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....

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.
