Post up some pics of the bracket you build to hold two 50mm denso pumps, I'm sure you'll have something inventive going off the rest of the project so far.. Will be a tight squeeze to fit thru the hole on the tank.

I have installed SARD fuel collector for the pumps. Also i've walbro pump in tank.





In previous setup i had two walbros in tank w/ PHR aluminum fuel pump hanger. Now I keep this nice piece for only one walbro. This hanger is better then stock one for fuel return mod.

Ah ok, I'm with you now. That's gonna be awesome.

I'm got two intank walbro 255's in the SRT double hanger, but my car isn't running yet.

Did you have any problems running dual walbros intank previously? Did they have performance issues, or maybe just to loud? Some people say the walbros whine too loud, and others say they don't. I just wonder what I'm in for once I get the car running?

No, there were no problems, but can potentially be - at considerable speedups on a straight and abrupt turning movements there can be an outflow of fuel and pumps take air - the engine won't forgive it.
I love reliability - "the weapon should be heavy" (c)

Yeah I guess that is a drawback of any in-tank pump setup. I suppose trying to keep a 1/2 tank of gas or better all the time and not letting it run to low is about the only option to try and prevent this from happening.

It's hard to judge the size of that collector from the pics, are you mounting it in the engine bay?
