Coated all exposed steel parts with this stuff.   https://www.kbs-coatings.com/tank-sealer.html   Amazing shit. I didn't get it applied smooth as I would like .Brushed it on. Didn't know if spraying would work but I feel it would after doing this part. Seems to be the only one on the market that is fully e85 resistant. Pics of the 12V passthru terminals I made from 6/6nylon and stainless fasteners and nuts/washers.Nylon heat shrink on terminals. Nylon zip ties. SS worm clamps.Viton bladder to tank to filler plate gaskets . Nylon insulated wiring. In other words,every piece in this is e85 proof,or at least damn close.

U B correct! I figured the flattened end would help break up the returning stream of fuel to the sump area. I didn't show the sump/fuel "corral" that goes around the pickups to help keep fuel available for pick up.

Had my tank off the truck welding the bung on (hey I didnt blow up  ;D) and the return while its some silicon rubber stuff is shape the same way.

Cool idea on the 12volt pass thru.  I found the wires melted once in my truck fuel tank when the pump went out; kinda scary.

The mount tabs on the bottom of your hanger... I recall you saying this was to mount a slosh/sump type wall to keep fuel in the pickup area.. Any pics of this configuration by chance? I loose fuel under accel after 1/4 tank, going to need to remedy this.

Also, feed and return... It looks like an AN8 feed and AN6 return. This is the size I run in the Ranger. I have read that this is plenty for my power goal, but some have speculated that the return should be the same as feed if you experience pressure creep (I am not with the 340lph pump but will be going to a 450lph Walbro, same you are running here)

Thoughts on this?

No pics of the sump "corral".  I have no pressure creep if running one pump but when I turn on both I see about 5psi higher. I wouldn't worry if running one pump. IF I see need to run both pumps at once, I'll make return a -8.

FWIW , I would seriously consider the Holley Hydramat instead of the corral.

Funny you mention that! I just ordered an 8"x3" for the 11mm lock flange that the Walbro 450 and most other pumps use. Still having sticker shock from the purchase but the prices have been coming down on the stuff..
I figure it would be a better solution to building a corral or sumping the factory tank.
