The suction tube was bent over and down to the lowest point in the tank to a reservoir. Unfortunately the builder used a piece of EMT as a suction line so I definitely wasn't going to reuse the EMT tube again. I bought some1/2" tube and a fitting that will weld into the tank that has threads to attach the line from the fuel pump instead of using rubber hose and clamps.

I was thinking about cutting some of the depth out of the tank so it doesn't hang down so far but I'm going to run it as it is for now and change it later or build a new tank later.
