Fuel pump

Hi i got a new fuel tank giving to me for a 93 f150 with the fuel pump inside inside the tank

I'd just do away with the electric pump and use your mechanical pump like you would with any other tank on these trucks.

Fuel pump

If i did away with the fuel pump in the tank how would i use the gas gauge then . but i just hooked the 78 fuel line to the fuel pump in the tank and it wont start .it has a new mechanical fuel pump on the truck and a new line .then i put the hose in a gas can and it starts right up but hook it up to the gas tank with the fuel pump in the tank and it wont start

i dont believe it will flow thru that electric pump. Why dont you keep that sending unit in so you can use the gauge then drill another hole and use a bulkhead fitting to run the fuel line in.
