Hope this helps
most n/a engines are fuel injected these days...I'd have thought a tank fabricator would be aware of this.
The shallow height is the only real awkward but here. That's the size of the main tank, would you have room for a small round sump say 4" tall and 4" diameter below the main body of the tank ? If so, that in conjunction with good internal baffling/collector should mean you will have a good solid supply under almost any circumstances
Failing that, and whilst it isnt as common, you could have a dual tank setup still within those dimensions.
ie build a swirl tank internally into the main tank, but it would still have a lift pump and main high pressure pump.
eg, Andy's setup in his Noble is pictured here, but you could build a cheaper version. And the small collector tank doesnt need to be round as per normal swirl tanks
