I thought about that but there is a siphon on the drivers side of the tank. And since the fuel starve only happens on a right hand turn, that siphon never goes dry (which blows me away because from the pics it looks like left hand turns should fuel starve). if you tee'd into that siphon and ran a line to the passenger side and kept it low to the floor just like the hard line I'm talking about, I'd find it hard to believe the passenger side of the tank goes 100% dry with a line touching the floor. I don't know, I guess I have to pull it apart because I can't see why right hand turns are the issue, seems like lefts would be.

Even after having seen it up close and installed it (twice!), I still don't fully understand Phunk's system, but it's complicated and it seems to work in all conditions, so I don't care how it works as long as it works ![]() It puts a surge can and secondary pump in the driver's side, and runs 3 hoses back and forth between that and the factory pump on the passenger's side, and also involves some modifications to the internal hoses on the factory pump module (which also has a very small reservoir area). Others have backyard-engineered other systems with other tradeoffs (including pumps with pickups in the all the corners of the tank, cutting the tank in half so there's nowhere to hide the fuel from the pump at, etc. I'm sure you can make something else work cheaply if you want, but there's always tradeoffs...
