Thanks for the prompt replies.
The 1.5G tank looks great for an in-trunk setup.
I noticed the tank's outlet to the pump is right on the "trough" of the tank, on the base where the pump mounts.
That seems to be about 1.5 inches above the bottom of the tank. So when the height of the pump's inlet is added, that's about 2.5 to 3 inches above the base of the tank itself.
My question is,
Is that base under the pump's mounting location full of liquid?
Can the pump "suck" and prime liquid once the tank level falls below the height of the pump's inlet? (it's a considerable volume, the whole 12"x8.5"x1.5" base + another ~1.5" "U" shape volume.
Also, is the tank outlet fitting flush on the base, or does it have a tube pick-up / siphon to allow pump to suck liquid when level falls below the pump mount base?
In your experience, down to what level (inches from the bottom of tank) is the tank's capacity usable when the pump is mounted in the trough and the tank's outlet is used?
Tanks!
