If you can run one tank dry, and stick a vacuum in the filler of the other tank, you’ll get just a dribble coming out of the lines
So what did you do with your truck today?

Thanks Wes, that should help. The front tank has been completely unhooked for a few weeks now (since I dropped the tank to fix the pickup). I'm hoping to do it this weekend so I'll just run low on fuel in the rear too to help.
There was quite the interesting 'other way' to do this somewhere on here [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Today I added at least 50 horsepower with this simple trick-

Stupid me picked up another rig.
She's a 1987 F-350 cab-and-chassis truck. 2wd, dually with a 12x8 flatbed and lift gate(!)
She has a 6.9 IDI, C6... and a ATS Turbocharger on it!
The bad is that it has a bad spot on the ring gear, so it'll crank about 7/8 of a revolution before having to be manually barred past the bad spot.
She (eventually) fired and ran(and ran well!), but ended up running out of fuel halfway home(hence the trailer).
I paid $600.

I think you did good for $600!
You could sell the flatbed for $600 and keep the lift gate! I'd say it was a steal!
Played plumber and electrician today.
Finally I can switch between tanks again!
I had it working and then the truck died. Turned out I had the wires completely backwards. It was showing 1/4 tank, and was set to rear which HAS a quarter tank, but was pulling from the empty front tank! Switched the wires out and we're good!
This is the old pump I pulled out.
No markings that I can identify but it wasn't keeping up at rpms. Yesterday coming home my fuel filter light kept coming on. Pretty sure it was actually the pump not the filter, if you've seen my posts you'll understand!
EDIT: Ironically my projects today were EXACT opposites. I was putting a mechanical pump on my gasser and removing the electric while removing the mechanical on my IDI and putting on an electric!

Drove it to the gas station with 1/8 of a tank. First time I've EVER been able to run under a quarter tank. It was pretty nerve racking knowing I could run out of fuel but it's nice to know it can run below 1/4 now!
New fuel pump runs great! Good to have it working right now!

I just installed a Wicked Wheel 2 in my hypermax pulse van kit. Holy balls. Amazing. It basically doubled my boost and lowered my EGT's 100-200 degrees. I haven't even played with the timing and fuel screw yet.
