EFI fuel tank / pump questions

I used a NWMP 23 gallon fuel tank. I needed to add a return fitting and I wanted to upgrade to a larger tank, so it made sense.
You can use the stock fuel tanks, but you need to install a return port in the sending unit or filler neck. It is pretty easy to do if you, or you know someone, who can gas weld or braze.
As for the pump, I used a Federal Mogul P74028 high pressure pump (I believe is is a late 80's Ford truck application).
I used a P4594 pusher pump to feed the high pressure pump. It mounts back near the rear fuel tank. My high pressure pump is mounted on the passenger frame rail, up near the transmission crossmember. There is also a couple of companies offering the oversize fuel tank with the electric pump in the tank.
Some of the guys running this setup claim that being immersed in fuel helps cool the pump. The downfall is having to drop the tank to replace a failed pump (usually full of fuel ). I have ran my setup for over 4 years without a pump failure. And it is easily accessible to change if it does.
