Lift pumps

So you think the fuel sits still in your tank when you drive down the road? :spit::rofl::roflmao: What about the return line pissing fuel back into the tank? Do you think that causes bubbles? There is air present in the fuel ALL OF THE TIME. Believe me or not, its true.

The return line from the engine is affixed in the fuel cup next to the supply, no air gap so to speak...

Did you seal the port on the sending/pickup head that would act as an atmospheric vent, the one marked old supply in my picture?

I sealed it off w/ a cap and wire tie.

funny thing w/ my set up.

where I return the fuel from the Fass,,when the tank is filled to the top of the fill neck.my tank reads low fuel on DIC and gauge is below empty.Go 52miles and it all of a sudden pops off empty and reads correct.
when I tow my boat ,I can only go 36-42miles before it pops.

so if any one copies my set up,,move the return.

That's one hole I do not want to drill, read where one guy on another site was not paying attention with the 3" hole saw and it got away from him. It scuffed the sealing surface and he installed it without smoothing the scuff marks. Needless to say he had a drip a day later, what surprised me most is he posted his mistake for others to learn. Bad part, I had warned him a day earlier about 3" hole saws and using a low RPM drill preferably not a 3/8 cordless and a low RPM corded 1/2" drill.....

I work and rig alot of boats,,first rule in cutting thru gel coat and fiber glass,,start in reverse,once deep enough,go forward and slow.

exactly,run the plywood blade backwards in the slide saw too.
I guess some construction skills can be used in other places.

It's two different metals that make up the blade:thumb:

And carbide blades have carbide edges bonded to the steel tool body. These last much longer in steel, fiberglass, and other hard or abrasive materials.

Ding, take a look at a used blade with the paint removed, you'll see a laser weld joining the hardened teeth to the softer metal for flexibility..:thumb:

Any one using a PPE fuel cup in the pickup assembly?
