[DeTomaso] fuel injection fuel pump in gas tank

I would think that a deep tank like the Pantera tank is a lot less susceptible to the inlet sucking air than most flat wide gas tanks?  Do the folks at tanks know what a Pantera tank looks like?  Can you position the pump with the inlet very close to the floor?

 Subject: [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
