So here was tonight's fun.
Got all the fuel system stuff I needed except for the -10 to -8 y-fitting to split the supply line off to the CP3's.
Then I ran into something I didn't notice until today....
The pickup tube from the tank has a a different size fitting than the inlet to the FASS and won't fit a -10 line.
I found an adapter that would work, but it definitely wouldn't have been ideal and would have made running the -10 kind of pointless.
So, after confering with my man Tom, we came up with a solution.....time to sump the tank and put a 1/2 NPT fitting on it to feed that -10 line to the FASS.
Here's what used to feed 740+ HP.....
Here's what'll be feeding the beast now.....
Why buy it when you can make it.
These are the two sides of the bulkhead that will sandwich the tank.
One will be getting cut out to serve as the bowl and the other will get tapped for 1/2 NPT. The 6 holes will be getting tapped on one of the flanges for 3/8 cap head bolts. Add in a gasket and she'll be golden.

must be nice man. i wish, if i had that much knowledge, id be golden, but theres noone around here to teach. oh. and i rode in a 05 duramax the other day. the guy claimed to have 742 hp. : / i doubt it big time. it was nice but not really even put u in the back of ur seat. i was very dissappointed. nothing like i expected, i hope that wasnt 700+ hp. cause if it was then i dnt want it. he kept making the excuse that he was running biodiesel instead of regular and regular makes the truck run wayyy faster. and he was telling me that cummins doesnt like running on biodiesel.

Pics, vids, timeslips or dyno sheets.....otherwise, it didn't happen.
If it didn't set you back in the seat, it wasn't a 700 HP truck......or even a 500 HP truck.
At 700+ HP, I'm fighting the truck halfway down an 1/8th mile track. Launch at more that 17 lbs of boost and all 4 tires come violently unglued.
As for the bio.....the Cummins is rated for low concentrations of bio. i know it's rated for B5, I want to say they recently rated it for B20, but not full bio.
