The stock pump effectively only pulls from one side of the tank with a big hump (over the drive-shaft) allowing all of the fuel to slosh sway from it. Phunk's product adds a second pump with its own second pickup on the other side of the tank. This second pump is in addition to the stock pump and lives inside a beautiful billet aluminum surge can. The new assembly is entirely contained within the stock fuel tank and the plumbing to the engine isn't changed. There is also some well engineered plumbing that goes on inside the tank to ensure long term reliability of the stock pump.

--A very happy customer.

Ahh thanks.

Wouldn't it be easier to just Tee a line in the tank so the pick up sucks from both sides at the same time? When turning right the one line goes dry but the others still submerged in fuel sucking it up? Or external sump that's always being filled and where the engine pulls from. I found the install, looks like a lot of work.
