13 gallon sy conversion project

[cloneman315]

I am going to try and document this project,I am going to pull the stock 20 gallon out and swap in a 13 gallon tank. I am also going to make braided linesor parker push lock from the sender to the break out lines by the transfer case,I will list part numbers and pics etc as I get them,

This pic is the factory lines that go from the fittings by the transfer case to the fuel filter and tank.

The 13 gallon sender on the right and the 20 on the left.The lines seem to be the same.

The 13 gallon on the left is a bit shorter than the 20

The one on the left was from my sock for the 340 pump,the right is for a stocker type or 255

Re: 13 gallon sy conversion project

Would you happen to have another sock for the 340 pump? My old strainer is the same as your 340 piece and I am looking for a new sock with the same coupling and cant seem to find one.

I might be the only member here that would actually like a bigger tank. Great project by the way.

Re: 13 gallon sy conversion project

Brian, any updates? Got my fittings from anplumbing, Earl's online store, saved over $2. per fitting over Summit. Going the compression fitting route with 3/8" copper for lines(endorsed by Hood). Fittings rated for 100psi. I'm going to slide 3/8" id insulation over the lines to eliminate any vibrations. Even considering a full port ball valve to be able to shut off gas supply as a theft deterent...Jim
