To be fair that might not have caused a problem at all but I didn't want to go through the trouble of making everything fit only to find out there's a problem and have to drop the tank again and figure something else out.

It looks like NastyBuzzard was using the module out of a 20ga pickup tank which is much taller than the Tahoe/Yukon tank. We have a new '87 16ga baffled square body tank and a new '03 Yukon pump module and comparing them side by side the heights are close but hopefully workable.
