Show me your swirl pot !

Post

Back to the top
Hey

So been having troubles with my fuel - took it all out etc can someone help with my swirlpot.

Where and in what orientation is yours placed? I put my one back and I noticed the pot starts filling with air/only has a little fuel then the pump starts sucking air as the fuel level gets low.

Can anyone advise and show me how their one is placed? It's got that tab that I presume allows it to be located somehow but I can't work it out.

Any help and photos appreciated!

Here is how I have it hooked up at the moment - does this look right?

Answered part of this myself! Finally got hold of a Bentley mag - I had it hooked up wrong!

But I still want to know where the swirl pot should be, can anyone help?

Hey

Have a look at these photos. They're not my car, but I'm planning to fit one once the rebuild starts

Thanks for the photo! Looks like I have the right location! But appears I am missing a clip to hold it

That clip is unobtainium I'm afraid :/ The part number is 533201522 according to https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/golf+cabriolet/goc/1984-44/2/201-68050/#28

Are you sure about those sizes? 
10mm on top back to tank & one to pump? 
I know pump inlet is 12mm & theres a pipe to reduce size but i think it 11mm to 9mm or similar which doesn't correspond
