Dual tanks
Fellas,
It would be way more convenient to fill up both tanks and be able to run 600 miles at a time rather than the 250ish fillup. It comes too fast haha. All the lines and stuff are run but how do i incorproate the rear tank into the system, the switch recognizes it and tells me that it is empty, should i test it by putting a few gallons in and seeing if it will pump the fuel out of the hose. It ends at approximately the fuel filter and is just sitting coiled for now. Can i just "t" in somewhow? Where should that be in the system? Thanks guys,
Josh

Fuel lift pump should be on the engine rt side front...... not in the tank.
There should be a FSV (fuel selector valve) under the drivers side in the frame rail. Both tanks are supposed to go to it with 2 lines each. The selector valve will draw fuel and replace excess from/to the tank selected normally. May be the PO had a problem and just thought he could bypass the valve. The excess fuel must return to the tank selected.
PM me an email addy and I will forward info re fuel lines/FSV and tanks, use subject: fuel tanks/FSV
