Draw Straw

[GROSSpolluter]

What is everyone running for fuel pick up? My fuel lines are dry rotting since they are 8 years old or so, and while I'm at it I was thinking of harpooning the tank and possibly adding a 5/8" draw straw. Unless some has a better solution

I don't know if they allow it where you are but could go with a sump.

Harpoon mod on mine, I can squeeze in 30 gallons if I run right down to fumes. About 4 gal more than before.

I dont know if I would feel comfortable cutting a 3" hole in the bottom of a perfectly good fuel tank...and having the fuel line exposed. Maybe for a track only truck it would be ok. I was thinking drill a hole in the top of the factory pick up assembly to get a bigger straw in there something like this

Draw tube. 5/8" is fine. What lift pump? Sump exposes your fuel system to all the debris and hopes your filters catch it all.

Not sure why this wouldn't work, although it doesn't show to fit... sending unit is supposed to be excellent quality as well.

That thing looks like what I need, but doesn't cover 6.4. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow

A bigger draw straw will gain you nothing. Leave the factory set up.
