New pickup in the tank. They told the pump is actually a Bosch pump. Everything is new and replaced the vent lines. It's a 71 and some strange looking thing by the filler tube in the trunk that the vent lines hook to. I agree the pumps are reliable. Not the best set up using the factory pickup for pump that pushes. I'm checking the pre filter first. Didn't get to it today. It does act just like a clogged filter the way it sat for few and then built pressure and got me home.

This has always been my philosophy. Not that the frame rail pump isn't a quality piece. I do fully believe though that a pusher pump, is not the best solution for an uphill, puller style (oem pickup) setup. I try to tell those who order from me that those are pusher pumps, and if you want to use one, I reccomend a sumped tank, or a fuel cell. Hence when the FCC starts making more sense.

The pusher pump on a puller setup will stir up some controversy though with people claiming it has worked for them for years, so I tried to save it for the conversation for my customers when ordering.opposed to a holy war on here.
