DON'T go bucketless! You'll get low fuel issues under 1/4 tank and possibly even as full as 3/4 tank. Lots of problems with these things. Dunno if the kit you're looking at has fixed that by having a partial bucket but I bet not. Now, if you go venturiless that's another story, but I STRONGLY advise keeping a full bucket. Go with a dual bucketed pump if you're really wanting the extra 25% flow.

Other shitty thing? Hydramats don't fix the issue. And they are a wear part. And are in the ballpark of $150-300!
