Don't you want it before the pump? I'm probably not understanding the role of the "slaved to the SVO switch" part. > > I plan on using a Hose ON Hose.

Simple, cheap, safe. By Hose On Hose do you mean simply zip-tying your (poly?) fuel lines to the (poly?) coolant lines to and from your version of the Hot STK? That's what I was planning on doing - only my coolant lines were going to heat the false bottom on the tank - but since Steve (and you) introduced me to the idea of the Hot STK (and Motie pointed out that since it's made for huge truck tanks it should bring out smaller tanks up to close to 170F) I've jumped ship to the Hot STK camp. > > No, but they are pretty basic and could be welded up > cheaply by any welder.

Motie posted about $70. Hard to beat, I'd think - but you're not talking about a casting, obviously.

Couldn't a flange with a Viton (or something similar) gasket be used instead of epoxy - just so you could pull it if you ever wanted to? Craig ------------------------ Yahoo!
