JYJ, HOW DO YOU PLAN ON RUNNING YOUR RETURN LINE TO TANK? DO YOU HAVE THE TANK IN THE CAB OR DID YOU MOVE IT? I'VE SEEN SENDING UNITS IN THE LMC CATALOG WITH THE RETURN LINE MADE INTO IT. DO YOU KNOW IF THIS WILL FIT ANY OF OUR TANKS OR IS IT SPECIFIC TO A YEAR MODEL OR OPTION? I SAW A COUPLE OF TRUCKS IN A GUYS YARD TODAY AND STOPPED. ONE OF THE TRUCKS HAD THE SAME SENDING UNIT I WAS SPEAKING OF. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE GUY DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO OF IT. BUT IT DID LOOK LIKE IT WOULD 'VE FIT.

DIDN'T MEAN TO BLIND SIDE YA, I MEANT TO TELL YOU AT THE BEGINNING THAT I JUST PURCHASED THE SAME EFI YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN ANOTHER POST

I'VE GOT A TANK OUT OF A EARLY 80s BLAZER THAT I'M PUTTING IN, & IT HAS THE EXTRA TUBES FOR THE RETURN LINE IN THE SENDING UNIT ALREADY.

Question to JUNKYARDJOHN:

Did you have to fab any brackets to mount that tank in your truck? What year blazer did you tank come from? Thank you. fatman

junkyardjohn · 03-30-2003, 05:38 PM

I HAVEN'T MOUNTED THE TANK IN THE FRAME YET, BUT IT FITS OK. I'M GOING TO USE THE STRAPS OUT OF THE BLAZER TO HOLD IT IN. IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL HAVE TO DRILL A COUPLE OF HOLES IN THE FRAME RAILS FOR THE STRAP ENDS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'LL MOUNT UP OK. I'LL POST A DETAILED DESRIPTION OF THE INSTALL AS SOON AS I GET IT DONE.

Hey thanks for the info JUNKYARDJOHN, I'll be looking forward to the description of your installation.

Fatman.

Me too, tank behind the seat Must Go!

BTW what's the best place to put filler hose?

junkyardjohn · 03-30-2003, 08:07 PM

I'M PLANNING ON PUTTING THE FILLER BEHIND THE SIDE MARKER. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT WILL BE ANY MORE WORK THAN GRAFTING IN A FILLER DOOR.
