    Yes, I have one in my shed on the 55 gallon drum that feeds my MEP-701a, and one at work on a 450 gallon tank. Handy kit, but is really designed for a return fuel system, for the drum here at the house I have a small vacuum release valve from Lowes screwed into the second small hole (3/8 inch...
