If only ever you tube video was like this. Straight to the point. Great information. Short and sweet. No giveaways, begging, click bait or ads.

Nice video that was on point with no extra BS. Did mine with the Beans sump and dropped my tank to make sure the tank was clean and welded a small shield with a bolt on mount to protect it.

Nice setup and a great install video. You need a finer micron rating than 10 for injector protection. 2 microns is pretty much industry standard. Are the o-rings viton?

@@PowerstrokeBoiz, on my 1993 instead of doing the sump I used a section of fuel hose and a brass-T fitting to sit on the tank then have a pre-screen after it to catch before my pump. I still don’t go below 1/4 but I’ve done it in a pinch. You were smart on the ball valves I did the same on my pump when I need to clean the screen.

Thanks for the video. My question is about the return line, is it still going to the sending unit? did you plug the line coming out at the sending unit? where did you get the plugs?

@PowerstrokeBoiz Ай бұрын

Plugged Feed, Using stock return.

So the whole purpose of this was to one, allow all the fuel in the tank to be used, and two, better filtration/seperation of water from the fuel. Bonus addition of drain out in case of bad fuel... Could that dual port sump be used to feed a China diesel heater?

Yes it could!

What's your thoughts on adding a 6 microns filter after the fuel pump along the way to the fuel Y block?

@PowerstrokeBoiz 6 ай бұрын

Definitely add a POST Filter. I should have but never did, Or just move this one infront of the pump and it’s fixed.

@technicalitems731 Жыл бұрын

Will this work if I don’t have the sump adapter in tank? I did the HUTCH mod. Didn’t know if the gravity pressure of a sump helps the stock lift pump pull through a filter vs stock sending unit style. Thanks

@PowerstrokeBoiz Жыл бұрын

The effect of gravity DEFINITELY makes less strain on the fuel pump. No point in really doing this unless you go with a sump, whole idea was to be able to 100% utilize the absolute amount of fuel left in the bottom where the hutch mod can’t reach.

Nice Video of the installation and product, but FYI you shouldn’t use the pipe dope on any part of a fuel system, tape only reason being, is the it is not compatible to the fuel.

I didn’t use “ pipe dope “. FYI you should look up PTFE is suitable for Fuel/Diesel 😇. Why I haven’t had one leak using it, even with twin fuel pumps now 😙
