    And also consult your under bonnet temperatures... a litre or 2 of heat soaked fuel is a recipe for detonation IMHO... I would personally steer clear of having volumes of fuel larger than necessary in an engine bay... especially when there are turbos hanging around.

    sorry I havnt replied in a while,
    still yet to test the tank... all welded in and sealed nice.

    The pot has a slit in the back and sits in a second smaller pot (like a dish) which has a a shroud that comes up at the back around the pot, this dish has a slit in it. fuel is able to slosh into the pot but can only drain out slowly. It'll fill up in 1 corners worth of slosh and takes a good 10-30seconds to empty to tank depth.
