I hope you realize how much you've helped so many people over the years. Awesome content brother.
Can we get the fuel pump info for the kemso pump thanks
The beat to hell and oversprayed garbage can lid. I too have done a lot of work on the poor man's workbench
I see ls swap companies trying to rip people off for alot of money for a 73-87 fuel injection tank. Dont fall for it. In 87 all the squarebody where fuel injected and lmc sells the 87 fuel injection tank 16 gallon (32-5937) for 99.95 and the 20 gallon (32-5932) for a 119.95
Easiest i found for the sending unit/pump is to use a pump for a 96-98 350 vortec. Has to be vortec. Both vortec 350 and 5.3 run at 52psi fuel pressure so pump works with it and i goes in the 87 sending unit with very VERY slight modifications. Overall savings about 300
Great video, thanks for the info. Much respect for backyard builders!
I like the sound effects.. Iit was like I was there..😁
Great informative video as always! Thanks.
I'm Hollywood bound 😂
appreciate the video and just want to share that my '74 dime with a stock tank with no baffle and a Spectra fuel pump which plugs right in to the sending unit (no soldering required - bonus) has been running great and I do take it up the mountains when we go camping about half a dozen times each year, buy yeah if I did not have a tank at all or it was rusted I would do what you recommend just for an extra piece of mind
Can you post the part number of the spectra pump that you used ? Thank you!
For the people that run 20gal tanks here's the part number for that 576-336
I always felt the simplest way to do a fuel delivery system was to take off the Hood and have a buddy lay on the roof of your car with a five-gallon gas tank drizzling gas into the carburetor.
However, that may not work on your fuel injected setup.
No, you gotta use a bug sprayer for EFI 😂
it would work actually, the engine doesnt care how it gets fuel. pour it right in the throttle body.
I've run out of a 20 oz bottle, just to test fire in a field lol
I had my wires in reverse… it will pump backwards… 😊
Thank you for the awesome help... For those of you looking to do this to their sending unit, I ordered two of the similar style fittings from Summit and it worked great. I used a pipe cutter and didn't have to clean up the sending unit line. The entire thing took about 10 minutes.
whats the name for that fitting to the sending unit?
Hey man would I need to buy 2 sending unit or jus one I have two gas tanks on my k20 3/4 ton I have a 6.0 installed already
One for every tank you want to use.
You'll need a selector valve that can handle high pressure also.
On one of my builds I used a walbro gsl392 its cheap and really really quiet..
And on my 71 olds I used the internal kenso fuel pump on the original tank I just cut the pick up tube and put the fuel with hoseclamps
Was going to buy a 31 gal efi blazer tank buy the stock sender and lines with fuel pump then buy a wabro 450 pump Appreciate your opinion.thks it a 5.3 motor 1965 f100 put tank behind diff
The K5 tank is nice for under bed setups
@@TheDrivewayEngineer read use a walbro 255 for stock 5.3
Fuel sending unit FG05M will it matter what side I have my tank mounted?
I don't think so, but just see if there's specific sides listed
yes make sure you get "M" not "N", M is for driver side tanks, N is for passenger side
Bro this exactly wtf I've been researching for
I didn't see the link to the fuel tank sump can you please add it, thanks.
It's there now
We still use a 1987 1 ton camper special at work (camper store) 1st year of efi, the truck is low miles and rust free. Plus it has the old man cap and dash cover.
That's awesome, I'd really like an 87 K30, but I've probably missed that boat.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer we have a fleet of old Chevys at work. Some will be for sale soon. I'll post them on the FB page when the time comes. Have a nice Suburban too.
would that fuel tank fit a 1984 chevy c10? thanks as i am helping my dad get his ls swap underway.
Yes it’s the same tank except the 87 tank is baffled.
Great Video. I haven't heard of the Kemso fuel pump before. What is its output? Is it as good as a Walbour?
Thanks
I have another video on it. It's 38 bucks and outputs 340 lph
@@TheDrivewayEngineer link to to pump please. And is it still holding up?
I have a 1977 with mechanical fuel pump, what kind of power do i need to run to pump? Just any 12v ignition wire?
You need a relay
The sound effect of an empty tank thank you 😜
How do you like that fuel pump does it perform well?
It's been working for years
People look dum recording and trying to show what you’re doing with one hand
Thanks for watching!
Get a tripod stand dude
Great info. Thanks!
So I have a 96 c2500 that had TBI. Drop the tank and installed evil energy fuel pump inline. Not sure that it will pull through the factory in-tank pump but we'll find out.
So you are using a tank from an 87 R10 #IGM1C or GM11C and using just the sender for that tank #FG05G and retrofitting a pump and hoses to the sender? Would I need all of those compression fittings if I’m running a carb and not EFI?
That's correct.
You can run your stock tank and sender if you're not running EFI
@@TheDrivewayEngineer Cool. Can I use a Carquest HS2521093 and drop it in the tank of my 74 K2500, Install a regulator to bring pressure down to 7 and it work? And use just regular hose clamps?
Pump part number?
Would this be the same for my 1974 k10 4x4 short bed? I want to drop an LS in it. My cousin will do my harness for $400 and my friend will flash my computer for $500 so I’m really looking forward to it
Yes this will work the same on your truck
The Driveway Engineer
Thanks bro
Looking good.
Thanks for links
Ik this is very late but lmc truck can help you get parts and thank you for showing and explaining!
Let’s say you wanted to turbo your LS in Daryl. What upgrades would you make to this setup to supply... say 700ish wheel horsepower? Is the possibility of dual pumps there?
I've had this engine turbo'd.
