65 Dart gas tank leak

A couple of questions, is your fuel outlet on the bottom of your tank and where did you get your tank?

Yes and Hot Rod City Garage. Bolt in.

The main related issue is that it is best to put the pickup in a sump so that the pump doesn't suck air when the fuel is low and sloshes around. Next best thing is a surge pot surrounding the pickup.

Hot Rod Cities tanks are internally baffled.


The problem being is the outlet of the pickup is almost at the top of the tank and the pickup goes up first about 6 inches then follows the contour of the frame down to where I have the pump mounted. The mechanical pumps suck/pull the fuel out of the tank and the electric I have pushes the fuel rather than suck, correct?

I wouldn't get too carried away with the push pull deal and electric pumps. Try bench testing one sometime. It's not as extreme as you'd think. It's more about the restriction on the inlet side.
