Default OBS tank sump?

Anyone running them?
Single or both tanks
Any problems or wishes to do it different?
Thanks....

There isn't a flat spot big enough to install the sumps. I tried with mine and I'm gonna end up doing a single rear tank

Yeah, eyeballing it I kinda was thinking the same.
Then the idea struck to do the 36 gal rear,then also put a cheapie small pump on a switch, plumb it from the front tank to the rear and have an onboard, under truck transfer tank.

What I'm doing with mine is I got new tanks cause mine where leaking and had a local welding shop weld pipe thread in the bottom for a suction line and another for a cross over tube for both tanks.
