I am wondering whether to add a tuna can to my stock 2.0. Is it a prudent upgrade? Also I don't see a lot of deep sumps used by members, is there some reason that the Tuna Can solution is preferred?
(As a retired commercial tuna fisherman, I prefer my tuna in water anyway, not in 10/40) |

(As a retired commercial tuna fisherman, I prefer my tuna in water anyway, not in 10/40) I may be wrong, but I'm not aware of a "deep sump" other than the Tuna can. There's really no way to fasten one to the bottom of the engine. Considering the existing ground clearance with the suspension loaded, extending the sump, even with a tuna can, is a bit unnerving.
