I finally got on to see the pics (can't see them from my phone for some reason). Looks really good Bill! That oil drain looks spot on. What size is the fitting and what did you use to cut the o-ring groove?
That is a piece of 1/2" I.D. pipe that I drilled out to 9/16" and tapped the top end for 3/8" pipe thread. My buddy up at the machine shop at work cut the grove in it on a lathe and I used the 0-ring off an old fuel pump. The fitting is 3/8 pipe to #8 JIC.

I think he is talking about dual fuel pumps. I set my mount up for dual fuel pumps just in case there are any future mods.....like bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bigger this, bigger that...............

I've only been to Texas once. I didn't care much for the part I was in, just outside Lampasas.

Just for an update, haven't done much to the truck this past week. Been busy trying to make a few extra bucks to have enough to finish this thing the way I want to. I also turned my shop completely upside down about the middle of the week because it was just too cluttered and it was getting very aggravating to work in. I moved everything around and cleaned really good and it is gonna feel so much better when I get started back on the truck. I've also been waiting on parts too

That's where I'm at, waiting on parts. My 38 gallon tank will be here Tue and my soundproofing material will be here Thur. I've been putting off pulling the bellows, I don't know why?
