Been making very slow progress due to having to go into town every day.
Spent 2 warm days pulling parts and running, while the hauler just sits.
After having mixed feelings about the fuel system, I ended up NOT replacing the fuel tanks, but re-plumbing them instead.
I'm not a plumber or electrician, but I feel like a bit of both, the hauler is so long, (17 and a half foot wheelbase, baby!!!) it's like plumbing and wiring a house!!!
The worst is having to do fuel supply AND returns.
It ain't cheap, neither.
All that being said, I did manage to get the supply and return lines all ran up to the switching valve, now I need to come up with
18 feet of both 5/16" (return) and 3/8" (supply) steel fuel line for the engine side of the valve, both return and supply.
FYI, the truck is just under 30 feet long.
Of that @ 20 feet of it is fuel line, it's not something you can safely do with rubber lines, (That's what I am removing!) plus rubber lines that long decrease vacuum pressure with flexing, causing fuel supply issues.
Still a long road ahead, but it's closer to actually running.
Mark.
