In Tank FI Pump Solutions?

Understood Lee.

IMO the remaining risk areas here are how well the nitrile-impregnated gasket and the wiring pass-through tolerate exposure to liquid fuel over time. Both are engineered for a top-tank installation. We'll see.

I suppose I've volunteered to be the guy that finds out.

No leaks overnight. I used the pump to empty the tank and installed it in the car.

It's 20 degrees out and snowing. When my feet warm up I'll go back out and power the pump up and make sure it makes pressure.

Side note: After pumping out the tank, there wasn't more than a dribble left. That mat really works.

Success. A little noisier than I expected but it shouldn't be audible over the engine sound.

So ... my clamped-hose strategy didn't work too well. As soon as I drove around the yard the tie-rod knocked the outside hose off. It was sticking out about 40mm from the bulkhead. Too far as it happens.

New approach: This has a stickout of only 25mm.

Plumbing got cleaner too.
