Default External Fuel Pump Question
I need to install and external fuel pump to support my SC. I understand I need to drill the tank - where do I drill the tank and where do I get the pickup and seal for the external pump?

Does anyone make a "kit"

Running the A&A kit on my car. Drilling the tank sounds scary but it really wasn't bad. The fuel system was a very easy install.

The ECS plate is much better than just regular bulk head fittings. It also comes with a filtered sock on the pick up side and is less prone to any fuel leaks!
