Default Sump on plastic tank?

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but seems fitting

Either way i was wondering if anyone has done a sump on a plastic gas tank before, and if so where did you get it from and how did you go about it? I really dont want to go to a fuel cell and well i just dont trust the transfer pump/stock tank setup.

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks
tommy

If the plastic welding deal works for bonding it then just cut the sump out of a plastic fuel cell.

the surge tank is really an ideal setup, as there will never be fuel starvation if made properly

basically you use two fuel pumps and the first one simply keeps the surge tank full, which is feeding the engine

ill make a diagram for you if you want
