You getting fuel surge mate?

I don't see why you would need anything bigger than a litre, but if you can get a two litre one for similar money it can't do any harm.

Had a bit of fuel stavation when the tank was getting low

with a swirl pot like that would I be right in thinking you'd need another fuel pump, low presure one to fill the pot and a high presure one to do the rest. I changed my fuel tank last year to get away from fuel stavation with a built in pot, its now much better.

Correct, you would need a low pressure lift pump like a facet red top or similar to get the fuel into the pot and then something inline to feed the injector rail a Bosch 044 or similar. If you are getting fuel starve on low level, you would be better off baffling the tank or filling it with foam, or dare I say keep it a little bit fuller.
