With that gas tank like that will it just spill fuel if you back into a curb or something? It looks like those fuel fittings are the lowest thing on the bottom of the car. I thought they were supposed to come out the the top of the tank.

shawnm565 05-02-12 02:47 PM

Not Exactly, I believe the diff is still lower then the Sumped Gas tank, The 2 fuel lines will be level with the gas tank so there shouldnt be any issues.

There are a couple other people witht he Sump's
