Ken,
As much as your answer is a true statement regarding a Pantera tank I kept my response more generic despite the lack of NPC in the title! Maybe I read too much (or too little) into "working on one of my cars", if it had been me I'd have written "one of my Pantera's" if it were such....

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
