I'm installing a secondary stock fuel tank on the driver side where the spare tire was. I picked up a complete tank with sending unit and pump.
I did some research and I read it is a pain to plumb the tanks to the same line, and it is easier to pump fuel from the secondary into the main tank with a switch to power up the aux fuel tank pump.
I'm not interested in keeping the fuels separate.
I'm pretty sure I can wire an ON-OFF-ON switch to be able to check the level in either tank using the leads from the sending units to the two ON tabs.
Right now I'm just thinking about the plumbing.
Can I use normal fuel injection hose? I could run pipe but it would be simpler to just use barb fittings and run hose.
When I look at the tank, I see a plumbing location on the top that appears to be unused and I'm wondering if I can connect the line from the axillary pump to that connection on the main tank to dump fuel in. My one tank appears to have a plugged 90 deg elbow in the location and my other tank appears to have a small valve, like an air tank valve that is closed.
I'm looking for a picture to show what I mean...
Also, which TM has the information on setting the fuel pump height?
Thanks guys!
