The tank was purchased from Brothers Trucks years ago. It showed up with Performance Online stickers and instructions in it. If you go that route, buy it from Performance Online and save you the Brothers markup. It's already baffled, so it'll work well for the electric fuel pump setup. I had a friend of mine that owns a machine shop make the retaining rings.

As for the pump, it's the pump out of the van my engine & trans came from. I did originally buy a pump and regulator from Tanks Inc, but I read somewhere the pump controls the flex-fuel ability. There isn't a fuel composition sensor in the van wiring, so I don't know how else it would be able to sense how much ethanol is in the fuel if it's not in the pump.
Thanks for the info Duane. I am going to weld up my own tank with baffles in it. I was wondering if you used a stock pump "cartridge" with the sender and all? I can make the flange and gasket no problem. I will hit you up more when I get closer. Thanks again.

Yep... I had to cut down the "stand offs" and springs, but otherwise it collapsed into the tank just fine. Here's what it looked like right out of the van.

The green piece is the o-ring gasket. The dark port is the fuel rail feed, the small white port is a vent, the large white is from the charcoal canister. The white parts are from the best I can determine. Since I'm not using the charcoal canister or the evap system, these will be blocked off. My tank has a roll over vent in it already.
