Using the bottom drain plug is just too low. There are only a couple of fittings that will fit the drain and they will hang down in harms way.

2511 had a bottom feed fuel system on the stock steel tank when purchased by me over 50,000 miles ago. I have never had any issue with that bottom fitting. It does not become the lowest part of the chassis, sits just behind a substantial chassis brace and would only be subject to damage from some very random road debris or if one was playing 4X4 bouncing over a rough country road with an object that somehow cleared the chassis and managed to come straight up into the bottom of the tank.

I have talked with other owners with bottom feed fuel systems and they likewise have never had any problems.

I have personally never found anyone with a bad experience with a bottom feed tank fitting. I realize that in theory this could be a problem but in actual practice it appears to be a unfounded Pantera myth.
