I bought my pump from a company called "Tanks". It also stuck up too high to fit under my stock passenger seat so I cut my tank and tig welded in an insert that I also bought at tanks. But it needs to be carefully laid out to avoid the baffles and the gas level gauge in the tank. The pump also sits in a little tray in the tank. I needed to cut the tray down as well to avoid the baffles.

Is there a reason why you didn’t go with a inline pump?
 
I used an in tank pump as well on my 3FE conversion. For the same reason - my other one (in line) kept overheating in the hot weather. The in tank has worked well, in Houston even.
 
I am using a Bosch pump 69568 I bought on amazon.

If you use an external pump, be sure to use a prefilter to keep the junk out of the pump.

What model of pump did you get from Tanks? After looking into this it sounds like a good idea. My tank is different than yours it has vent lines running across it but plenty of room for a pump.

I paid around $200 for it. But I can give you a great IH8MUD deal on it since I don't need it anymore. Give me an offer.

thanks for the offer but after looking into it putting a pump in the tank sounds like a clean option.

Did you have to put a regulator in between the pump and the filter?
