Question: In cab - in tank electric fuel pump?

My '65 has the stock in cab tank with a carbureted L31 350 that has no provision for a mechanical fuel pump. Been running a frame mount pump for the last couple years and second unit just bit the dust. Want to do this right once and for all and install a proper in tank pump w/return system. Tanksinc has a couple of options that look good. Anyone here have some suggestions-experience using the stock tank w/ an in tank pump??

Thanks,

Steve weim55 Colorado

Now that's a good idea! Was wondering how I could fit all that through such a small hole. Problem solved! Any thoughts surrounding the pump itself?

Thanks for the info,

I like the idea of an in tank pump, but I wonder if it will be too noisy inside the cab? Just thinking, but would not want you to do all the work and end up with something unsatisfactory.
Your thoughts?

You only hear it for a few seconds when you first turn the key on

Keep it topped off, loud exhaust and turn up the tunes should cover it!

Im sure they are not that noisy!

Re: Question: In cab - in tank electric fuel pump?

I thought about the noise inside the cab too...... The frame mount pump makes a good bit of noise itself and I don't care for it. Assuming the in tank pump will just have the same quiet 'buzz' most late model trucks have and I think I can deal with that. Might just do some dynamat over the outside of the tank if it's too annoying.
