So I can get a fuel cell to fab everything and then worry about the fuel system.

That is a nice tank but a little to price at this point 50 grand in parts and the wife is ready to kill me so I guess a aluminum cell from summit is the way to go.

Hey Mike, didn't the RamJet come with a regulator on the fuel rail return? Maybe I am reading to much into the other posts. Anyway you can get a Bosch in tank pump, hang a sock on the inlet and attach it to the original pickup in the tank. Plumb the outlet of the pump through the original pickup/sender bulkhead and use the original pickup as the return. Is this some sort of package you bought ready to go? This install is very simple. What kind of vehicle?
