Steve,
Tank Tenders do not have any inside float arms or anything inside the tank
but a length of stiffened plactic tubing reaching almost to the bottom of
the tank.
It works through air pressure being injected into the tank via a small
manual pump.
Only problem I have had in previous installations is accessing top of tank
to tap the small hole needed to thread in the connector. I have installed
them in aluminium and fiberglass tanks.
