That's the whole story... question and answers. If you want to see if you need the mod before you drop it, install a clear in-line diesel fuel strainer (not filter). I'm Declaring this right now: Most who try this one little expereiment will eagerly drop the tank.
Foot drops happen, but they are not in the majority... air in the fuel is. Just because your truck ain't dead, doesn't mean it ain't a hurtin'. Nobody can possibly know how loud their truck is or how much performance they've lost until after they've conducted a Hutch mod.

And maybe a size, if it isn't 3/8" tubing?

Before
After
I made a bash plate for the big filter and just left it there when I went to the strainer, but the strainer would be easy to guard with a simpler device.
The pump tubing is 5/16" and the tank tubing is 3/8". I have never found a tubing adaptor that works with vacuum, so the solution is different for everybody. I just jammed everything together and clamped the snot out of it. It ain't sexy, but it doesn't make bubbles.
