Murphy I just got confirmation on a fix for a slosh/loss of pressure issue on my friends car that we put back together last night. He has an SPF and BB FI motor. What we did was setup a swirl pot type extra tank that holds one gallon. We feed the main pump from there with a -10 line and the return with a -8 back to the pot. We also ran a carb type fuel pump from the main tank to the pot that only has to keep up with the fuel consumption of the motor to keep the pot full and put an overflow line back to the main tank. We also vented both up to the filler neck. He used to starve for fuel at any thing under half tank under heavy acceleration. He ran it this morning with only 5 gallons and it worked perfectly.
