airdog 150 question

[yotehunter]

so I got a airdog 150 off a cracked block engine. My question is do I need to put a draw straw in my tank or can I use the stock suction line? also the bed will be off the truck as I"m repainting the frame so migth be a good time for tank upgrades? just not sure if the draw straw is the way to go. Thanks

I installed the AD165II with a kit for removing the in tank pump. The kit enlarged the oe fuel line for the 165. I do believe that it would be much better for the 150 to have a draw straw or anything that will give the pump the flow that it needs. The old lines are restrictive and will work the pump that much harder. I don't know what your pump is coming with, but the more you open it up in size from the tank to the vp the better off you will be.

dripleythanks. I'm going to put the draw straw in it should be easy with the bed off. My truck all ready has 1/2 lines just going 1/2 from the tank to pump to finish the job.

Most welcome sir. It is a shame to see folks install larger fuel lines, better pumps and still leave some restricted OE things left in place:cookoo:. It is just counter productive. Good luck with the new to you pump.
