when i installed my airdog on my last truck i put it as close to the tank as possible the reason for this is a pump is meant to push not pull makes it easier on the pump so it will last longer

dont drill into the frame... They make the setup so you dont have to do that

its just a inline ddrp04 with out the fiters.
i also sent you a pm

ok i think im going to mount it by the tank.i will have to cut a section of steel fuel line to run rubber hose to the pumps in and out ports.my concern is using hose clamps on the cut metal ends.will the pressure push the hose off?

i wouldnt cut and splice it in just buy the hose kit that runs from tank to the engine then you will have bigger lines from tank to the filter my thought

Pm sent back, the way the kit is setup is fine and will work like its suppose to, I wouldnt worry about relocating and reengineering what they already tested and made work.

the spot by the tank gives me more room,(cant get my drill in where they sugest to mount it) i will still be able to use the quick connect thay supplied,just have to cut out a 8" section of fuel line.i can wire a longer harness to reach the oem plug.just wondering if it makes a differance with this pump(DDRP04 fass pump)if it needs to be up at the eng or can be at the tank.
