My app problem was... it is very difficult to fit two (2) Walbro 255lph pumps into the stock bucket. I have re-designed the bracket arrgt. to fit thru the stock tank access hole. Works good, but no bucket. What is really needed is a sump on the tank. Maybe I will weld one in some day, or go to a fuel cell. But, 1/4 tank fill will not starve the top pump with hard corner, and, I have a road course suspension. HTH B. (97ss 383ci D1 MM6)

My sled uses the same principal of a fuel bucket- the tank is half under the seat to obviously its tough to keep fuel in one spot for the pump to pick up. There is a low pressure pump that fills up the bucket in the tank, the high pressure pump sits in the bucket and feeds the sled with the needed fuel- (its fuel injected- 1000cc 180hp motor)

I suppose someone could always go that route if necessary to fill up a fuel bucket if the return line wasn't able to do it, or trying to build a different bucket that fit the twin pumps and used a small low pressure pump to keep it full of fuel- just make sure the top if open for fuel to spill over- if someone isn't getting enough fuel flow to keep the bucket full, prolly between the return line and a small aux pump it would...but that is prolly strictly for the big fuel system guys...
