I really don't think you'll have a problem if you can just get a bigger pickup than the -8 that's currently on there. I'm sure you won't be the first customer to install a pump in what our engineer would call a less-than-ideal environment! Hahaha!
If you can get a -10 (or -12) on there, you shouldn't have any problems. I was picturing a much deeper cell before. A sock on the dip tube would be perfect, and as you said- cheaper. We have a 75m stainless sock with a -10 fitting on it (part #83801).
-10 or -12 would be fine. All of our pumps...
How deep is that cell? I never thought to ask that in the emails that we traded. It looks fairly shallow. If there was any way to get a -10 pickup on there, I would be a lot less concerned about it pulling the fuel up and out. I am just concerned about possible cavitation issues from trying to...
Are you running a carb or FI? You can cut the gasoline hp rating of our pumps roughly in half to get a decent idea how much power they will support with E-85.
Those are certainly some good tips. One thing to keep in mind, if the OP (or anyone else for that matter) goes with a FUELAB pump, there's no need to buy a pump controller. FUELAB pumps have an elctronic speed control built into them.

Concerning the heat issue mentioned above- I don't think that would be an issue unless the pump and/or...
