The "solution" is to install a sump in your tank - or switch to a tank with a sump.

I have an Accel Gen 7 system... and my tank is a Rock Valley SS 25 gallon custom version I had built... BUT at the time I was running a carb...

When I switched to EFI I put a bung in the bottom of the tank... and you'll get a good laugh at this - I put it at the FRONT of the tank and it should have been at the BACK of the tank (you can coast downhill but need fuel to go up a hill... right?). So I pulled the tank, YESTERDAY, as a matter of fact - to install a sump at the REAR where it should be and I should have done this 5 years ago. I've been very careful to not run the tank below about HALF so that I don't suck air.. or if I head up a steep grade - I don't uncover the pickup point in a low fuel situation. DUMB of me... but I'm fixing that now.

THE EZ EFI is assuming you're going to use the stock factory fuel tank - and it has a draw from the bottom of the tank (like a straw in a glass)... and you add a return 'port' (thru the sender which can be taken out of the tank cleaned and welded on or drilled etc). Their kit has an IN LINE fuel pump and filter... but you're going to have to plumb in a return line. THE RETROTEK/PROJECTION system uses a pump controller - and is returnless... because they just crank down the pressure when idling etc...
