Thanks for that information. I'm going to use what I have. It looks like I can get the pump lower than initially thought, and I think it's going to be OK. If not, I'll have a couple of options like a check valve to keep fuel in the hose to the pump or replacing the Walbro pump with one better at self-priming.

Thanks again,

Might also be a good idea to add a shutoff ball valve in between the pump and the fuel cell for times you may be replacing the pump. Especially since you are running AN fittings that you can't just kink.

That's a good idea, Cody. I hope I remember it.

Cheers,
Damn! That front slip angle is way too large and the Ackerman is just a muddle.
