Am going for a boot mounted swirl pot setup while doing my engine conversion so I don't have to cut and weld my tank.. This is what I have so far.
Low pressure filter, low pressure pump to swirl pot. Then high pressure filter to high pressure pump that will go to the rail.
I have found that the in for the high pressure pump is 12mm, which I hadnt realised because the out is 8mm, as is everything else and I must have just not checked it..
Can I just run a line reducer in backwards between the filter and the pump?
I am assuming not, as surely the pump will be trying to pull in the capacity of 12mm hose when its coming from 8mm.. Would the gap just fill itself or would it cause some sort of negative space where the 8mm goes into the 12mm and there isnt enough fuel there to fill it? I know this is probably a stupid question to most of you, but I genuinely don't know so I have to ask. And if the answer is no I will have to get a new filter and a different swirl pot with a 12mm out? (or maybe put the filter on the other side of the pump?)
