modified fuel canister

does anyone make a ready to drop in modified fuel canister that replaces the cheap plastic fuel connections with something better? I would realy like something with threded supply and return lines. I seem to have to drop the tank once a year for some reason or anouther and hate how the foul lines connect to the module (pain in the but). Maybe a larger supply line eliminate fuel restriction. I know there are drwy straw kits but would realy like something that is drop in ready and all I would have to do is modify the fuel supply and return lines to fit the new canister.

Thanks

Try putting a wanted ad in the classifieds.

You hook your Fass to the stock canister?

Have you thought of using a Hellman sump?

Airdog II comes with a new, modified fuel module. I think I'm going to go with that setup.

My 06 was 3/8".
Any place that sells them should be able to tell you what size for your year.

You might try checking with Vulcan Performance
http://www.vulcanperformance.com/Dra...w-p/jlfmds.htm

They have a drop in modified unit. If it is not what you are looking for you might give them a call they also have the various parts to modify your own if I recall.

Also I think the return line dorman fitting is 5/16 on the stock module. The supply line on mine was 3/8.

Well at least on my 01 the return was 5/16 sounds like it may be different on the later years
