So I'm doing a twin pump set up and to I cut the bottom off of the bucket.... Was this a bad idea? I've seen others do it but after I did, I cringed . If it's bad I'll buy a new bucket

Depends on what you mean by bad. IMHO yes it's bad. Now you run the risk of fuel starving the pumps of fuel if the tank gets too low and/or you accelerate too hard.

The only reason why I thought it was fine at the moment was because you would have to cut two holes regardless to let the bottom of each pump stick out. So that's why I thought it didn't matter. But the reasons you said it was bad was exactly what I was thinking and why I posted this

I'm not sure what pump setup you went with but I've never had to cut holes in the bottom of a bucket. You might want to look for a way to seal those holes.

I have the racetronix dual 340s. Do you guys think I should just buy a new bucket?
