Weekend project

This weekend putting on T500. Braided fuel lines with regulated return. Maybe hutch mod if I get to it.

The hutch mod with fuel injector clamps, not worm drive clamps, would be first on my list. Also, while you are in there, the harpoon is super easy. If you do it and delete the small nozzle restrictor on the fuel cap/neck tube you'll be able to fill up in about 2 min. at the big rig pumps. Saves a heck of a lot of time in the long run.

Good luck. Stay warm.

It is a nice kit. I think it used to come with worm drives. If it still does, most of the guys on here will tell you to replace them with high pressure injector clamps. Put two on the tank side of the quick disconnect lip and one on the filter/pump side of the factory fuel pick-up supply tube on top of the tank.

Hey , Good kit!, I hope you got the fuel bowl delete with it. I didn't and boy am I kicking myself for not doing it. Another 300 now if I want to do it.

The easy way is, after cleaning up/off any excess diesel, use a taper burr or flame burr rasp on a pneumatic drive or electric drill and give it a go for about 30 seconds while gradually increasing the circumference of the entire hole. The tank will obviously be dropped and you'll need to clean out the fill tube afterwards.
