not clear if that is a mechanical valve float or electrical switch to turn off a pump. But it would work fine for a n/a application

However what they've done bending the inlet filter sock through 90deg at the pump inlet..doesnt look like a smart idea.

looks good but expensive on my opinion, Summit show it as $565
