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....

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

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