just wondering if any of you guys have ordered one of his surge tanks with 2 044 outlets and only using one pump with the option of adding the other one later... if so what did you use to blank off the other outlet ? cheers

The only thing doing it this way is that you need Speedflow fittings to attach the pumps to the tank. Worked for my setup

I do not have one with the pump attached. but this might give you an idea. Jamie was very helpful as I had to ask all the same questions you are right now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
