I'm running some of those parts, but I am running dual 420L pumps and the drag tank.

Has anyone drilled and installed the bulkhead fitting in the plastic tank? Is it a smart thing to do or should I just go with an aluminum sumped race tank.

Can you make your fuel gauge work with an aftermarket sumped tank?

I have checked into this as well. It seems like the few I have talked with had mixed opinions on the bulk fittings.

I am having a hard time finding someone that makes the sumped tanks.

Nasty Performance is working on one with a sending unit for stock guage, but seems like he is too busy to get it going.

If you find anything, please let me know.

Thanks

I have done one plastic tank with a bulkhead fitting and it worked fine. It is not my personal choice, but it will work. Your guage will also act as normal -- its just a float -- as long as you don't damage it pulling it out.

As for the kit -- I purchased one of them awhile ago and was not impressed. There was not enough line to get from the front to the back for feed and return, and not enough fittings. And when called about the above and also for a general idea of how they preffered to route everything they were no help. I ended up having to spend another couple hundered bucks getting the necessary equipment to finish the job.

We will have the sending units in a couple of days and 7 tanks ready to fly by the end of next week. If you want one they are going fast.
