I run one in my boat, Its the complete fuel pump, with fuel gauge and smart pick-ups. I don't have any pics of it right now, but its a really clean set-up.

So far this is the least expensive in tank I have found. http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd227.htm It's certainly not long enough, and I don't care for the pump zip tied to a plastic tube. But it's nothing that can't be modified safely. The only question is with the wire mounting. If it doesn't have studs I won't splice wires in a tank. Making new sillicone wires is no biggie.... It seems that the most expensive part of making a bulkhead pump mount myself is the wire fittings. Hermetically sealed electrical studs run from 50- 200$ I still need to call a few places but at this point to make one would run about 300$ Pluss the time to weld everything up. So it's probley going to be an external unfortunately. But the search continues lol....

Just some more heavier/wider zip ties would work.

Most if not all OEM use an epoxy for thru fittings. In the past I have used Devcon and it has worked amazing for wire pass thru. I'm lucky enough to work in the OEM and had Walbro make me a one off pump to fit my tank.
