Picking up a 6 gallon fuel cell tonight.
6 gallon, because its what's readily available, and I'm cheap.
Plus last time I had her out I played for 3-4 hours and didn't even use 4 gallons... I'll just make sure I have an extra 5 gallon tank full with me or in the truck.
Going to run the ford E2000 external pump. Routed into factory hard line.
Would have just relocated factory tank, but its cracked pretty good. So away it goes.

Slapped this thing in there n let her idle for a bit. Just need to finish up the vent/tip over valve. Pump works good idling. Test drive tomorrow morning.

I don't know if I would want it right in the middle, seems like you could move it over and have space for more stuff. It's so tiny lol.

I might bite if shipping isn't crazy because of a "liquid, fragile, hazardous, or potentially dangerous" package as the USPS says. But what momma don't know wont hurt her.

Went out to rocks and valleys today. Had a blast. Didn't get too many pics but got a few. Will upload later. Banged her around on some rocks pushed one of my 2x6 sliders up into the passenger doors...rippled them alittle. Nothing a sledge hammer can't fix.
Also these stupid ****ing E2000 fuel pumps are all the hype over on pirate...I've had nothing but bad luck with them. Went through 3 this week and the one I have in now is also junk. So fought fuel issues all day...made the best of it still.

This is my fuel pump set up, pre filter, pump then to factory hard lines. Rollover vent valve got to factory vent line

I've gone through 3 of these e2000 pumps already. I don't know what the deal is but they seem to run fine for the first 5 mins, after that they cut in and out/turn off and on. I ran a jumper wire thinking maybe my wiring was funky somewhere, made no difference. I know its being fed fuel by gravity as its below the tank... My only thought is maybe its building up so much pressure that its shutting its self down? Regardless though it should run continuously... ???
