Good advice but I'm willing to change filters more often if it means a
decrease in fuel slosh (I plan on about a forty gallon tank, that could
be a lot of sloshing if not well baffled, I don't want the fuel to knock
out the side of my tank).  What's really confusing me (having never
purchased a fuel cell before) is the huge variety in available tanks, I
think I get the differences between drag race and circle track type
tanks (the position of the pick up) but there are different materials
and I'm not sure whether any of them will work with my gauge etc...  If
I really have to I'll mount an external gauge but I'd like to use the
one in the dash, I also don't want to end up with a fuel bag that will
disintegrate in gas (they seem to have seperate materials for gas and
alchohol and I haven't quite figured that out yet), then there's the
issue of price (anywhere from $100-$1000+), like I said I'm trying to
make sense of all the crap I've dug up.  Anyway, I'm still looking, in
the meantime if ANYBODY has ANY information or personal experience they
want to pass along (any FAQ docs out there??) I'd really appreciate it,
this is uncharted territory for me.

Thanks,
Ben.
