I have a draw straw arriving fri. Is there any tips or trick I should know about install? Just trying to prepare for the job before it arrives.

 

lol yeah , make sure you dont mount it on the highest part of the tank and have the bed hit on it , then youll need to get a rubber expantion plug to plug your old hole . dont ask , as long as you use common sence it a peice of cake

 

mine came with direction's,which gave you a location.might want to have a hole saw handy

 

Well, im sure it will have directions-just remember some posts awhile back about messing it up somehow. The one I'm getting replaces the original supply and return lines, useing the original sender

 

the one i got required the tank to be drilled.my truck had the dreaded in-tank pump retro-fit garbage.
i thought the hardest thing was dealing with the tank itself.fuel sloshing back and forth in the big long tank made it interesting.i did tackle it myself,an extra set of hands might be nice.

 

I used a coffe can lid to catch the plastic 'fillings' from getting into the fuel. To check for clearance just place a board across the frame rails where your bed sets. All in all it is pretty easy. I used a hole saw to cut it. The only other thing is to make sure you get your straw as close to the bottom as possible, mine is about 3/16th's off the bottom of the tank. I didn't use a kit, but it is all pretty much the same. There are pictures of what I did here
