Default SC300 fuel tank

hey guys I was wondering If there are lines running under the car that connect to the bottom of the fuel tank???

I searched and couldnt find this answer so I thought Id ask. I have a friend giving me a spare fuel tank and I am wanting to sump it for a fuel system setup.

You can use the rear side of slosh box as the sump. Mount a fitting in the side w/ a pick up
nipple/ sock in the middle of the box. Then run a hose along the bottom to get out of the tank.

Been running that set up w/ an external pump for 10 years now.

I never liked the idea of fuel lines being run inside the trunk

Edit found the pics
