I have done this in my 92 Daytona, but there are some drawbacks, what car are you trying to install this in?

I have been exploring other options too such as:
Adding an external surge tank like this.

A tank conversion kit such as these from Aeromotive and Holley,

All of these have their pros and cons. I'd like to avoid a fuel cell and external pump. I like the idea of a submerged pump for cooling.
I am running into similar issues with my car, but I think that is due to my modified fuel canister, In my experience, none of these cars have a well designed sump that will hold fuel when the tanks is low. The canister design of the newer pump assemblies really helps with this as it creates a sumo, but nothing larger than the Walbro 255 is designed to work in those. Do you have any pictures of your fuel pump assembly?
I have a few ideas that I am looking to try on my own car that may help. I would also share my current project privately with you.
I have no pictures of it. I am using an Airtex hanger/sender assembly. I had to make some modifications to get the 340L in. I should have taken pictures of it when I did it.Quote:

I would be happy to take a look at what you're working on. Thank you.
