Actually, I didnt forget to mention it - I just didnt because the truck already has a freshly rebuilt IP...so mis un_glue_ed should already know all about the importance of cooling and lubricating the IP...

But, yeah, the stock banjo bolts are a huge bottleneck - its really best to get rid of them.

Miss_un_glued is at work right now so I'll go ahead and put in my $0.02 right now all she has is the juice on the truck and that is all that is it going to have for a while, its not a race truck or a sled puller so for the time being the juice is all that it is getting

The stock LP is dead and she needs it fixed asap and a stock replacement was $160 and the holly blue around $140 + the harness $46 makes going with the holly a whole $26 higher then the stock replacement

If/when she does add more power to it then i will eliminate the banjo's and put a bigger draw straw and everything but for now just the pump will work besides i can get JIC fittings and fuel hose here so i don't have to get that stuff from Vulcan and if i can find all the fittings that i need next week then i might go ahead and change them all out but to me $115 for some fittings, little bit of hose, and a wiring harness is a little steep

BTW thanks for yall's help with this problem it is much appreciated

oh yeah if anybody has a pic of where/how they installed their holly pump i would love to see that it would really help when i put her's on

thanks

Take some advice from a fool. I built me whole fueling system from scratch. Every inch of line, every fitting even my own fuel pick up from the tank. What a pain in the ass. A dozen trips to the raceshop for different size fittings, not to mention a couple that were almost impossible to find and a few hundred dollars more than a kit by the time I added it all up. It looks like a simple project, but it's not and those $2-$10 a piece fittings that seem cheap add up quicker then I ever dreamed of. I learned an incredible amount about our 24V fueling system doin it, but never again. Here is a link to an article I wrote after doing all this in case anybody is interested. It's just a quick guide to the system and the different components of it.

On the final few posts, were going to say this issue is resolved.
