I'm trying to think how you could set up the stock bowl w/ electric fuel, but part of the gain to electric fuel is getting rid of the stock bowl. the stock bowl doesn't flow all that great IMO. it wouldn't cost much to swap to filters on the frame rail either. Mind if i ask why your wanting to keep the stock bowl?

Do you think the pump could be placed to were it would pull fuel from the tank to the bowl then into the heads cause that's what i'm going to try tomorrow

If I remember right, the SD pump puts out over 100 PSI.
The fuel filter lid on the OBS has almost 12.5 sq. in of area.
So that lid would have to hold over 1250 pounds of total pressure.
I don't see that happening.

The lid and housing are what will see the high pressures since they have so much surface area.
100 PSI is not that much, but when it is on a large surface area those numbers start adding up fast.

The stock filter housing is not designed for that kind of pressure.
If you want to try it, carry a fire extinguisher with you and be prepared for a LOT more $$ in repairs if it does let go.
Is it really worth burning your truck to the ground in a blaze of glory to try to prove that an idea may or may not work?
I might sound extreme, but we're talking about possibly spraying fuel on a hot motor, and that's not something I would mess with. It might hold for a minute, maybe a month, maybe a year or 2. But IF it does crack the housing or blow the lid off, what then?
Just do it right the first time and don't worry about it.
