If your engine is dependent on a fuel pump anyway, either for the required fuel pressure or just to raise fuel from a low-mounted tank, is there any reason why you couldn't use an automotive fuel cell like this one in a homebuilt aircraft?

I know there is the issue of water and condensation, but if the stance of the aircraft on the ground were a little nose up and you mounted the cell a little tilted, presumably you could mount a drain in the low corner for preflight checks.
Am I missing something?
