More $$ left our bank account & went to Summit's last night. :cry:
next up is getting the fuel system nailed down-- upgrade pump and plumb delivery & return lines, which will be an education in AN fittings. Gotta paint the fuel cell skid.

Thanks Pete! :)
Got the fuel delivery line mostly bent up last night-- 3/8 stainless hard line is hard to bend! Gotta bend up the return and run the ARB line. Then get them all clamped to the frame.

Fuel lines in, ready for another box of AN stuff from Summit
A little detail on flaring stainless. It isn't easy. After a bit of trial & error, I came up with a tapered plug to keep the line from crushing. Also found it was best to rough up the tube with some 120 grit sandpaper , to keep the tool from slipping on the tube.
The plug is tapered slightly in length (.005) to allow for easier removal and as you can see the head of it is flared at roughly 37 degrees as well to allow the tool fo notinterfere with it
Vasyl came over and help me most of the day on Tuesday, which I very much appreciated. He got the rear tailgate mounted and ready for paint and also prepped/degreased the entire tub. Thank you Vasyl!

Well, with the turbo, you need more fuel. The stock pump puts out 95 LPH. I needed something more like 200 LPH. I ended up going with the Aeroquip stealth pump. It puts out over 300 LPH. The trick was mounting it in the stock location. I also needed to install a -6AN fitting on the fuel pump output line. I'm going to use two of the 3 -8AN fittings on the tank for vent and return.
Here are a few details shots of the installation and of the in-tank filters that allow fuel delivery at steep sided angles
The double gasket on the stock unit
A quick peek in the tank, for how it all looks.
Going to put a second coat on the skid and hopefully get this thing installed today.

Looks good.
On the filters in the tank, what is the rubber hose you used at the ends? Regular fuel injection hose?Dan M.
