Hutch Mod
Just completed the Hutch Mod, and everything seemed to go well.
Truck started nice afterwards, but the fuel gauge is reading full, and I know there are only 7 gallons in the tank.
Put the pick-up assy back in exactly how it came out.
Anyone else encounter this?
Is it a reset problem?
Had I known I would never have to buy fuel again, I would have done this mod sooner!

I wonder if the float was a little hung up. Good to hear it is fixed. Did you do the helper pump too?

I carefully used my dremel to clean it a bit, but did not want to get to aggressive out of fear of damaging the ceramics, and having to spring for a new one.
Did the pre-pump filter, so I will probably install a Carter 4070 in the near future.
Did you also Harpoon it?

Hmm, I've never heard of doing the filler hose. I am (or was) sure the Harpoon mod is simply cutting the vent tube as flush as possible. That's what I did and it works great.

My fuel gauge has never been the same since I did my itp pre pump kit. First time it was 1/4 tank off, second time its 1/8 tank off. Never been right since. Now I just fill ub by miles driven. Any ideas? It works fine when I manipulate it manually out of the tank.

But the instructions ITP sent with my kit, stated that both the vent, and the filler hose tube should be cut as close as possible.
