Cool I was thinkin that they fit through sending unit hole for some reason. If not ED is right with cuttin the slots that would work pretty good and minimize the amount of slicing and mess.
Do you mean like the one i run ( hellman unit) or something different ? or do you meen a actual sump pump inside the tank ?
Trent, is your sump centered on the tank or is it slightly to the side towards the body? It doesn't look centered with this pic. If you get a chance would you mind posting a few more from different angles

thats not my pic Larry, I just used as a example :rofl: , mine is centered in the tank , and is just in front of the rear tank strap .
Looks centered to me, maybe it's the angle that is throwin you. Or maybe it's the angle that is throwin me?
Did you do yours yet Larry?

Do you thin it should be mounted to the rear of the tank as in picture or maybe more toward the center front to back of the truck?
Does anybody know the return rate from the Fass to the tank, we're tinkering with the idea of using a drawstraw to the bottom of the tank for the return rather than the filler neck

could help with the foaming ? , i have never worried bout it though

depends on the return rate pressure I would think, although looking how the filler neck is just shooting fuel in from the top :thinking2: using a big hole, returning the fuel with a 1/2 inch drawstraw might increase velocity.......good thing I have a new tank with no crud in it to experiment with
I talked to the guys from Airdog at RPM Fest in LaPorte Indiana and they have come out with a revised system that has a sump type pick with a trap door to keep fuel in the basket when it sloshs away. We have installed their units on a few trucks and the straw setup is terrible Not sure if the info will help but thought I would throw it out there

Good info - thanks. I will be keeping my eyes open for this.
Let me know if you decide to go with the Air Dog updated sump setup we are a dealer for Air Dog stuff. Might be able to get you a better deal than just buying it some where else
That to me is stepping on the toes of paying vendors here.....I could be wrong though

I read about all the draw straw issue and jsut wonder what people are doing differently???? I have driven to the track with the low fuel light on in my truck and raced all night with no ill effects on performance.
68Skylark did most of the install, I just helped "a little" the hellman is mounted sorta inthe middle of the tank towards the driver side more so, the drawstraw return is on the flat part on the top of the tank.
