You guys thoughts on sumps

[windrunner408]

This is where a sump would not be advantageous but as long as you arent dragging your tank over rocks, I would just get a skid plate to cover it and call it a day. JMO though.

What size and type of line is everyone running from the sump to the filter, and where are you buying it at? Sorry for the derail

 

[windrunner408]

I have 5/8" (10AN) Aeroquip Pushlock hose that I use. I get all of my fuel line components through Summit Racing.

 

[BlueScab]

Thank you! Walking into the local parts stores and asking for 5/8" line is a wash.LOL

Hydraulic/hose shop should have everything you need to make a fuel system minus the pump and regulator.

Yea I bet. 10AN (or 5/8") line is what I run from my sump to AD150 and from the AD150 to the A1000. Then from the A1000 to the y-block is 8AN (or 1/2") and then from the y to the front of the heads is 6AN (or 3/8"). I have used both stainless steel braided hose and just the push lock sytle and each has their benefits. The key though is the line size and use good fittings like Aeroquip. Hope this helps.

I built all of my fuel lines out of aeroquip braided stainless line from summit along with anodized fittings.

 

[windrunner408]

Yea the main thing I like about aluminum anodized fittings is that they wont rust like what you would get if you went to a hydraulic shop. JMO though.

I have some stainless and some aluminum fittings, my stainless fittings I got from the local parker dealer arent rusting, I even have some steel that look brand new.

I'm using fragola push lok hose with a braided nylon covering instead of stainless.
It's called black nylon race hose. All fittings are aluminum fragola anodized black.

i have a hellman sump thanks to 09stroker but otherwise i was going to go with a CP sump since they are some good looking units

I really like that hose. Simple to assemble and great abrasion protection without it rubbing into things like stainless steel braided lines.

Do any of you guys run your rigs off road? More than playing in the mud I mean. I get into some thick stuff and would be concerned about a line comming off or the sump catching on something.

I run my truck off road with a sump installed. I have never had any problems. I'm talking about thick North Florida and south Alabama swamp/thickets.

I have a set of PMF traction bars, they block any heavy stuff. It also helps that I have 7 inches of lift on 36s.
