do you know if they make a 0-30 phantom II gauge? I tried searching their site but it seems like they dont update it enough... other gauges are available in the phantom II series that dont appear there...

what kind of fuel pressures do you see? and is it spikey or consistant? (thinking regulator)

I get my readings right off the banjo on the Bosch pump and it is very stable. Its only spikes down when I floor it

Hey Bob, Big time Kudo's for your ingenuity in putting together a back up pump.

That's a mystery still with that crap being found. Could it perhaps be some paticles of your fuel filter, or fuel line breaking up? Hope that it's not due to some ***** screwin with you. Ya just might have to pull out the rodeo shot gun for some out of season service!

Is there a screen of any kind on the bottom of the pickup tube?
No, that is why I put an in-line filter between the pump and the in-take tube. I used an Earls 6AN in-line filter, Exactly like the one Triton is using.

The mystery continues. The tank was clean enough to eat out of it. There was nothing jammed in the filler tube either (like a fist full of leaves and twigs some a-hole put it there).

I guess the Walbro pump sucked all of the stuff out of the tank and into the filter. I flushed the lines, cleaned out the filter and will put everything back together.

You should be able to take that tank out in about 30 seconds flat by now. hehe

So....this little invention of yours, are you planning on selling it as a kit at all? Or selling the plans?

Ever since my lift pump went out, I'm paranoid that it will go out again and this sounds like the perfect option.

That's weird that nothing was in there. I wonder if at one time there was something stock to the bottom of the stocker, and then when you switched over to the Walbro the stocker dropped off whatever it was holding onto and the walbro picked it up?

Weird ....
