[QUOTE="hittinboost, post: 11171206, member: 92025"] The glenns pickup tube doesn't look bad but there's other reasons to go with a sump, other than it's looks :) First and foremost is it moves the fuel pickup from the center of the tank to the rear so when you accelerate it actually moves the gasoline (or e85 in your case) TO the pickup rather than AWAY from it. Fuel starvation = bad, you'll never starve a sump. Looks like the glenns pickup tube kits run with either one, two, or three pumps, call me crazy but I'd rather have one pump and be done with it. Keep it simple has always been a tried and true concept. Another reason (more for drag racing) is you can run lower fuel levels without worry of starving the basket or pickup tube, you can run you car with 30-40lbs less fuel in it. I know we're not ricers but everyone loves a little weight savings :) There's a reason why almost all high hp cars are running a sump with an external. Glenns actually sells a tank with an internal sump, but iirc it's pretty pricey. [/QUOTE]
