Swirl Pot Size

[nelmo]

Is there an optimum size for a swirl pot? Any advantage to a bigger one?

 

I believe the GBS one is 1L but reading RichardL's blog, i think he used a 2L?

I put a 2ltr pot in the boot due to the reasons above, ie, "2 litres of fuel Sat in a hot engine bay and more liable to damage in a front end bump". 2ltr was a tenner more than 1ltr, some cheap ones on Ebay, mine looks homemade but has been ok for a year so far.

must be size and location for a very good reason ?

Swirl Pot size is not of great concern to be honest

Unless you plan to race on a circuit with very long sweeping bends

My 1 litre works well and also meant when 1 pump gave out I could plumb the remaining direct from the tank to get me home

Great - thanks all. Compromised and ordered a 1.5L

Think more of efficiency over under bonnet bling.
