Will it draw through the pumps? Or do you have to remove them and use a draw tube of some kind? I wasn't sure about that and couldn't figure out a simple way of still using both tanks with the lift pump were two of the reasons I used the intank pumps with a regulator.

Do you get any fuel starvation issues when fuel tank is low do to fuel sloshing around? usually on big trucks they have a solid pick up tube and return in the tanks, just curious how rubber line works, but i guess it works good from what you've said 94cummins12v.

92cumminsf250, thanks i appreciate you're time, id be great to see the pic. I made some progress on mine today, hopefully it will run under its own power tomorrow.

So does it draw from both tanks at the same time all the time then? Must work good but I would still be nervous about not having hard lines .

C16_power> Here is that pic for you. Nothin' special, just booger welded a washer to the A518 shift lever that matched the bolt I got to fit through the stock Ford shift cable. It's on the brink of not getting first gear, but works perfectly on all the others. Still lines up on the indicator and everything.

And now that I think about it, I also had to cut and weld the Ford and Dodge brackets together that have the clip that holds the end of the cable sleeve. I know these are not the best pics, but it was the best I could do with a flashlight.
