In tank pumps prime quicker, draw less amps, run cooler, last longer, and virtually eliminate any possibility of ever having vapor lock. Why? Because electric fuel pumps are much better at pushing than they are at pulling. The side of the pump that pulls the fuel creates a low pressure zone between it and the fuel, whereas the side of the pump that is pushed creates a high pressure zone, which eliminates the possibility of vapor lock. So, logic dictates that you want the pulling side to be as short as possible, and the pushing side to be the longest. You can't get much closer to the fuel than in the tank.

Hethj7 asks a good question: What are your intentions? That might make explaining things easier.

Take care,
