when I first wanted to build a surge can setup for this car... my original idea as to build an external style surge can and plumb it as if it were external, but to simply have it hang inside the gas tank on the drivers side... I would have only had to add a level sensor mount for the stock level sensor over there, no big deal, and have an internal mount for a good fuel pump and a connector to get the wiring into the pump and level sensor. This would be the easiest solution.

What I ran into, was that I couldnt think of a great way to get the hoses over to it from the passenger side. I didnt want to go under the car and over the driveshaft... I didnt want to go through the cabin... and I was unable to fish any lines inbetween the gas tank and the chassis above it to have the lines laying across the top of the tank.. and there was no way I was going to make it so you had to drop the tank to do it.

that is how we ended up with that working prototype that mounts over there and has all the plumbing inside the tank.
