I also cut my hose at a slight angle, as I was told, so that it wouldnt end up flat on the bucket floor and cant suck fuel.
Good question about the compressed height, I think mine is about all the way down. I have to redo it anyway, Ive had a starvation issue once, at idle, that never had happened again. It wouldnt start, for about 1 minute of cranking. Then started and acted fine. But the the feed hose is currently made of 1/2inch heater hose, which needs to be replaced

I've been considering the Denso's too. How are you going to configure the socks in the bottom of the bucket? Are you going to plumb the return into the original venturi port, or just dump it into the bucket?

This is picture of the sender side of the bucket, when you put this in the bucket the sock on the right folds upward like the stock sock so the socks are never overlapping. I kept the stock feed hose from the feed fitting, and since I am using the stock feed line as the return, I am having that hose dump directly back in to the bucket.

It would be cool to pick up a 1 gal plastic surge tank that could hold two pumps. Your stock pump could constantly keep it filled regardless of how low you ran your main tank and it would be easy to convert back to stock down the road.
