1 pump, 2 pumps, 3 pumps..... they all could fail. And when they fail they dont always fail completely... it could be really lacking volume and only noticable when the demand is high, so a 1 big pump could be unnoticable just like 3 pumps and one bad.. Ive had big race pumps fail....they are not immune to failure. Anything can fail. ****... an airplane could crash on me while driving home. Anything can happen.

yes i put a bulkhead in the bottom of my tank with a -12 90* fitting to a magnafuel 4303 mounted to the underside of the T-top well. it hasnt leaked a drop in two years. i did machine some large washers because the bulkhead didnt have enough lip to make me comfortable. then i sandwiched it tight with JB weld between. Additionally, i bent my stock sending unit float up so 1/4 of a tank show empty. if i run it below a 1/4 and take a hard corner the fuel pressure with drop a little and cavitate.

yea i never heard that. mostly i hear the bulkhead leaking or the stock tank cracking where u cut the hole. i put mine in the middle where the stock basket would be. i also dont run it too low, one for sloshing but mainly because the bigger pumps heat the fuel, so i try to keep it full. 12-14gals of E85 doesnt last long, it would be simialr to 7-10 gal of gas. so if i get 100 miles on a tank, that would be great.
