Message: [QUOTE="DZL JIM, post: 878683, member: 153"] FYI I would never sump a tank like that. Over time the vibrations that fitting experiences WILL break the steel around it causing it to leak. It's not IF but WHEN. The proper way to install a sump would be to get one of the larger diameter billet alum sumps like what Bean's sells (they sell them for a reason). Or, if you are set on building your own, start by welding a large diameter washer to the tank (3" or 4" diameter), then a smaller one, and so on, until you have a hole to install the bulkhead fitting. This will disperse the load across a wider area of the tank and essentially eliminate any cracking. [/QUOTE]
