I'm not sure if this is the perfect solution for someone looking to switch to return style but this saves you from having to mess with the stock fuel bucket and add a filter in etc. basically you get much more fuel capacity with OE type engineering.

Yeah I agree keeping it above half tank is pretty brutal so if this solves the fuel pump issue and you can use the tank like factory and go down to when the gas light comes on (I don't think you're racing anyone either with the light on) but that's a lot better than filling up at half tank.

If it does work like factory (till light comes on) then im in for one.

I heard from them last week, they are waiting for a unit from Engineering to be done and they will send it to me at that point, I will update soon as I get info from them.
