Walt,
there's a pic of the Hooper's tank here - dunno if they're still using
it
You
can see the pump on top of the tank. No idea what the internals are like but I
believe the whole tank was just a welded up box, and not very well done. Mark
Bourne has replaced his with an OEM one.
I
suggest trying a solutino like John Hervey's but use a bettre pickup filter-
they create quite a vacuum in the pickup hose (as I discovered). James RG has
had very good results by taking a cheap in-line filter apart (which has a proper
element) and mounting that to the end of a short pickup hose. I will get around
to this one day. I personally have an in-line filter spliced into the pickup
hose - it cavitates slightly when the fuel is low, and esp on hot days, though
what we get here is nothing compared to you guys. My new tank must've been dusty
inside because the pickup filter I got from Wingray blocked up within 100 miles.
