Thanks Barry. I have to sit around the shop this weekend and baby sit.. So, there is no extra pay for it, but it is part of my job, and it is a needed so I can get this project of mine completed. So, thought I would give the truck a little TLC with the use of a forklift while I gave support to the contractors ( as needed).

Pat...Good deal.It is not a bad job and it sounds like you will be able to take your time to get it done.You will really like the (Harpoon) and being able to fill your tank faster/full...Good luck/Take care
P.S...Make sure you get the cap on right and it seal.Alighn the arrows and keep the tab in the tab slot.You will see what I am talking about when you get the lid off....Had to pull my tank twice to alighn the cap.

You need 5/16 and 3/8 tubing.I used 1/4 in place of the 5/16 because I had it available.Just had to use a 1/4 x 5/16 coupling.

I plan on using steel brake line from Auto Zone when I do mine. Cheap and people say it the steel alone holds up nicely.

If this is the fuel line that you can run the bio through you might pm Chris(F350-6).We did the intank mods together and he bought the hose so he knows where to get it.He will see this thread as well and will get back to us on it.

Hey Pop's...It is not a hard job,just make sure you have the right stuff that Guzzle has in his procedure.You could drop the tank by yourself but it is easier with another set of hands.

I will Barry, thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm doing the PS flush in a bit and then do some reading on this procedure.

if you can get 30r9 hose for that price you better buy the whole roll. the guy probably misquoted it is usually around 3.70 a foot. just so youre not surprised.....
