According to some, a 1/2" pipe tap can be threaded into the stock drain plug 
boss, so ithe tank really doesn't need to be welded - or even removed. Just 
make sure the stack of fittings hanging down like an udder doesn't become the 
low point on the car. Hitting something with such an adaption would likely tear 
the bottom out of the thin tank- and you've already been a "flamer". I would 
pull fuel from the top either thru a line added to the filler neck like Chris 
Darling did years ago, or by using a '73 fuel-out gauge sender. Th stock banjo 
fitting can then be the return fuel line. Or look at Dave Doddek's hookup for 
a blown 4.6-with-EFI in your POCA News. FWIW- J DeRyke
