Re: Fuel System. In tank or external? Baffling etc..

And to add to this prior to this tank I had a poly blazer tank mounted in back with an external pump. First it didn't look very good as it hung down quite a bit and I did have a pump go out on me. I had been on the power tour and was returning home so it had been stressed quite a bit with the heat. My trip home was 15 or so hours of straight driving and about 10 hours into it i started fighting it. I had to make several stops the rest of the trip for cool down but I did drive it home with no real problems. I swapped the pump until I could afford a nice tank.
Like others have said I think the in-tank pump is the best way to go It keeps cooler.
I have had this swap in for 11 or 12 years so either will work.
