Say what?!?!
After all the problems I had at the end of the rally, I decided to take Mel's suggestion and mount my new fuel pump on the frame rail. I did find a bunch of gunk on the strainer, that I figured was from something in the batch of fuel I tried to get home from the rally on.
I used a piece of 2" angle iron, that is bolted on the frame rail. The Carrier pump is mounted to it. The pump now sits about 10" forward of the selector valve.
We mounted it to the inside of the left front fender on Tuesday, in the hopes it would be good enough to get me home. It did, but not as graceful as I would have liked.
I have to say that moving it to the frame rail is, by FAR, a better place to put it! The truck is running a whole lot better now and the fuel starvation symptoms have disappeared completely. I haven't taken any pics of the install yet, but will try to very soon.
