Ive got a couple extra sumps laying around
The Hellmann Fuel Sump Richmond Texas
Beans Diesel Performance Fuel Tank Sump - Sumps - Fuel Systems - Performance
Why Re-Engineer the wheel?
I have the Hellman and am happy with it, but the Beans is a impressive piece also...plus it comes with the Hole Saw.

Yankneck696 said:Silicone won't do. Make a gasket out of Vito sheet (mcmaster carr) or neoprene gasket material. Adhere it to the axle cap with Permatex #2 gasket maker & let it fully cure. Once ready to install, use a light coat of axle grease on the mating surface for future removal. . Use SS bolts & nylock nuts with fender washers that have neoprene washers Permatexed to them on the inside.
I have done similar things for boats.

Letting a neoprene gasket cure to the cap with "gasket maker" isnt going to make for a very flat mating surface after it cures. I agree with not using silicone, but thats about it.

Try PMing him. He usually responds pretty quick.
I feel like my time is worth too much when I can go buy one ready to go for cheap, that's already been tested.
I agree, is the 3 hours its gonna take you to make this one work really worth it? You can buy one cheap, a vendor on here had blemished ones (anodizing didnt come out perfect) for around $100 ready to bolt on
