Why can't you just make a simple bracket and put your fuel pump in a metal bucket with a few holes drilled at the bottom?

If I didn't work 50+ hours a week as an elec engineer I would absolutely try it. Other than basic servicing/installing simple mods like intercoolers I don't do any work myself these days as I don't have the time.

Word to the wise, work on the marketing. Other offers speak of things like "billet", "plug & play", "OEM style", "easy to fit"

"Rollex's pot with a simple bracket & metal bucket with some holes" doesn't have the same snazzy catch to draw people in I don't think. :-p

If it could be done cheap with no R&D or promo and support costs and the market was there for it then someone like Rapid Systems would probably already be on to it.

Oh wait... :ermm:

Almost all performance cars have the pump at the rear of the tank so no need to change things from the factory, I'm not surprised almost no one has developed anything with such a small market, be a very poor return on investment. The fact most performance cars (even 1990s skylines) can run 10s without leaning out using the stock tank is evidence for this.
