[Diy_efi] schematic critique (now gas tank drawing)

a 90 degree -8 or -10 fitting is about 2.5" long, and thats about 1.5" more 
than i have as far as frame rail clearance, since the tank sits so low to 
the ground. having straights right out of the sides won't work because it 
puts it directly into the driveshaft location. i do not think there is 
enough room to go out of the front or rear of the tank either, but i would 
have to double check on that, and i'l have to see if the overall tank shape 
will allow that fitting, and a flat sealing surface for the nylon washers 
that are used with those.

and besides, this electronic circuit building task is just sooo sooo easy 
(dripping with sarcasm)  :)

actually i'm ready to bang my head on the tank in sheer frustration

but you are correct, the valve won't flow anywhere near enough fuel for my 
application
