Wow, man its a shame to stick that thing under the car. Looks like something that should be used in a nuclear power plant

With all those lines I assume you are going to hook up the EVAP system?

Ricks Hot Rod Shop did all the fabrication/building. My layout on the dual Bosch pumps,filters,Evap,etc. kp has great eyes....the tank was designed for EVAP to keep it 100% emissions legal...but, until I try it out it's all based on my assumptions as to how EVAP works...so who knows....I've trial fitted the tank and EVAP to the car and everything "looks" ok....time will tell.

Honestly I can care less about EVAP for emissions LOL, we have not testing at all here. But when you park your car in a garage thats attached to the house and the entrance is in the kitchen you appreciate a working evap setup. Plain vent and your whole house will be stinking like gas after a while, especially if you use race gas

So is the big cylinder for the EVAP (pardon me, I have no idea about the intricacies of the EVAP system), or is it a swirl tank in which the pumps sit in. If it is a swirl tank, are you pumping fuel into it with another pump to keep it full? Is that not needed with the tank inside the main tank?

They do a visual for air, cats, etc where I live...they have talked a lot about roller tests but it has not happened. Buddy garages are having a hard time passing anything that looks hacked nowadays...afraid of the fines involved.
