Alternates and lessons learned.

1. 20' is too much 3/8" ID fuel line for this installation. 10 - 15' would
have been plenty.
2. 2' of 1/4" ID fuel line is needed to tap into the stock fuel system.
3. Summit has a tank that appears to be the same as the Fuel Safe and it
costs less. SUM-290101, $79.95, 800-230-3030 (foam baffle?)
4. I found that the red filler cap that came on the cell I got didn't
close reliably.  It tended to pop off. Others have reported being soaked
in fuel when this happended.  Fuel Safe doesn't recommend this cap. Some
of their dealers offer it as a cost-saving feature. I don't recommend it.
Fuel Safe offers a cap that has a camming latch that is VERY positive.
Their hardware is why their cells cost more. I returned mine and paid
the difference to get the good fuel cap.  I'm glad I did.
