Fuel system: I assume you've read through that separate thread I created on the subject... I will admit I've been struck with Paralysis by Analysis on the fuel issue. I've read that dual tank thread by Hatzie front to back... I'm familiar with the Pollack EFI rated 6 port switch valve, I guess I am just not 100% comfortable with that setup. I know the valve is "rated" for 65 psi, its more the thought of 6 fuel lines, held in place by hose clamps, up under the truck just leaves me uneasy. Compared to a set of nice stout An-6 fittings leading directly to the fuel rail. I just can't shake the feeling that something in that valve, or the switch and its wiring will eventually fail.

How about.... Dual tanks but only 1 EFI supply set-up?

Set the pass side tank up as your dedicated EFI supply tank. Have a driver side tank as extra capacity & utilize a cheap Carter low psi external electric pump as a fuel transfer pump only?

Un-complicates the whole switching valve/extra hose needs as far as the EFI goes & yet still allows double the fuel volume which can be transferred via a 12v toggle switch when desired.

Just thinking of easy alternatives outside of a Burb tank.
