FWIW I just added a NAPA 8PSI 72 gal\hr helper pump this weekend, works great. I can dig out the box if anyone needs the part#. Cost was around $75. My F250 had a hole drilled in the frame rail in just the right place (luck), so it barely took 10 minutes to bolt the mount to the frame and wire\plumb the pump.

I changed out the sending unit/ fuel pump assembly on a '87 Ford Ranger V6 with such a pump. You can buy the pump by itself. It seems like this pump and strainer would work. Or, you could adapt the factory strainer to the bottom of the pump.

I have the Carter pump, works great. I'm thinking about putting the pump in the tank like Kwik did but I want to get a new pump first. One question, if I have a tank mounted pump and it fails, would a spare pump put back in the original position be able to suck fuel through the bad in-tank pump? My only concern would be to have a pump fail on the road and not be able to change it. Thanks, Steve.
How long ya been with that?
