[DeTomaso] What Positions the gas tank, and Short Fuel Filler Hose ID?

[Julian Kift]

Ken,

With an in-tank pump that will sit in the bottom of the tank and all you should have exiting is a -8AN Aeroquip or similar bulkhead fitting if the pump is pressure regulated internally, even if regulating externally it would just add a -6AN return line fitting?

Is alignment of the filler attached to tank, and the tubing it connects to, what determines the position of the tank?  No other exact positioning features?

Looks like 2.25 inch ID, but I assume was metric?

Having Hall Pantera build a SS tank for an in-tank EFI pump and need to provide enough flat surface for the pump flange.  Need to measure the flat surface in ahead of the strap for the pump flange.  Because the strap is positioned by the body, need to correctly position the tank to see how much space there is.

Can any one conveniently measure how much flat top gas tank surface for the pump flange is ahead of the strap before the first bend?

Thanks,

Ken
