'93 150 two tanks fuel pump after market replacement
At my age (72) not really into pulling the bed off the truck to change fuel pump AGAIN! Has any one experiences with a aftermarket EXTERNAL EFI style fuel pumps. If so how do you install. Would I have remove bed (anyways) to extract old pump and wiring and add a suction pipe and strainer? I'm thinking the new replacement pumps are crap and I want something I can replace externally. This is probably my last truck I'm gonna own anyways. This truck has the inline six with automatic transmission if it helps.

It's got two tanks and when I switch over to the other tank it runs (it really doesn't get more technical than that). And no, I didn't hook a fuel pressure gauge up to it to check. I've not ran the truck in two years. I went and bought another truck when this one quit. I can't tell you now which tank wasn't working. I've read 'bout people just cutting holes in the bed over the tank access and then just fabbing a home made cover plate. I may do that. I quit buying Ford products when the started putting those chain drive overhead camshaft engine in the trucks. I'll admit to being opinionated of the style of engine I work on OR own. I DO like the EFI style though.

There are many on here that only use one tank. If you are selling it, you can sell it no problem with just one tank and they can install the other if they want. You can cut a hole in the bed and fab a cover but that is not the i\deal way. Of course if you can get it started (might take some starter fluid) then you will find the working tank and leave the other alone or cut the hole or take off the bed or drop the tank. If I could do it anyway I want, I would remove the bed and replace the Fuel delivery module ( the whole pump thing).
When you do whatever you are going to do listen for the fuel pumps running after 2-3 seconds after turning the key but not to start. . If that happens you may have a bad PCM if you have no start when you try to start it. Of course running a fuel pressure check would be the ideal way if you are replacing the pump if bad.

My opinion.
Don't mutilate your truck bed. On certain bed length/cab configurations, the fwd tank FDM is below the frame crossmember so cutting a hole in the bed won't help you.
Adding an external fuel pump is a poor idea. The reason the pumps are located in the tank is to help keep the pump cool, the pump quiet, and it keeps the pump primed.
The ford engineers did a really good job designing the fuel system on these trucks. You're not gunna make it better by slapping pumps on it.
Buy the most expensive pump or FDM you can afford so you won't have to replace it for another 20 years.
