I have seen it done many times but have also seen more than enough crack and leak. You are also pulling fuel from a very flat bottom of a tank with no baffle in it.

I was plagued with leaks & eventually I threw it away. I have heard guys like above that say they have no problems but I couldn't make mine work. I tried for over one year.
I daily drive mine & it would stay good for quite a while then start to seep.

What kind of bulkhead fitting did you use?
I had a magnafuel one that had two metal washers with rubber o-rings built in that fit under each nut, inside and out.
I know some of the cheaper bulkhead fittings just use a nylon or delrin washer in place of that, and i could see that being harder to get to seal up right.

Bringing this one back from the dead.
Is there any alternative to fuel slosh when doing this? Can foam blocking be used in tank to help? Wonder if thats even compatible with E85?
Thanks.
