Tom, why did yous elect a 20 gallon tank in the first place? That's the
question beng resolved. If can lay some reasoning on me I'll put it into
the data hopper. Trying to develop a set of curves or simple equation to
start a newbie in the right direction. What size of pump were you using
(flow in gpm)? Pipe size? Were you running alcohol?
As to pump, there are several that mount inline rather than at the normal
pump place. Shogun comes to mind and I think Dedenbear also makes one.
Shogun Industries 800-527-5665.
Can probably find others in National Dragster, Muscle Mustangs $ Fast
Fords, Circle Track, etc.
