this fuel pump assembly has been designed to be extremely adaptable for all sorts of different configurations of surge-can use or standalone fuel pump assembly use.
it is built of so many seperate components mostly so that it can be reconfigured as needed.
at this point in time for initial release, we are currently supporting it for use only as a surge-can to work in supplement to the stock fuel pump assembly. in that scenario the stock fuel pump will be busy feeding this product. in the case where someone may wish to reconfigure it or purchase it solely for use as a standalone/independant fuel pump assembly in which it would completely replace the stock fuel pump sending unit, we will have a specific model pump that it will require at least as the primary fuel pump (since it supports up to 2 pumps). this "special" model fuel pump (sounds expensive but its like any other walbro 255) i mention has a secondary feature that will aid in filling of this surge can.
To use this product as a standalone fuel pump assembly, if PnP is desired, then a filter and regulator will need to be integrated internally. That is something we will be working on in the future. But if someone wanted to use an external adjustable regulator and external filter, then we could immediately prepare one for standalone use by simply machining a couple holes in the top for fittings. There will still be more modifications to perform to get back the over-tank siphoning ability though. So ultimately, I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to use it in standalone configuration to wait for us to release the parts for it.
