Got my fuel sump from Beans Diesel Performance. This is a no tank drop style sump.
Step 1: locate the lowest part of the fuel tank clean with brake kleen or any cleaning agent.
Step 2: Drain fuel tank. I pulled my recirculation line off my airdog and pump the fuel out into a suitable container.
Step 3: Position gasket on bottom of tank and mark inside diameter and studs holes with paint pen or marker.
Step 4: Drill the rear most stud hole first and have a drain ready because there will be more fuel that will drain out. I used a 9/32" drill bit for the holes. Once the rest of the fuel drains out, drill the remaining holes and check for hole alignment.
Step 5: The inside diameter of the gasket and sump is 2 3/4". I used a 2 1/2" hole saw and centered it inside of the inner mounting ring and cut the hole out. See above picture for mounting rings.
Step 6: Clean any flashing out of mounting stud holes and fuel sump hole in tank. Then, install mounting rings into tank.
Step 7: Clean any fuel off of sealing surface off tank. I used a fuel tolerable RTV sealant on the gasket. Apply a bead of RTV on the gasket and around mounting stud holes on both sides of gasket.
Step 8: Install sump onto tank, then nylon washers, and mounting stud nuts. Go around the sump and tighten mounting stud nuts. There isn't a torque spec so I just went snug and went around again until all felt tight. Smear any excess RTV around the edge of the sump.
Step 9: Install suction line onto fuel sump.
Step 10: Let RTV setup some before putting any fuel into tank. Once RTV sets up, put about 5 gallons or so back into tank and check for leaks.
