Crabman - I see you used the fitting the tank came with. I had to use a 90* elbow directly off the pump because of a clearance issue. Will that in any way affect the operation/longevity of my pump? Also I see you used double gear clamps after the tank - is this a recommended method? I only used one and am wondering if I should throw another on there.
Thanks!

I just used double clamps to be sure since that is the pressure side, could be overkill on my part. The 90* elbow should not be a problem...... In my mod the idea was noise and vibration isolation as well as adding the accumulator pump which is why I used the foam/luan sandwich and foam pipe covers. My pump was very LOUD before the mod and was mounted to the wall under the kitchen sink cabinet with the bedroom being on the other side of the wall. Much quieter now and the accumulator stops the short cycling.
This is what it looked like before the mod:
