I have always had a concern with low and high pressure pumps, the associated electrics, swirl pots and rubber hoses mounted in the boot space of a TA22/RA23 when you only have a piece of melamine board and the back seat foam padding between yourself and that combination. And the constant faint smell of fuel would worry me sick.
So, I did this. Mounted an external pump on the chassis rail under the boot. Modded the tank with an extended fuel pick up and filter sock from a MS123 Crown, and the heart of the system is this. I had a square flat section cut out of the bottom rearmost section of the tank, directly below the bottom of the pick-up. Inside this square I had welded a cylindrical tube that holds about a litre, with small holes drilled equally in sections up the sides, to let fuel in as the tank is filled. There were also small holes drilled at the very bottom of this cylinder. Weld the flat section back in and hey presto, no surge on corners, when street light dragging or when fuel levels get low.
This was done by a certified fuel tank specialist to avoid later inspection hassles.
I have no doubt that a proper swirl pot system is a better technical solution to this problem, and if I had a solid metal bulkhead between me and the tank that extended up to include the area below the melamine rear parcel shelf, I would have this full set up in place. But for my intended use, the fuel pump and electrics outside the boot space, and a pick-up and well inside the tank leading to a single long fuel hose, is the best solution for me - RA23 with 1G-GZE.
Hope this helps you with ideas.
Cheers.
