what about fumes? my tank is a emissions tank and has fittings all over it and I put my return line to the one on the filler neck and it works. But I do have gas smell, but i had that carbed or efi. its the problem with having the tank inside.
I am assuming with the emissions style tank there is enough venting going on b/c I do not run into a problem or my gas cap doesnt seal 100% and allows enough venting.

I am using the stock pickup and do not have a problem, or at least I do not think I have a problem, if the system stays primed I do not think there should be an issue.
The only issue I have is that about every 4th key on, the thing will drive fine until you mash it, it down shifts but its lean and will not go any where, I can turn it off and start it back up and all is fine, till the 4th key on. If that was cavitation would it be OK right after turning it off and turning it back on? I think its in the tuning somewhere, which I have went thru several times and can not find anything....
