[Diy_efi] EFI lift pumps to swirl pot?

[Lee M. Lemoine]

With a 225 L/h pump in the tank, (which i can only assume is high pressure)
what is the purpose of the pot?   I'd think that any TBI fuel pump could
fill up a reservoir tank (which if i am correct, a swirl-pot is)....  and
then put a high pressure fuel pump in there...

Just confused as to the 'need' for one.
