Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

I'm going to do away with all the OEM fuel lines that are on the truck now. Most of it is either braided or high psi rubber. Very little hard line, and most of it is what runs from the DS tank to the PS.

I will probably use the cross member that the hard lines are on that run from the DS to the PS, and fab a bracket on there right in the middle to hold both filters. Then basically both tanks will be plumbed to the middle of the frame, then 2 lines running together down to the valve. I'll probably ditch the Dorman fittings for the inlet side of the filters, and use Russell AN fittings. That way I can have 90* fittings coming off the back of the filter that will help to make a straighter shot over to the sending units.



Then I'll make a bolt-on cover to shield both filters. Mounting and shielding the filters will be a little more work, but I think the install will look cleaner in the end.
