The cluster would say "unleaded fuel only" in that case. Highly unlikely someone would swap that too.
I don't know about that. The cluster in my Bronco said "diesel fuel only". Of course, the gasoline tach reads higher than one for a diesel too.

Maybe the cluster was messed up so they swapped it when the engine was

Hey all,

got a few questions about fuel pumps on my truck. First of all, I have two tanks, do I have 2 pumps? Second, where are they/it? I was just driving it after getting the dash put all back together after fixing an electrical issue (or so I thought) when the truck quit and won't start. Need to know where the fuel pumps are so I can see if they are working. I have fuel at the injectors and fuel/water separator, and while cranking the engine and bleeding the fuel/water separator fuel definitely bleeds out, so I'm not sure what the problem is. My fuel pump relay is sending power to the pumps. Could this be a timing issue? I have been having electrical issues that i'm working through, is there an electric component to timing?

You have a mechanical fuel pump on side of engine. Then you have a injection pump on top of engine witch supply fuel for injection to injection .some people install a electric fuel pump betten the mechanical and the water separator

Classic Diesel Designs is selling a sump kit to convert our tanks to put the fuel lines on the bottom, no silly shower head needed. I plan to do that as I go through my fleet. This business of drawing fuel out the top seems pretty goofy to me.

I went to that site and looked at that product. It's a little confusing to me. The picture shows it coming out of the top of the tank. I am assuming our tanks have a large enough flat place to mount this on the bottom? Not a very good explanation on that site.

I can't think of any car or truck that I have run across that didn't pull the fuel from the top of the fuel tank. Except 18 wheeler tanks.

I believe that the picture with the fuel coming out of the top of the tank is without the sump. He's offering different options for the more price conscious. The sump is to eliminate the shower head issues.
