When you are pulling fuel from the front tank and returning it there how can it overflow? You run on the front tank first then switch to rear tank and when most of the full has been put into the front tank again you just switch back to front tank.

If you dont want to put a hole in the tank just get yourself a fill tube adaptor with a port in it to return the fuel thru.

 

no, if i have a full front tank and i feed from the rear tank the front is going to over flow.

 

Yes, but thats wrong anyway.. like i said, you should run the front tank first. If youre worried about someone else driving it get a label maker and stick a note by the tank switch " front tank first" or something. If youre REALLY worried about it, tell them theres a short in the back tank and not to use it because the truck could explode

 

Just light the biotch on fire

 

I've been running the front tank first on my truck for years, it's not a hassle at all. Ever since I bought it it's been pumping fuel from the rear to the front if I run the rear.

 

This ^^^^idea entered my mind today.....would this be an option or would there still be issues?

 

I dont see why it would be, primary filter would be before the fuel pump, aka not pressurized.

Sounds like a pretty slick idea.. might just go that route myself.

 

either do a dedicated return, or put a stock lift pump back on it and be done. Why make it difficult?

 

yeah, i am just not sure if the fact that it is still not dumping the return into "open-ness" is going to be an issue. the return just needs a place to go, which it did not the way i was running it......now that i think about it a little more though...the e-pump would kind of create a suction on the return line(seeing as how it would be tied into the feed into the lift pump so to speak), thus helping evacuate the return from the regulator, i doubt that it needs any help but hey......idk though LOL.

the only thing though is if the feed from the tank could go back out the port that the return is going into rather than only going out the outlet to the pump....not totally sure if there is some sort of check valve in the filter heads or not.....

 

why does what i do or don't do bother you so much........

i had a question and asked it...nothing wrong with that. like i said before, if what i am doing/not doing pains you so much then don't pay attention to what i am doing....let me fail, what do you care? when i fail after not doing what you told me to do in the first place it just makes you look that much better which is what your after right? you act like every word you say is gold and if some body doesn't follow exactly what you say then they are wrong..not saying what your telling me to do is wrong, it clearly works for you and i am sure it would work for me. would be the easiest next to putting a stock pump/smaller pump in, but is just to janky for me. i just don't like the idea of the set-up and i am looking at other options. at the end of the day if i end up with the same set-up you have then that's fine, there are just other options than your word.......

 

Could you "t" into the supply line before the pump with the return?

 

that is essentially what would be going on with the filter head set up like i was asking about.

 

is there any turning point where you say,look i never had any use for such high pressure on my idi anyway,it didn't work out and turned into being more hassle,time,and money than it was worth,and just calling uncle and putting a tried and true solid state dura-lift on there and be done inside a half hour?
i just tossed another one on my wood chipper the other day and bypassed it's mechanical.just to get a see through bowl and stainless washable screen.the electric part of it was just a bonus.

 

updates?..

 

I don't think he is going to post here about it, too much truth will come out... I confronted him on FB, and his response was to delete me from his friends, and delete his little post which was a rant about R&D...

Basically... He is frustrated, which is understandable, but I have bent over backward to try and help him, and he totally burned this bridge by exploding without having any sort of definitive anything saying both pumps I sent him, as well as his old one were bad... He installed a pump that was damaged from shipping before he even contacted me, saying he "fixed" it.... And then he wonders why it idles high... I told him how to adjust the idle under the bell, on the min/max setup, he replied by saying he got it to idle, everything was good.... Then, after a week, I open up facebook, and see a diatribe against R&D for selling complete and utter crap... Keep in mind his truck still isn't running right, and he still hasn't figured out his issue, but the scapegoat is R&D, because its convenient...

I don't know what to say, other than I am more than willing to make everything right, above and beyond any sort of economic worth something is to me, I would (And have) spend my own money to make a customer happy, to make sure everything is right... But when somebody approaches it in the manner Eric has, what can I do but cut my losses and walk away? Sorry dude.... Adults operate in an Adult manner... You've insulted the most honest guy there is... You can go your own way, and by all means, I hope it is more fruitful...
