fuel cell mounting questions

i just got my 16 gal fuel cell from summit and am going to put it in this weekend . my question is it has a sump on the bottom where the gas line comes out and i was wondering if that has to face the rear of the truck or could i have the line coming out facing the cab? i know that when accelerating gas would be pushed to the rear but would it make that big of a difference? just wondering , any opionions ?

I'd think there'd be baffles to prevent any ill effects from sloshing around.

I put mine to the side. it should have some sponge like material in it to prevent the slosh

Some have foam chunks in them. The sump was for the racers so on acceleration that last bit of fuel would be there. For a driver it should not makea difference.
