I did manage to find a -6 roll-over vent, and I'm thinking that it's going to go dead center towards the rear in the tank so it's under the least amount a pressure and will let the least amount of fuel out from sloshing. Then it would have to travel through 4ish feet of -6 line and up 10ish inches before it manages to get out of the vent. Same setup as the stocker tank with the stock vent, and I never had any fuel escape that way. We'll try it and see what happens. I agree 100% though Todd, I'm not liking that it will allow fuel out from sloshing.

The intank surge tank idea is what's really killing the height. I'm going to have the material bent into an L, twice so one piece will be a top and a side, and another will be a bottom and a side. I'll cut a circle into the top and drop a cylinder down into it and weld a flange on the inside. Then continue the cylinder down to the floor of the tank. That will be the surge tank. The Bosch will just drop in and bolt to the internal flange. Before I weld the sides on, I'll have some L channel to weld to the surge tank and to the floor to really keep the whole damn thing in place.

If I were to put the fittings onthe side of the surge tank, internally, I think it would be very difficult to get both the pumps in and out. If they are on the top, I can just undue the hoses, unbolt the cartridge and pull the entire assembly out. I can use some 90* bulkhead connectors for almost all of them accept the vent, that needs to be a welded bung and a 90* fitting otherwise the fitting dropping down into the surge tank won't allow all of the air to be evacuated from the surge tank.

My REAL problem is the connectors that I've been able to find. I have not been able to source a sealed bulkhead connector rated for fuel that connects on a 90* angle. If I could find that I'd be able to drop the height down considerably. The connector that I have from Fuel Safe requires ~2-2.5" of clearance above it. That's what's really killing me.

Let me know how I can help Todd, I'll be more than happy to. The whole blow-through, dizzy setup sounds really badass, and really simple. Even the theme that you told me about sounds great.
