Hector at Ricks was great and did that along with a narrowed tank AT NO EXTRA COST-FREE! kud dos to Hector. Unfortunately, same problem. At low levels the pick up will starve.
I am going to ask Hector to build a tank with a sump and place the pickup in the sump. This is how the Factories do it and it would not require any extra tanks.
I have talked with Tyler at ATS and he stated they did not have any problems with their Ricks tanks and Bosch pumps. They run a dead head system like in Bad Penny. Wonder if Steve has any issues?

I would have think it would have been documented here by Steve if he had fuel tank issues, but then again maybe not....
Yeah I have spoken to Tyler about the same thing. Have not heard of many having the issues you are speaking of with these aftermarket tanks. Only with stock tanks.
Please keep us posted with what you decide to do and how it works out.
thanks
