I am thinking of replacing my aftermarket fuel pump with a larger one. When I installed this one, the existing filter/pickup would not fit (pump is a typical Walbro Mustang unit), so I used the sock that came with it. Problem is, if I have less than a half tank of gas, the car runs out of fuel at the racetrack in 1st gear (lot of acceleration :) ). Anybody figure a better way to do this so I can pickup fuel from the bottom of the tank & not 1" above or so (top of sock)? Also, I'll take the P/N for the donut seal for the filler tube. Basically I cannot fill it over 3/4 or it leaks at the seal, but I cannot run less than half a tank on track days or it sucks the fuel line dry :(

The only issue with that kit, is the O-ring that seals the pump hanger.

post 10 is where I left off with this problem I was having... let me know if it helps at all...
Using a walbro 255 in tank with the mustang sock on mine in the tc holder and all is good but i never let the car get down to empty any more due to the tank not being baffled and the possibility of a lean condition.
Did have the pump in before the blower though and it was good right to below the E.
Wow, thanks everyone for all the info!!
Looks like you guys have dealt with this same issue - I'm now sure that I'll get it right the second time around!
