Works just fine at least in a 280 tank! it's in mine waiting for the day when I finally give up on carbs. Real soon, yeah...

You just have to position it in the right spot so the fuel sender arm clears it. You have control of the length/depth of the frame to get it "just" on the bottom of the tank. The only wrinkle is that the top elbows are too tall. I had to fabricate a hole and cap in the hatch area. No biggy

I guess.  It's more of a decoupled loop than a surge tank.  I think I have my mind wrapped around it though.  A vent would be a bad idea.  It would be prone to overfilling and leaking.  

Glad to hear that Zkars - could you have just made an access panel there if needed and killed two birds?

Jim, if you get a chance could you post a pic of this? I will have to do this on my Z but keep running into the subframe.

Integrated Engineering makes a Surge tank that includes Internal  mounting for an Bosch 044 or similar pump.. Single or Dual pump versions available. Lots of VW/Audi/Subi guys use them. You can keep the stock 240Z tank, Return lines can route back to the surge tank.

This is the route I will be going. I'm not going to use the AC canister but the rest I will. There is a nice diagram too.
