edelbrock e-street fuel sump?

[JoeGrapes]

Has anyone seen or maybe used the Edelbrock E-Street fuel sump for an EFI setup? They came out with it last year and it looks really interesting. Vary easy to set up a fuel system for going to EFI. A little pricey but when you add up everything you need to do an in-tank fuel pump and the ease of just bolting it in the engine bay it looks like a good way to go. I thought of just putting where the windshield washer tank is now.

I read about it, and it seems like a great idea!
Would be a little concerned about how safe it would be in an accident.

I don't think that should be much of a concern. The construction looks to be plenty strong. It would take more to rupture that tank than it would to rupture the thin steel tank we have now in a rear end collision.  Also it's being fed by the stock pump on the motor so in a collision that fuel will stop flowing when the motor stops. If you have a in-tank or in-line pump the fuel will continue to flow as long as the battery is connected. In modern cars there is a sensor that will stop the fuel flow in a collision. I have not read where any of the aftermarket EFI systems have that.

but now that I think of it, the fuel should stop flowing in these EFI systems in a collision when the motor stops and the demand is not there.

I agree, very unlikely, but in some respects it depends how serious the accident is.
Be a bummer to be trapped, with a leaking gas container near your dash (and close to a hot
exhaust manifold) that catches fire. But again, unlikely.
