Viento Fuel Tank ID
As you all know I am building a Viento RV8 with a Webber 500. With the kit I bought second hand came a fuel tank. I think its standard Luego but I
have a few questions.
 
fuel tank4
 
fuel tank3
 
fuel tank2
 
fuel tank
The object in the centre is the fuel level sender. I got that bit right. The other bit seems to be some sort of fuel pump that is within the tank.
There is a filter bag and a return. What is this for? There also seems to be some sort of level sender device on it. I thought I would have a
fuel pump exterior to the tank? Electricity and petrol surely don't mix?
I know these may be thick questions but could someone take the time to explain the science behind this.
Thanks in advance.

The bag is a filter. that "looks" like a high presure pump and sender unit from a tintop. Not sure what. You can get a low presure one to
suit an rv8.
The mixture in the tank is to rich to ignite.
I know it takes a bit to get your head around the fact you have a current flowing in your tank but its fine. Its how all cars are done since the mid
90's
