I don't know the answer there. but the jet pump thing basically works to help keep the swirl tank full. it's ALSO fed from the left side of the tank so it's not just the little jet pump thing from the right side.

I have a stock pump assy sitting on my workbench if you want photos, but it'll have to be tomorrow since I have some plans today and tonight.
Thanks for the clarification.

I am good on pics but thanks, I have another OE fuel basket assembly too. I am just going to run a second fuel basket on the sender side to feed the stock basket setup essentially. The only thing I have been working on is how I would automatically switch it on. If I run the car this year, I was just going to run it on a manual switch and have a motor controller run it at a lower duty cycle.
