That almost looks like a standard inline fuel pump with some custom fittings. Is that a kit you just made your own tank for or did you piece it together? nice job on spliting the tank. Very clever.

It's an SMC kit. Steve has a plastic welder and was able to cut and reseal the tank. I'm really happy with the results. I'll let you guys know how it runs when I get her installed in a few weeks.

I like the SMC kit, may even be using it on a nitrous application soon...Too bad the plastic wouldn't hold up to high octane gasoline!. Seems like a good kit, compoenents and all.
