Draw Straw is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Showed up in the mail Friday!

Once again fast 110% customer service from Eric.

IT'S IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got it installed on Sunday, oh and thanks for all the pointers.................you know who you are.

Took more than my own sweet time, not an easy job but it is done. I would recommend a 2nd set of hands.

Must have got the straw cut the right length , with about 3 gallons of fuel in the tank I bumped the starter to prime and then fired it up. No problem.

Great components, awesome customer service.

O and I gained 1lb. of fuel pressure at idle.

Before 13lbs. at idle and 9-10 at WOT.

Now 14 lbs. at idle and 11lbs. at WOT.

How do you figure out the right length? obviously measuring it, but is the draw straw straight? anything to keep it on the bottom?

The draw straw is 1/2 inch plastic brake line (it has a little curve to it because it comes off a roll).

On the fuel module you drill out the return hole in the bottom for the hose to go through, mine protruded about 1 inch below the bottom of the module and I drilled the hole small enough to be a tight fit to keep it straight.

The tension from the hole size keeps it straight and close to the bottom.

Did you take the bed off or how did you get in there, drop the tank?

I had my head up in there looking at the top of the tank acouple days ago.

I have a 5er hitch and happyjack camper tie downs and a tool box too unbolt before I can even think of taking the bed off.

I dropped the tank, easiest way I could see to do it myself.

I only had about 3-4 gallons in my tank when I dropped it, I have a quad jack and that helped a lot. If you can get another set of hands it would help also.

Dropping the tank was about a 15 min. ordeal for me by myself.

I did mine with the bed off since it was already off fixing up the fass system. This is a really nice piece and at a good price! It eliminates those crappy elbows that rust out. Customer service was great as well! I'd say if you are taking the bed off for any reason this should be a mod no matter what

Oh dropping the tank on a SB requires the removal of a crossmember. Kinda a pita.
