tanks

as u all know my now i took my bed off my truck so u can re due my fuel tanks. ill go into some detail, i keep getting air in my lines. i belive it was from the PO putting in a 3rd tank and making a selector switch for it so i got fed up with fixing it and then it coming back and coming back worse. so i just wanted to bring it back to stock and get it to were air wont get in again...

im thinking would it be better to try and make it like the 7.3L system? i know the idi water seporator system wasnt to good, could i get a 7.3L and make it work? and my back tank has rust in it, wut is the best thing for cleaning it out and wut prosevitive is best for the application?

It is real simple to change it to the 7.3 system. The only one I changed I went the other way, but I just changed the bracket the filter header is on the fuel line from the pump fits either one.

I converted my buddy's '86 to the 7.3 water separator filter setup, all you need is the filter head and the filter from a 7.3 engine, IIRC lines and everything else just swaps over.
