Re: Fuel pickup line

Steve, Sorry to be so long in getting back to the group on the new 
fuel pick up line and baffle. I have an extra new fuel tank that I 
have been working with, and yes your thought was valid. So, I got the 
tank out and looked at it again. It's flat. Only the pitch of the car 
itself is what is going to make the gas go futher to the back of the 
tank or not. The old baffle and or pick up screen was about 3/4 of 
the way to the back. Yes, you will have to pay attention for the 
different reading as to the amount of fuel you have, but honestly it 
shouldn't get that low. The new pick up is almost even with the 
sending unit and I would think give a even more accurate reading in 
relationship to it.
But, that wasn't the reason I designed the system. 
The reason I did it was for people complaining about the expensive 
pick up line, the collapsing of the line and starving the system for 
fuel. Also, heat and pressure has a lot to do with the old line. 
I feel all I have done is bring the system upto date with more modern 
cars set up now where the pump,baffle,filter and sending unit are all 
in one costing $100.00's of dollars. The problems we have had in the 
past won't happen with my new set up. All I have done is eliminated a 
lot of problems. Look at what I put on the front page of the site.
