Re: Under bed fuel tank, front of bed?

I mounted the sump on the radiator core support under the hood on the driver's side (opposite side from the battery). My regular 6psi mechanical fuel pump feeds the sump, the sump contains the high pressure pump to push it up to 50-60. It can run without a return line which saves some plumbing. I am satisfied with it so far. No need to change senders or fuel gauge. Probably about the same price as a new fuel tank and likely less work.
I didn't even know about those! Hmmm
Though I do wanna free up some room in the cab.

Also, how long you been in Sam Diego? I left in 2019 and just forgot to update it as I've moved, she's been driven all over the country almost, now in Indy
