I have seen the diy one using the remote filter kit, but kind of wanted one to hold the pump too for a cleaner install. also is there a small intank pump that fits in the existing hole? maybe do a compression fitting to the existing sending unit tube inside the tank? 65 coronet.

As slow as your cars is (and how rarely you drive it) I don't think you'd have much of a concern anyway. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

I filled it up from empty with around 22 gallons. if I fill it up from empty, I only put in 10. I have gotten as much as 17, if I take it really easy. but that is really hard to do with an on/off switch.

Seems like you'd have longer pump life and no more issues...and you should be able to hide it. '70 Duster 470hp 340/T56 Magnum/8 3/4 3.23 Sure-Grip