I had decapped flex injectors and a Walbro 450 in the tank. Only changes.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer where did you get the injectors recapped?
In my garage lol
I need two short bed tanks where do I buy the its a c20 was a long bed I shorten it 14 in motorcis lq9 t400 gearvender thks
Where did you end up buying your fuel tank
Amazon, the link is in the description
Thanks for all the great info love your videos you are helping me a lot I’m doing an 81longbed shortbed conversion , With a 5.3
Awesome!
Can the dual tanks be used with the ls swap?
Yes, but you'll want to upgrade your transfer valve to a Pollak or something else high pressure rated.
Where did you get the fuel sending from. I need one like that!!!
How did that kemso pump hold up?
Still in there pumping, like everything else, they're alot more expensive now
THIS CANT BE RIGHT can it ? in canada using amazon to source parts im up to $375 cdn/$300 usd for fuel system and i might still be short a male 6an fitting or 2 for fuel pump !
thats , pump, filter, 4 adapters, 16 ft 3/8 fuel feed line hose kit with fittings, 16 ft 3/8 return line.
my whole cutout motor only cost 445 cdn
unless you know a cheaper place? it doesnt seem like shitbox has all the parts nor are they cheaper plus i might get hit with import fees.
What fuel neck filler hose did you use on the new tank ?
Man your a life saver. And a wallet saver respect.
What is the number of the fuel pump
Is the kemso pump, you are using, the amazon $39 one. I just don't see too many reviews. I just want to make sure. Also the video is 2 years old, is Kemso still your go to?
Still that same pump in my truck today
These fg05m sending units are out of stock everywhere. Any comporable replacements that do not break the bank?
I've heard that, not surprising with all the shutdowns.
Any 87 R10 sender will work, try local parts stores, they may have one on the shelf or something.
Where did you purchase that sending unit with the pump ? Also does it need a baffle in tank or just stock truck fuel tank
Stock sending unit
Hey I have a question. I had to replace my fuel sending unit, the car was originally carb. On the bottom of the return line that gold piece as pictured had a cap around it. Do you know why it was there?
No, sorry.
You kind of answer your own question
I have a returnless style intake on an L33. Does that affect anything in the sending unit as far as capping off the return valve?
Nope
What # for the KEMSO fuel pump are you using?
They're all basically the same
Have same setup in a long bed 79c10 just got it running, and the vent valve isn’t working ( I took it too the gas station and it keeps shutting the pump off) did u have to do anything to your sending unit? I’m using the spectra fg05 one
Nope, just what you see herw
@@TheDrivewayEngineer hmmm wonder what’s going on then? Thank u for reply
Thanks for the tips!
This video helps so much
are you able to tell me where you found that fuel pump? because i cant find one, because either i cant do research, or im looking for the wrong fuel pump, i got the sending unit that you linked, i just for some reason cannot find a fuel pump. All i know is that i need about a 60psi intank fuel pump. please respond i have never done a ls swap before or basically anything with a ls engine before
Kemso 380lph pump, they're all over eBay
@@TheDrivewayEngineerThnk you!
Did you cap off the evap or did you just leave it alone?
I didn't do anything with the Evap on the sender
Was wondering how would I be able to use that sending unit with a 1981 c10 it had dual tanks and they had like a nipple with a plug and ground that’s all?
The switch won't handle the EFI pressure
@@TheDrivewayEngineer alright also the vent what is needed for it just a hose ? Is there a specific place to put the line from the vent?
Thanks for the video. I ended up getting similar fittings for $11 each and the same fuel pump on eBay. Did you have to trim the sending unit at the bottom of the pump to get the pump to fit into the unit?
No, I just stuck it all in there
Nice video
Do you remeber which one is power and which one is fuel level on the 2 wires coming out of the fuel pump. Besides the obvious ground wire 😳
No, I just hooked one up until the pump ran
old but it's the grey wire for the hot on the pump
You can buy fillerneck hose at NAPA....hope u get a good parts counterguy to look it up! Same with real fuelhose to connect pump out to pipe. There is a specific type og 3/8" hose just for pump intank!!
will a 87 tank work on a 82? looked up on google and really couldnt find the answer. thanks man! amazing video! i have a holly blue and its stupid loud!
Yes, I have one in my 79
@@TheDrivewayEngineer Awesome im about to order a new fuel tank and came across this video. Man youre a life saver! thank you for making amazing videos!
You running this through a c5 regulator?
Nope
thank you
I’ve been using these videos and they are excellent help. Question:
How do you set up a truck with dual tanks and the electric fuel pump(s) ? I’m putting a 4.8 and 4l60 in 75 k10
If you want to keep the tank selector, there's a guy out there who sells high pressure ones.
Thank you.

If you're still there I will in a hour
I'm still here!
What transmission are you running?
4l80e
Good info!!!! Thank you
What about your filler neck? It is not located in the same spot as the early 80’s tanks. If I’m correct they are also shaped differently so did they tank fit your factory strap location?
It's 100% in the same spot
The Driveway Engineer where did you purchase the tank?
The Driveway Engineer never mind I see the links you added. Thank you.
Bear in mind, my truck is a stepside, so your mileage may vary.
When you soldered the wires what heat shrink did you use . Is their a specific one for fuel. I don't want my gas explode
I just use the heat shrink with glue in it
@@TheDrivewayEngineer I just heat srinked it is it ok
It'll be fine, there's no air in there
@@TheDrivewayEngineer ok well when the sun sets ill install the tank
The amazon link you have for the fuel tank, is it the same one you have in this video? So I don't need to buy the sump you have listed?
Correct
@@TheDrivewayEngineer thanks!
