Wait, ALL THE PROBLEMS YOU PEOPLE ARE HAVING IS NOT BECAUSE OF SCREEN PLACEMENT. EVEN THOUGH THE SCREEN IS ROUTED UPWARDS, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. YOUR PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO CLOGGED SCREENS. The pump is designed to suck from the bottom of the sender unit and that's what it does until you run out of gas. Your problem lies with screen clogging and when you take a corner the fuel level opposes the sending unit and adds to the fuel starvation problem. With a new screen, you will not experience these problems anymore. YOU DON'T NEED TO WASTE YOUR TIME MODDING THIS ONE unless you want to try to save money. By the way, the Carter pump is appr.$160 and the stock is $230-320. It's not possible to buy just the 2 dollar screen YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE DOD GAMN THING!
