Re: sending unit sock
Sounds to me like it could eat up some plastic on the float or pump in the tank. I don't know that though!

Re: sending unit sock
These socks have been known to fall apart in the tank. Stir up what's in the tank with a blown out sock, you're setting yourself up for garbaging up your carb, whether its filtered or not.

Re: sending unit sock
the right way ( only way) is to drop the tank or pull the bed for access

Re: sending unit sock
if u just want to move the truck from one spot to another.
get ur self a 5 galon tank run a rubber line to the bed where the gas tank will be. be shure to put a inline filter in the rubber hose. also tie down gas tank. And presto after market gas tank for some one that has to move the truck. Remeber if its not electric fuel pump (or mine isnt)
