What is the application?
It looks like internal fuel pump is set in lowered cavity to feed from a sump?
Looks pretty and $.

Ok for my 70 charger with stock fill tube a special order a1000 stealth drop in pump...the pump screen is mounted on pump body not on a tube extension like what's shown on aeromotive website...my part number on pump is 11126 and is not shown on aeromotive website the reason for this is because the one with the extension would take up to much depth making my sump to big and i will post a pic of the hot rod city garage tank in attachment...i was going to get a tank built by him but he raised his prices by 100% and was being a Jerk to me quoting me high prices and I'm glad I did not get a tank built by him for many reasons....One my sump would have been too deep and it's flush with back of Tank causing issuies with hotchkis rear sway...next reason is he does not provide a channel at top of Tank for the frame section in floorboard as it would not sit right and be rocking....next reason is that guy will not make it with stock fill tube inlet...you have ro cut your original and use a piece of hose and clamps...and he uses the aeromotive pump with screen attachment and tube extension....plus ricks rounds the body of the tanks...and i got the best sending unit in the buiz... and mounted on the correct side where my wire comes out of floor is....im really happy with the new tank fit perfect and I purchased new double lip mopar seal for fill tube....

Will they build an extended capacity tank? I would love an extra 4-5 gallons if I could get it to fit

Ricks will any size you desire with the provision that with non stock dimensions, fit is the responsibility of the buyer. I had an E body EFI tank made with +1" depth for an extra gallon or so. Stainless straps are longer to compensate and it fits great. I considered making it wider also but fit was tight and I didn't have time for measurement and mock up.

I just put one of these in my car too, but I went with the gen V camaro SS fuel pump module (built in pressure regulator so no return line needed). I really like it so far.

Well I don't know what brand it is but it's called a tube style called the vaporworx..if you use the search engine at jegs by typing ricks tanks you will see it along with the cheaper versions with the floats that ricks tanks sells...the cost is 140 at jegs...

The sending unit is aftermarket and bolts in from the top. Calibration on mine gives a useful but pessimistic fuel gauge with a stock rebuilt OE gauge cluster. The +1" depth probably does not help with fuel gauge accuracy. Mine could use some tweaking of the pickup arm. From memory, cost was ~$1,500 with a Bosch EFI pump good for around 7-800 HP.

are you saying you can calibrate or tweek one of those tube style sending units ? if so, how do you go about doing that ?

I had a tube style sending unit from isspro that I tried in my aluminum drop tank in the Torana...was'nt too happy with it, seemed to read off sometimes and would hang up sort of from time to time it seemed. I went with a float arm style instead and been happy with it.

(My tank is about 120 liters...nearly 32 gallons)

That's an internal baffle on the left in the last pic, and its a foamless system?

Yes, baffles left and right with the venturi siphon pickups. the vaporworx website has some good info on how the pickups work
