M818/M817 recovery!

[Postman515]

I'm getting ready to recover 2 trucks. I'm wanting to bypass fuel tanks and go directly to filter or pump and needed to know what size fittings, fuel line etc. Just need to get them running long enough to get on trailer. Thanks!

Can't you look at your other trucks?

I sold the only 809 series I have at home. My 929's have 8.3L.
Last minute decision to go this route instead of fighting the old fuel. I'm in town getting some stuff and thought somebody might know the fitting size so I could pick up what I need.

I think they are 3/8" copper line, flare fittings.

Mine has brass inverted flare to push-lock (for rubber hose) fittings at the pump. 1/2" supply and 3/8" return. If yours is the same, just cut the old hose off at the supply fitting and push on a temporary length of hose long enough to reach your temp. fuel supply. No need to fool with the return for your limited use.

Great! Thanks!

I got them both home yesterday in one trip! It was 30 degrees and they both fired up with new batteries. Now the fun begins!
