I am currently working on this issue with the turbo Manta for Carlisle, and had to order some special one-way check valve fuel pickups. I'll run three of them, one in the center of the tank, and one at each far side, so that no matter what, one is always submerged in fuel. EFI pumps can NOT be allowed to suck air, or the pressure falls and the engine will run lean. Most factory tanks are baffled or have some sort of built-in swirl pot.

Hi Bob,
That's what I remember hearing as well, about the baffles and such. Since I'd really rather not have to take the tank out, what are my options?
Will my idea of using a large fuel filter work?
Thanks,
Manny
