Has anyone used Walbro multi-point fuel pickups these in a stock tank EFI conversion?

They're supposed to place a pickup in several places in the tank eliminating slosh starvation problems. Holley apparantly discontinued thiers, but they seem to have been made by Walbro. Here's a link to a Walbro distributor:

Seems like an easy way to solve this problem. I wonder how they stay put in your tank?

Seems like kind of a cool idea, the multiple pickups I mean. Actually, why would you need it to "stay put"? If it is allowed to move, it will obvoiusly move to where the fuel is won't it?

With our luck, all the pickups would flop to the front of the tank and it would starve out again. I guess the hose tension between them would keep them in place.

FuelSafe makes a similar product. I don't know how well they work.

If you search over at nastyz28.com for a thread by ErikNORCAL, I asked the same question and found 1 guy with an LS1 2nd gen camaro that tried it. He said it didn't work for him.
