Please let us know how the install goes. Some of the reviewers on Amazon had to modify the pump to make it work. Do you have a 20 gallon tank?

I'm not sure what size tank it has. I wouldn't figure there would be multiple sizes I guess.
I have one of them cheap siphon hoses somewhere. Just gotta find it

I've never had a problem with too much gas in my tank! Of course you can see the potential problem since the pump is mounted on the side.
I haven't had much luck siphoning to get fuel for a chainsaw or something, but parking at a favorable angle might have helped once. A really small, maybe get 6-8' of 1/4 inch vinyl tube, might be the ticket. I'm not much help...google maybe...It IS above 1/2 way up. With the front up on stands.........
Anyone know if there is a drain plug?

Not being able to find a direct replacement when mine went I was forced to do a whole assembly. It is airtex but been in there 5 years now no issues.....Maybe it being there whole assembly makes a difference.I did reuse factory o ring new was too big.
