Jeff-
I used some 14 ga. wire that I had in the shop. It looked to be the same size and worked fine. The 16ga. that I also had looked to small so I went with the 14.

I moved my fuel pump to the inside of the tank.
Best move I ever did for the truck.
Without typing it all out again, here is the link.

I just had my tank out today to investigate whether the inside was getting corroded due to the ULSD.
Good news, ZERO corrosion, the inside of the tank look brand spankin' new.
I did a volume test with the pump before I put the tank back in.
1/2 gallon in 30 seconds - that ought to be enough to keep up with anything I'll ever need.

Yep, basically have all the parts together, minus a few odds and ends, that wiring and some wire loom to cover it is all I need to get. Hopefully I can find the time to install everything here soon. I don't know if I will be able to take pics though, my girlfriend has my camera, which she has had for months now.

This really is the place that the pump needed to be mounted in the first place.

I think as long as all the connections between the fuel tank and the pump inlet are completely sealed up, no air can get in, then it really doesn't matter.
