You may as well have a pick-up tube that is 6" off the bottom of your tank. If the can was mounted outside, and UNDER the tank, it would be excellent, cuz then it would act as a sump for fuel.
I am only trying to save you a little bit of time here.
It's good to see people trying new idea's.
Don't take my comments as a bash...I am only trying to help.

He has a very valid point here.
