53 I wonder if some how we could hook the factory power wire up to a toogle switch to activate the factory system from inside the cab?
And also maybe tee the factory supply line into the AD supply line close to the CP3 somewhere, i have the GDP big line kit from the factory fuel filter canister to the CP3 and thought about puttin a 1/2" tee in the new AD supply line that has a 3/8" inlet and tying the GDP big line kit into that, that way if somethin would happen to the AD u could just flip a switch and have the factory as a backup system.
Or instead of 3/8" witch is what the GDP big line kit is, find a 1/2 fitting that would fit the bottom of the fuel canister and use 1/2" line to the tee.
Could something like this even work?

Great write up Mark. Sorry i missed you this last week. The kids and I were on a mission. Got thru your area too early (you still at work) and on the return trip, we were running about the time you get off work but did not want to call in fear of the wife wanting to kill a DTR member thinking you were at home! next time. Again, killer write up!

Then I also picked up a -8 AN cap to cap it off...sorry I could not find a pic for the cap but you get the idea...
I capped mine at the bottom of the stock filter..then I just took my stock CP3 feed line off...I plan to take most of the stock system out(except the engine return line of coarse)...I just need to order the filter eliminator kit from GDP or I may just make my own...

plus ditching the stock filter will clean the engine bay up a little and you gotta love that
I am setting up a back up plan with the 1/2" airdog lines so I can plumb a back up pump in...and I dont plan on using ANY factory lines for that(except I will keep the engine return line)

Should work??? but I dont know if it will or not?? would it cause a restriction with the filter in there=problems??? i'm confident in the airdogs filtering ability..so I am not too worried about it.

I think the main thing you need to worry about with the stock filter canister is the plastic lid
Which you could just get a billet cap from genos and not worry about it...
When I do my DIY walbro here pretty soon ill probably try to keep the stock filter canister too just for an added filter, wont hurt to have one more filter...
Great writeup Mark!

the thing I did not think about was if you plumb your engine return line into the stock filter..bad things could happen if the RV blows.....27,000+psi going through you stock filter will cause a really big boom!!!! I dont know if a billet cap could even handle that kinda PSI!!!
