because its run from a alloy tank = inline needed, also all the reserch ive done says use lo pressure to feed the swirl pot.

from a alloy tank so you don't use the original petrol tank ?? never herd of anyone that use a low pressure pump to feed a swirl pot the surplus petrol goes back to the tank, and you want the swirlpot full all the time..

secure fuel flow to the engine in high cornering or high acceleration,normaly used on track cars and high output engines as you dont want to run low on fuel..
