Ok I see that I can get the pump to work with the deeper tank by lengthening the piece of rubber hose it is crimped to the assembly with, that would sort the fuel pickup issue. Then I am left with the level sender issue. I could bend and make up a longer wire arm, however with the longer arm I fear it may foul the side of the tank when it floats up to the top with a full tank of fuel to due its extra length.
