Default Fuel pump stopper in a non-OEM tank

Hey!

Bought a fuel tank from jeep4x4center and it looked good and all that, except on the fuel pump it has a rubber stopper that, I guess is supposed to hold it level when the pump is in the tank.

In my old rusty fuel tank it has a bump where I guess the stopper can rest on, but the new tank doesn't. Won't that put a strain on the wired etc connecting the pump?

Fyi; this is the tank I bought http://www.jeep4x4center.com/gas-tan...-83502633.html

Nobody? Can't find any info on this and kinda hard to get a feel if the stopper actually touches the bottom of the tank....doubt it'll be good for the pump and all just to be hanging..

Try the modified tech section. A few of those guys have built their own tanks and may be able to help
