I will also need to get some of those SS MOP lines off you before you and them are gone from us... I'll contact you for some when my new intake is done being detailed.

The declining rotary market may just be getting a swift kick in the ***:

trying not to argue but the RX8 was a failure in my opinion and should have been the gap filler. the 8 has as many inherent issues as the 7 and more. most 8's need a new engine before 100k miles and they pass hands many times before anyone considers modding them, not to mention most are owned by non-rotary enthusiasts.

pray you never flood a renesis 13B-MSP, it almost takes a new battery and starter to build compression back enough to get it fired again.

Haha, that's awesome! Been there myself. Didn't tighten one of the output lines on my fuel filter when I pressure tested the system..."Hmm, why am I not building fuel pressure? What's that smell?!". 2 litres of fuel on my driveway in a few seconds.

Just noticed it because typically on the suction side one would upsize the hose size by a little bit (to say, -8). Though with your pumps not drawing much head by being right at the sump, it's likely not a problem at all.
