You can also pull fuel stright out of the front bottom of the tank so there's no gravity to deal with. I put baffles in all my tanks and with the fuel pickups I put a trap around them so they don't get slammed by sloshing fuel but more importantly so you have a sump around it to stop fuel running away from the pickup during cornering and acceleration. I have also started making one way or inline valves for the fill hose to stop sloshing up the fill necks under cornering.
mickmate,
please send some pictures if its not a problem for you. Especially I'm interested in the sump.
Unfortunately, when I bought everything, the Aeromotive Phantom Fuel pump wasn't availible. Otherwise I would buy it.

Blas,
the #799 was a very unlucky car. After I rebuild it completely I had also an accident (not my fault). Then I sold it
