Just making sure.
That's what I do.I had one truck where everything must have been just right or just wrong. The rubber fuel line kept draining after I pulled it off of the lift pump. I ended up putting a 3/8" bolt in it and tightening the clamp down over the bolt to stop the leak. After that, I always did that so I don't know if it was just that one truck or if wasn't all the uncommon.
I would have liked that better, would have saved me trouble draining tanks. My 89 f250 and 90 f350 both just lost a bit.I had one truck where everything must have been just right or just wrong.

This just happens, or it doesn’t, I have no idea when why or how it’s random.I had one truck where everything must have been just right or just wrong.

The bucket/drain pan is definitely needed. Even in a best case scenario, you will need to catch what will drain out of the pump, rubber line, and the steel line that runs along the frame. The bolt...you'll have to find out for yourself.Thanks Guys,
Looks like I'll bring a bucket and a bolt, and hope I don't need it.
Thanks and happy tinkering,

It seemed like it took me twice as long to do the actual pulling. Not to mention that it was more difficult.I pull together and put in separately. Have tried it different ways and that’s what I like.
Were you using a load leveler? If I didn’t have one I wouldn’t pull together. But even with a load leveler I can’t see wanting to put it back in together. Dropping the engine in takes a few minutes. Then trans on a trans jack and you’re either going to get it first shot or an hour of fiddling.It seemed like it took me twice as long to do the actual pulling.
