Swirlpot |
A Swirlpot is a small tank which holds a small amount of
fuel. When you go round a bend or brake hard, the fuel moves to the side
of the tank and the pump sucks in air, this causes the engine to
heseratetion. If a swirlpot is fitted, when the fuel moves to the side of
the tank the engine will take fuel from the swirlpot, eliminating any
heseratetion. |
