How to get electrical into the gas tank?

I am stuck and need your help. I am building a gas tank for my truck and I need a way to get the electrical into the gas tank for the fuel pump. I am planning on using a aeromotive a1000 pump sumberged in the tank and can't find any kind of electrical bulkheads or some sort of connector to get the electrical into the tank and sealed so no gas leaks. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Josh

I would recommended getting the factory GM unit (fuel pump, fuel level sender/sump can) and making it fit the tank your building.

Edit: You should still be able to use the pump you have with the GM unit.

Something like this:

I know sump and submerged pumps use a compression grommet for their cords, but as mentioned I think the original fuel tank sender and connection may be a safer route.
