Fuel starvation

With the long fuel tank on the GT-R a 30ºish slope and less than 1/2 tank puts the pickup in air and or under braking on low tank. Ideally you would have a lift pump at the front of the tank too to bring fuel to a collector. Obviously its not such a problem with the stock setup with a surge tank but for those going the in tank route it can be. In instilling my in tank pump i added fuel proof rubber gates to the cutout corners in the rear baffle to slow the fuel surge forward.
The long narrow tank is great for location but dose have its drawbacks on hilly terrain.
No matter which way you go prolonged running on a steep slope nose down and low tank could cause the pickup to be dry.
