Does your buggy have a vacuum line to the petcock for the tank?

I'm pretty sure that is for the vacuum operated petcock, not a fuel pump. If your carb can be fed fuel via gravity feed tank, and you want to mount this tank above your engine, then it will work for you. The petcock is very nice, unless you forget that you shut it off and start trying to diagnose why the engine shut off(guilty as charged). It has been mentioned that the fuel cap can leak from the sloshing fuel in the tank while moving, while I have not had a chance to formally test this, I have a few plans on how to remedy the issue, if needed.
