Come on now. You can do it.

Truth is, if the surge pot is sitting in the tank, you want a little hole in the bottom.

Here's why...

Say you run out of gas. There needs to be a way that by adding just a couple of gallons (soda bottles carried from the gas station 2 miles down the road) will get enough gas into the pot to prime the pump.

I situated my home made venturi pump as low as possible so 2-3 gallons would be enough to get fuel to the pump to start the venturi action.
