with it in the bed did you have to extend any wireing or fuel lines? mine drags like crazy and if i dont do something soon im gonna drag through it

I built a fuel cell out of 16ga and used the stock sending unit. Total cell cost me less than $75. Coated the inside with Por-15. Never had any problems at all out of it. All the stock gauge and console info worked great.



Here's a reason why you shouldn't drag your gas tank. I would rather it look bad in the bed that this to happen.

You have to extend 4 wires and the lines. Go to autozone and ask for 5/16 fuel injected fuel line. Don't get regular line and can't hold up to the pressure. Get about 5 feet just to be safe. It will slide over the stock fuel lines and then clamp snug. Don't clamp to much or it will leak. Don't use barbs either, they will never seal up.

napa has fittings to slide right on to the factory sending unit & you can just replace the whole line instead of splicing in.
