[DeTomaso] fuel injection fuel pump in gas tank

I am working on one of my cars to install a fuel injection system.
I purchased a "tanks" electric fuel pump that mounts in the gas tank.
The company tanks is concerned that I don't have a baffle in the tank and
said they will not honor a warranty because they are afraid that the pump
will burn up due to running dry while cornering.

Does anyone have experience with an electric pump in the tank?
should I worry about this?

Second question is I need to extend the electric lines in the tank down to
the pump.
Do I need to get special wires that can handle the fuels or do the std
plastic coated wires work without a problem?

Thanks Rich
