Default Walbro 450 In Tank Install

This is my first attempt at doing a Walbro 450 in a stock nnbs felx fuel bucket. I would like to get some opinions and feedback on what everyone thinks of it and if anything needs to be changed before install it in the truck. i used gates 5/16 hose from the pump with AN fittings stepping up to 8AN at the bulkhead. Using the stock feed line as my return line also.

Did you make that little plate in the bottom of the bucket? Thats pretty cool.

I would recommend some clamps on top or behind the barbs for the rubber hose.

Cool. This works for the guys running an external FPR. I went ahead and put one in my nonflex bucket and kept the factory regulator about a month ago and it works great
