DO NOT have it moved to the Tank! here is why. I used to tell customers to use the dealer as much as you can and get every last dollar out of them, but this is why it only hurts your truck.


The stock canister is a better design. It will flow more fuel than the in tank design and it has a better one-way-valve. If you go with the in tank, and then you put on an aftermarket pump, you will have issues below a 1/4 tank. You can always go with a new tube, but then you loose the one-way-valve and the reserve canister.

So, be very carefull when you decide what to do, especially if are planning to turn up your truck in the furure.

Its been two weeks so I would assume its either done or not... But I would do it. For stock power levels and mild mods it will be fine. Considering that on a dmax the CP3 acts as the LP any pressure to the CP3 is a good thing...

Its running no power misses and rapping. The code that came up was 06-25.When the truck first started doing this it would clear up after a min. or so of high idle now it won't clear up

Well in my opinion a Walbro pump is more reliable than a relocated pump inside the tank. If you have problems with a Walbro (ie. plugged filter, bad motor) all you have to do is swap it out, (10 minutes and $100), but if the in tank one goes guess what then, LOL. (3 hrs and $500)
