well what was i gonna do with the fuel supply.. been rackin my brain for days.. i didnt want a fuel cell in trunk like i did before.. i wanted to oringinal tank back in the car.. more trunk space.. etc.. so i came up with a redneck solution.. I do a lot of a/c work for houses.. so i choped up a r-22/freon can in half..And going to cut/weld in a 1/2 inch coupling in the can.. it'll work for a fuel sump.. dont kno how low its gona hang .. and for the top im using a cap,incase i have to add another 255 walbro in there ..or change out old one. i used some shet metal of old air handler..i scraped awhile ago...i had to have a flat surface to mount the cap..i can still use the original sending unit.. im debating on making a removable trap door above the freeon tank.. i could easily remove two bolts , from access where cap is ..to work on adding/removing fuel pumps.. i should have this welded up real soon,, when my buddy lets me use his welder.. i need to buy one !!!

Since you cut the hole slightly smaller than the freon can, it might work a little (creates an area for the gas to stay in). The Comp Engineering sum kit tell you to just drill multiple large holes to let the gas fall into the sump. But, it seems what you did will work.

Kudos to you for creating, not buying!

i was thinking,,next one i make..i will cut several small holes.and two just big enough for the pump to fall into.... we ended up brazing it ..his welder was acting up..
