Thanks for the tip.

The tank of the 2008 CR is quite shallow as the boot floor is quite low. Only about 110mm at the edge of the tank where my outlet is so my max lift/suction height should be about 200mm.

The shallow tank actually limits you on being able to use in-tank combination pump/reg/swirl pot arrangements as they all seem to be taller than my tank.

I kinow I could do some fancy things to the tank, but at the moment I am try to work out a low-cost solution.

The Carter lift pump and Surge tank werent too expensive, although the plumbing adds up.

I might even conduct an experiment prior to mounting the pump with a rigged up can of fuel and check the suction of the pump. This would confirm it all.
