Pic attached of the warning on high volume pumps.

So was swapping the 260 GPH filer for the 460 GPH filter, pulled the 260 gph, opened it up and the filter was loaded with crap. I saw crap coming out when I was draining the lines, was like WTH. I had just cleaned that filter and added fresh gas even.

Long story short, the chit was coming from the station I was getting high test from. I had gone back and refilled the 5gal cans I was using even, so now I don't have a way to drain the tank without pump the crap gas thru my new pump and filter.

I think I'm going to hookup the old filter and drain the tank, and just get more cans. Still won't put that gas in my car, guess I'll have a couple seasons of garden equip gas. It's still going to go thru my new pump tho.

Uhg. So ate a fat steak and am drowning the blues with bourbon.

Oh okay that's what you meant by notched tank. I was confusing that with possibly something more trick since you were relating that to fuel delivery. Had me thinking a different direction for a minute.

I've seen those notched tanks for exhaust and always thought they were interesting and wondered just how big people were going with tailpipes to need that tank, lol. I run 3" past the stock setup and have plenty of room.

Interesting on the warning deal, Both dad and mine have stock style A-body EFI tanks from Tanks Inc with 450 walbros in them. Actually been running them for many years even before the EFI conversion. Has always been flawless. I'm thinking at least 5-6 years with a carb and then switched to EFI 4-5 years ago. I just wish they would make a deeper version that would hold an extra 4-5 gallons like they do for the F-bodies.

Wow, dirt would explain it. Dirty gas completely jammed up the pump filter?
Geeez
