Would you happen to have a pic of how this will sit inside the space available? I'm looking to see where the tank ends on the pass side (US)...

Hmmm... Not an angle I took a good shot of when I was test fitting. However, there's a bit of room over there.

Additionally, new designs have a boss on that side of the tank in case you want to mount a pump on that side:

We're waiting on another prototype of this revised (final?) design. Hopefully that will be coming this / next week. Once we have that, we want to install it on a car, setup a GoPro and put it through it's paces in the real world to see (literally) how it performs.

If we're happy, we push to production. If we're not, we revise and retest. However, this updated design should perform extremely well.

From there, it's the same 40 day mold production / 30 day tank production / 2 week shipping time frame... which puts us in December/January for delivery.

Makes me think another possible solution to slosh would be a weighted pickup tube entering from above.

Hi Matt, have you considered some kind of crowd funding for this. In advance of full scale production a small contribution would allow to cover the production set up costs but also give you a little more real certainty on real interest.
