Deuce fuel tank on Cummins PT

[Floridianson]

Was thinking about useing a Deuce fuel tank on a bobber project. Do you think that maybe the decreased outlet size on the deuce tank fitting or the use of the intank pump with the Deuce tank would hurt or cause problems with the Cummins PT.

The deuce uses a 1/2" line out of the tank, how much bigger is the line on your truck now, I couldn't imagine it to be very much larger than that.....also I know the IP in the deuce will pull fuel just fine if the in tank isn't working, so it is more of a lift pump to help out, it doesn't push but a couple of psi......again, not sure what the specs are on the in tank pump you have now....

Maybe I was not clear. Will the 4 to 7 lb's of fuel pressure affect the Cimmins PT in any harmfull way.

If the switch is left on, it will pump fuel though the ip, if the ip is shut down, the pump will be pressured and possible to pump fuel into the crankcase,

ASK WM about a draw feed that turned into a syphon because of the placement of the solvent barrel, it bought his 816 engine. the slight positive pressure of the syphon pressured the the shutdown ip and inturn the solvent ended up in the crankcase.

I was planning on having it wired to the master but without a hidden battery cut offf then guess someone could turn it on playing around. Guess my concern is any seals in the PT that might be affected that are before the fuel pump in the PT.
