My petrol tank has a return pipe brazed at the neck and the fuel out pipe leaves from the middle side of the tank. Have only ever seen petrol tanks with the fuel out pipe at the bottom. Anybody come accross this?

Works a treat, just intriques to why someone might do this?

Is your tank full at the minute?

The metro turbo pumps like gravity feed hence having the fuel outlet at the bottom.

I had one with it half way up and when it went below half way it wouldnt get enough fuel on full boost, that was only std too. It would idle all day long though.
