Yeah, but by then its too late and you have lost prime on the system. Same as running out of fuel. Not good.

Heh, I guess I could... but no... the filtration unit is going to be in the fuel/battery box right behind the driver's side door. Wont be hard at all to reach over, open the doors and take a look.

Hmm, OK, that's an interesting setup, put 'em on both sides of the pump. So under your setup, I'd still use the pump you mentioned earlier? The Davco units look nice.
What do you think about putting a large, cheap filter in front of the Davco (screw in standard, maybe 30/50 micron) so that it catches all the big crap being the first filter in the line, thus reducing the need to replace the expensive, finer elements in the Davco. Do they make "normal" (aka cheap) filters that can go suction side? Like a Fram or some trash. You know, $10 throwaways.
Or are the elements in these not that expensive? I cannot seem to find any prices for them. I know the Racors, some of the elements were a couple of hundred bucks.

A good choice of element: http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/cg...mpaign=product
You could run any pump you wanted to.

The elements are $15 at truck parts shops, they are very common. I wouldn't put anything between the Davco and the tank.

One other thing I have been wondering is this: is there a way to inject additives (i.e. power service) directly into the fuel stream on the fly at a ratio that I can control and change on the fly? This would allow me to have a bulk tank of PS and a bulk tank of Lucas and whatever else, then inject it at a steady ration and be able to change the ratio based on conditions. I have heard of folks injecting water and all kinds of other stuff, any reason why these devices couldn't be used to inject supplements?
