Looks good Chris, drill some hole in the bottom in case water gets in there, maybe some vent holes too. I'm working on a build myself, It's going to be the Worlds lightest skid.

Chris,

If you can eliminate that elbow that would help with some distance and back pressure.

Sorry I did I was just doing a test run. I have 1 in hose going through the other side of my box to my tank. Thank you

Hank makes a good point. To expand on that build I would loop that exit hose with slack and clamp it to the side. If you accidentally pull to tight you can Crack the connection and cause SH to leak into the box and mix with the battery acid creating a very dangerous situation. (Acid +base=bad bad situ!) Also put that battery in a water proof box.

Also have that fan blowing in, not suckling out. Suckling out may pull corrosive fumes thru the motor corroding the fan and killing it.

Good luck!

Here's a pump I made about 3 years ago. I use it as a transfer pump and Back up. If you use Brass street elbows you will have less restriction then the PVC elbows.
