New part some might be interested in

[UNBROKEN]

These used to be available from David Lott but he hasn't had any made in several years so Joe Hellmann started making them again.
It's a sure fire fix to any draw straw issues some might be having with bigger fuel pumps.
I don't think any other vendors are making these ??
If so, Pat and I'm stepping on any toes then get rid of this thread.

Seems to be a sort of Dodge thing. Dmaxes really don't have too many problems when set up right.

But I'm puzzled. I always thought Dodges sucked pretty hard, so why the need?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Actually...the originals were made by David at Diesel Innovations for Ford trucks.
And...some people just don't wanna mess with figuring out a larger draw straw....this will eliminate that altogether.

But...if you wanna turn it into some more BS then just delete the thread....my bad for passing on a new part to you guys.
Won't happen again.

New product announcements or reviews are permitted. But linking to sites that ban diesel folk is probably silly.

Dmaxes typically use a "Trippin" pickup. Any fuel problems go away.

The first part answered the question. Don't really see the need for the red.

PS - I had nothing to do with editing your sig. Only because I didn't think of it first.

 

[TrentNell]

looks like a nice peice how much $$

Looks like that design would suck a lot of fuel, along with all the extra crap that sits on the bottom of the tank.

 

[SmokeShow]

that's what I was wondering about John, the gunk that can accumulate in the bottom of the tank over time.

It seems like a viable option for a full on race/competition vehicle though.

Would the internal ring that clamps inside the tank to the sump even fit throught the sender/pickup hole in our tanks or is that were that part about 6 inch hole saw and duct tape is left out?

good point, maybe they should make them square or oval so you can sent the piece though the hole you cut

Since it's on CompD, Who's copy of a copy of an original is it. Sorry, couldn't resist...

That's funny right there.

Those sumps are actually a very nice piece, been used on a lot of Fords for quite some time now. They are easy to install and work well. As far as sucking crap, dont put sh!t fuel in your truck. I would more prefer to use them on a truck that doesnt see daily driving and is more of race or pull vehicle. But they are nice and I would recomend them.
Also help eliminate the loss of prime in Fass systems that sometims occur.

I'ts an illusion. Looks like the fitting is a 1/2"NPT or a -10, so that would put some more perspective on the overall size.

 

[VABRacing]

It does use a -10 fitting. The over all size is not that big and the ring will fit through the sending unit hole.

Looks like Joe needs to get some solid endmills in for finishing instead of using insertables. Or better yet leave the round stuff to the lathe. Looks like an angry beaver nibbled that out.

Joe makes some nice stuff. That peice just does not look nearly as nice as his other stuff. With the right endmill it would not take much time at all to make that look far better. On a CNC lathe you can turn it so shiney you can see yourself in it. But the lathes I run are most likely way out of Joe's prices range.
