Have you thought of using a swirl pot similar to what race cars use. You can buy them on ebay for around $60 for the tank. They use your low pressure pump from the tank to the pot in the engine bay and high pressure from there. Something like this.

There are a few interesting suggestions here, but I'm going to stay with the QFT for now. For what it is worth, this is a '69 F100 with the fuel tank behind the seat in the cab. A submerged pump in the tank is NOT an option. I may consider moving the tank to the rear under the bed and behind the axle in the future, but it is a significant project that involves moving a frame cross member (and removing the bed and box), so not in my near term plans.

I'll spend my next free $$ on an Eaton Trutrac for the 9".

Where do you find this "free $$"? I wouldn't mind having some.  :)

Since I have little use for the more'truck-y' functions of a truck, when I put the EFI in my '63 Effie ICB I took the tank out from behind the seat and substituted a fuel cell in the bed---snugged up to the back of the cab. It not only gave me the safety function I was looking for, it gave me a bit more room in the cab and got rid of the stray bit of gas smell. And there was still plenty of room to carry the occasional engine/trans or spare front suspension.

What? You don't like the nostalgic wiff of gasoline in the cab?

I actually think that if the truck gets hit hard enough to compromise the tank I won't be worrying about much - the thing is a death trap at the best of times.

Ya, I daily drove my '70 F100 for 12 yrs(1984-1996).  Stock tank in the cab.  Never thought a minute of it.  Of course I don't think the news had done the bottle rocket in the side of the fuel tank chevy truck yet?

My '69 has had a fuel cell in the bed for 20? yrs now.  I bought the cell for cheap at Summit back when they first started the "Junk" table(clearance stuff).  20 gal(or 18?) for about $20?  I don't recall exactly as it was too long ago.  It's a clear(opaque) tank so I don't need a fuel gauge as I just look out the back window and see how much fuel I have.

I used to have a blue pump in line with my stock pump as that was the "trick" years ago.  Run on the stock pump, but turn on the electric pump to assist it when "racing".  I've removed the blue pump many years ago.  Still just running a stock type mechanical pump on my 428CJ motor.  Plenty enough fuel for what it needs.

I'm using a Holley blue pump and it is LOUD. Wondering if there is a quieter option out there.
   
My Carter on my 66 Falcon SW was loud until I bought the isolation kit from Summit....
