What do you do? Empty the tank and stick it to the bottom around the fuel pickup?

From what ive read, the fuel will still move through the foam but slower, hence less slosh, it seems for an E30 tank you would just remove the pump/senders and just shove it in, first place to fill imo would be the pump side

One thought that springs to mind, is the hole for the sender on the near side the same as the hole for the pump in the off side? Dual pump setup anyone?

I was thinking about fitting twin pickups and use a single external pump, a pump on the other side would be running dry more often which cant be good for it

True I guess the only problem would be stopping the dry side from just sucking air, if one pump was sucking both sides (oo er missus)
