    I'm looking to move my fuel tank to the back of the truck. I don't know if the stock pump has a enough vacuum to get the fuel to the pump. I'm looking at a top mount fuel outlet. Do I need to add a electric fuel pump to help it?

    Stock will work fine. An electric booster pump will help if it sits for a while, but stock will work fine.

    Electric Fuel Pump WARNING !!!!!

    It is VERY important that you use a 4 # MAXIMUM pump ! .

    It's usually sold out and they'll try to sell the the 4 ~ 7 # instead saying it's the same , it isn't .

    You always want the E - Pump as close to the fuel tank as possible .
