(-10 main feed Mabye) tiwn -8 feed rail -8 to fule reg -6 return

now most peolpe will weld in a sump i want to but i just don't have the time nore can the a1000 fit in the fule tank soo an idea came to my mind


see the stock tank has a drain plug why not make rectangle box weld a screw fiting to the box and screw the box onto the tank and in run my feed from there

seam like it will work and not have any issues

any one care t0o coment about this idea cause i want the lest down time poosbile

The drain is on the bottom of the tank, iirc? I'd be worried about road debris knocking it off. Maybe put the box up by the stock fuel filter location, and run a feed line to it from the tank? Seems I've seen people feeding the sump with the in tank pump, then using that to feed the bigger pump, or something to that effect?

pic's mad tigh ms paint skillz and if i remmber wrigh that drain plug is huge

It would probably work well, as the tank would gravity feed. Maybe make it big enough to fit in the straps, so its not relying on just the fitting to hold it in place? Might have to make some longer straps, though.

with the feed over to the right, like weld in a pant that directs the fuel to one side?

oh thats a side view BTW

fuel drain will not work. have friends that have tried it. it just will not seal properly.

i supose you could weld the fitting in if you were die hard about using it.

if it were me (and how mine is done) drill and tap the bottom of the tank inside the stock baffle. run that to the pump, or aux tank, whichever you prefer.

dont forget to run a pre filter.

edit:

pic of what im talking about-

how it is installed inside tank-

I drilled a hole into the area where the stock pump sits inside the baffle. I then had a -10 90 bulkhead fitting welded in and ran it to the pump.

 

[NashMan]

the idea around it was not to do any weldeing

i want lest monte of down time

aka no weld or i just do a sump

but my idea wonte leak i know that that is far of my conser's

 

[dbsupra90]

mine isnt welded. its just drilled and has a bulkhead fitting like i showed above.

good luck with the drain. you'll be the first ive seen that doesnt leak without welding.

i made so lead way i orded a new fittining to thread into the tank

ntp to an and huge crush washer

should be here soon

all so updated the idea to cylinder in stead of a box

if this idea work i may just start selling them
