Ok, when a better mouse trap is built, we should be accepting of it. So when I found out about an internal fuel pump that is retrofitted into almost any gas tank, I was intrigued. So much so, that I got one. Here is the installation.
Hole cut in the plastic tank and the gasket fit in place to see how it fits.
The two studs you see sticking up are holding a metal ring in place on the inside of the tank until the unit can be bolted on.
This is what the unit looks like. The tray on the bottom is what holds the gas up to the pump, so sloshing gas will not be a problem. This holds enough gas nest to the pump so it won't loose suction.
Working it into the tank.
A closer look at the tray that hold the gas next to the pump.
What you see when it is installed.
The fuel sending unit stays in it's original position so it can send ohms to the fuel gauge. The pick up and return tubes are closed off so there is no gas vapor escaping from the tank.
Pretty cool! Can't wait to see if it works as advertised and is as quiet as they say.
