67 is the sweet spot for these engines. i believe irate actually tells you that in the install book.
Sweet video. I plan to convert mine to electric fuel when I rebuild the engine. I do want two 38 gallon tanks though for long runs. Just haven't needed to do the rebuild yet still a daily at 405k miles
I installed the spectre 38 gallon tank on my 97 about 2 years ago and put the sump in the left front corner of the tank, that way it has a little bit of protection from the axle tube and isn't quite as low. I shortened the fill tube into the tank and made a fitting to replace the vent with a 5/8s line to the filler neck and a 2nd line to the new rollover valve and removed the tube in the middle of the filler neck. I think my initial fill was 40.1 gallons.
I did the pump and fuel bowl replacement the year before. I used mark fuggazotto's kit for the top of the motor and made my own fuel filters and pumpS kit. I used the fuel filter primary and secondary filter bases that fit a ddec silver 8v92, and 2 Bosch 044s with a 5 pin relay to switch between them. Mounted that all on a plate on the inside of the frame.
Other than the tank level the only thing that I use the factory sender for is to pump the front tank into the rear (tank selector is just to check levels, I sumped the front to a small auxiliary pump). I now have a minimum of 58 gallons available.
Did the 5/8 lines help you fill up faster?
@@skylarwagner1155 yes, that and eliminating the tube down middle of the fill neck. The primary thing is the vent line now comes up to the top side of the filler neck. I can use a large nozzle for a semi without having to hold it only on the first click but it is much better than it was. Depending on the pump I can sometimes use the 2nd notch but always the first. Which is always better than it was before. The vent line is a curved pipe brazed into the side of the fill neck about 2 inches down from the top. The roll over valve is fastened to the curve.
I might have to try that, I’m tired of taking 30 minutes to fill up my tank.
@@skylarwagner1155 yeah, I was tired of it too. I can fill at truck stations now without having to hold the nozzle and trickle it the whole time.
Thanks for the video, you helped me with priming the new pump
Skylar, didn’t your new 38 gallon fuel tank come with their new sending unit? Also did I see you have the B&W turn over ball fifth wheel hitch? Any problems removing the truck bed?
Mine did not come with a new sending unit. Yes I installed the B&W hitch for gooseneck trailers and I had no problem removing the bed.
Hey man I’m doing a build I’m stuck on the fuse tap part..for the trigger wire. on the paper I got with the kit said use 30a fuse?? I’m doing it pretty much the same way you are. but in my fuse box there was a 30a fuse in that spot? Soo what kind or fuse tap did you get??
It’s a double fuse tap. So the bottom fuse is the existing 30 and the top you put in the fuse for the pump. Does that answer your question?
@@skylarwagner1155 yeah it didn’t work… I’ll figured something else out tho. thank you for the response man. Haha been trying to get mine done for about half a year now.
Use the fuel bowl heater wire for the relay trigger wire
@@cbmech2563 wrinkly brain.
Skylar do you have a 2” receiver on the back of your truck. I’m interested in the 38 gallon tank and wondering if it will fit my 96 long bed crew cab with 2” receiver. I understand I will loose my spare tire.
With deleting your selector valve, did you have to do any wiring at the main plug for it to pick up the reading from the sending unit.
I ended up just keeping the switch and securing inside my dash.
What irate kit did you buy, did the sump come with the kit or no, do you need the sump if you have the regulated return, I’m trying to order this stuff but its confusing what all I need
I just bought the one that was recommended for my year and make truck. It comes with all the engine components, feed hose, pump, filters and wiring harness. The sump does not come with it and is not needed the irate system will work with factory sending unit.
Would this work for gassers (the sumps setup too)?
I believe the tank and sump would work for a gas truck. Take look at the link in the description, you could give the guys a call and they would let you know.
What size fuse did you use for your pump?
20amp
Thank you! Just got it running today!
Does the place you got the fuel tank have the larger sending unit for this tank or do you have to make one like you did
I have not found a bigger sending unit. You will have to just make one.
If you do some how find one please let me know!
Also did you have to remove your exhaust to mount the fuel tank?
Yes, I had to remove the exhaust and cut part of the pan to be able to fit it back.
An older bronco sending unit wouldn't work?
I could not find one that would fit. All the ones for a 38 gallon tank had too small of a plate to fit the opening of the tank.
Do you know the part number for the sending unit in the tank that you used for the correct fuel level?
Could you show us how you ran everything like where you ran your hoses through your engine
I ran the feed and return lines in the exact same place as the old ones. But ya I don’t mind making a video over that when I get a chance
@@skylarwagner1155 did you run the lines under the bracket ? And how’d you regulate it and set up the fuel pressure regulator I want to get this fuel system for my 95 7.3?
@@josealamo3007 the regulator all comes in a kit together, I’m not sure if you have seen the first video I made on the kit but I show how to put the regulator together in it. Yes I ran both hoses between the motor and the A/C bracket and I used the old plastic hose covering for the original return lines to cover the new lines to give an extra barrer from the engine heat.
@@skylarwagner1155 dude that would make my day. I’ve watch so many video and people skip so many good parts. On your video I honestly learned more. But I’m still confused. I got the sump and plan on removing the selector valve and get the 38 gallon tank. But I know the regulator fuellab return has a slimmer hose. And the t fitting is the feed from the pump. But do I need to use the factory hardlines ?
No I completely removed all my hard lines and ran new rubber ones. The kit comes with enough for the supply line, but you will have to go buy more for the return line just make sure it is rated for over 80psi. I only got 50psi and I would like to run my truck at 60psi.
Did you have the link for the 38 full tank man
The link is in the description.
Where did get the pump ? Or what’s the name of the pump
It is an irate fuel system. The original pump that came with it only lasted 4k miles so I upgraded it to a Bosch.
Quick question does your fuel pressure drop down on your gauge once you turn the truck off ?
Yes it goes to 0 if the pump isn’t running
@@skylarwagner1155 do you have to crank it over when you’re starting it back up ? I finished installing mine and when I go back to turn it on I have to crank it over a couple
Of times for it to start up you seem to know more than I that’s why I asked I’m planning on getting a bigger tank just like yours I really like how simple you have your set up
Ya it takes a few cycles more for mine to start now.
What vehicle was that sending unit meant for? Can you find that out?
I believe a 1992 Branco but I’m not %100 sure.
I install the same sending unit from my front tank but i put 17 gallons to my 38 gallon tank and is reading a full tank then i goes down to half a tank do i need to get a sending unit from a bronco since they come with a bigger tanker already or maybe just get a new sending unit ?
The rear gas tank doesn’t look like 38 gallons. Mom like 33..
