The basket is to hold the fuel in, to have an ample supply for the pump. By drilling it full of holes you risk starving it, plus you'll always have to have the tank filled with gas.

The plan is to keep the tanks always with plenty of fuel. Both fuel pumps will be working full time and we will have return lines to both sides of the tanks.

To clarify: completion does not imply 'final' stage. Referring to tuned and relatively issue free.
