Thinking About A Big Line Kit - Anyone Have Instructions?
Im trying to make it as easy as I can on my VP44 so maybe it will last.
What is involve with installing a big line kit? Which kit should I get?

Geno's has a big line kit. It includes the brass fittings which replace the five banjo bolts (which are restrictive). The hose, I think is 1/2" and fits on the fittings as you need them--you cut to length, lubricate and press on. Mount the pump back in front of your fuel tank. I installed a ball valve so I could shut off the fuel supply to change out the pump without a diesel bath. If you take your time, have a little mechanical ability figure 3-4 hours---or all day if you don't!! It's not a diffiult project. Cost including valve maybe $130
the big line kit will not help your vp electronics, which is a good percentage of vp failures but it sure won't hurt the internals

When you disconnect the fuel line coming from the tank, blow some low pressure air (35 psi or there abouts) into the fuel line going to the tank to clear the fuel from the fuel line. This will prevent you from taking a bath in diesel fuel and you won't have to crimp the line or stop it up by some other means.
I put the short hose on the pump first before I cut the line. Then as soon as it separated, I jammed it on. Lost about 3 ounces. Most of that was what drained out of the line up to the filter. I caught that with an oil drain pan. If you're ready and quick, you get no diesel bath.

Who needs instructions.
seriously though if you let the tank get down to about a 1/4th it doesn't come out at least not on mine.
