I have looked at that pump before, but that breaks my budget for this year, probably going with an Airtex 8248 after reading reviews on the Ford E2000...
Yeah, only morons would weld or think to weld on a fuel tank without thoroughly cleaning, neutralizing, and drying the tank. I've shortened, narrowed, and welded in sumps, bungs, and ports in many gas tanks...including recently the fuel tank on my funny car to make room for my oil tank:
