Just a clarification
My tank outlet is below the inlet of the pump, but fluid level in the tank is above the inlet of the pump. (parse that sentence a time or two, lol!)
Matt's right about the hose. Make sure it is vacuum rated to 28" or it can collapse and cause cavitation in the pump. Since ps pumps use the hydraulic fluid for their own lube, an absence of fluid in the pump for even short amounts of time can cause pump failure.
Tony Woodward's tank, hose, and fittings are designed for very harsh environments -- he's a dirt racing guy. Also, the tank is designed to remove air bubbles: when your car is running you can't even see fluid movement in the tank because the turbulence is so low.
