i saw these a while ago but cant remember where,
basically its a swirl pot that you can fit under your bonnet with a built in fuel pump
anyone know where you can get them from or more importantly are they any good ?

I have a Sard pot that takes an in-tank pump. Had it ages and decided not to use it. Bit big but very well made.
If you're interested, do a search and make me an offer

You need a pot with 4 spouts, one at the top, one at the bottom and the other two equallyish spaced in the wall.
Bottom one goes to the new pump and from there to the rails.
One side is return from rails via reg.
Other side one is feed from the regular lift pump i.e. fuel supply.
Top is return to tank.
If it's an in pot pump, then that spout goes to the rails, others remain the same.

That's it. Bosch 044 is favoured for Scoobies and cossies, don't know which you'll need on your Golf, unless you've shoe-horned the v3 lump into it
