    Back at it Little advice/Help

    I have checked the shower head in the front tank it was loose so I pulled it off and attached a rubber fuel line with a brass barbed end with clamps so it should have fixed that issue for down the road. I move the selector from one tank to the other and fuel level changes as it should keep it on...

    Back at it Little advice/Help

    Hi all I am going to try to get back at my truck again. I left off with it starting with a gallon of Diesel just below the new electric lift pump but not when I use the fuel from the tank. The fuel pump seems to be pulling air and fuel from the tank. Is there seals at the tank transfer valve? I...

    Thanks for all the great input.. Hope to finish up all the hookup and then will at the very least fix the pickup in the front tank. The rear tank has been on E since taking ownership but the rear tank does move when the switch is flipped so I hope all is working with it. Thanks again.

    Thanks and that is what I was thinking.. How hard is it to get the pickup out to try and fix the issue.. I don't want to rely on my 18 year old son to fill up at a 1/4 tank.. I am currently searching for how to fix pick up..
