I'm thinking about upgrading to a larger volume fuel pump (currently running Mallory Comp 140), and it looks like most larger volume pumps require a return line, which means that I'll either need to add a sump to my factory tank, or get a new fuel tank all together. I've heard mention of some people having trouble with the foam found in most modern race fuel tanks (both plastic and aluminum). Is this a concern? What is everyone using? What should I look for? What should I avoid? If money were no object, what's the best option? Appreciate your input. Thank you.
