Ordered the walbros!!! 3 to be exact.1 Midship on both sides of the tank and 1 right in the middle, lowest point of the tank is the plan. Should work, I think?

Sounds like you have a good plan ... what happened to not being able to fit your arm in the cell?

With all the expense and headache of three pumps you should have just called Ricks and had them build you a SS tank imo, they are around 1000.00 but it ends all problems and you can run one pump plus the SS will never rust. I had one of their tanks in my old car and they are top notch.

Its not 3 pumps, its 3 pick-ups....for a total of 78.00. I figure another 50 bucks for fittings. I wish i had the funds for a 1000.00 tank, but my budget is blown at this point and if this will fix my problem, its all good.

OK guys, i did it and pending a road test with a support vehicle , im calling it a success. This pic is my car with 2 gallons of fuel. The gauge is reading empty at this angle and reads 1/8th on level ground. Why is this important you may ask? Because this same hill would stall my engine with the factory pick-up and a 1/4 tank of fuel. It there is enough interest I will do a build thread. I have pics as I went along.
