Using a fuel pressure regulator and return line.

  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
