LS Swap fuel question

[HotRodPC]

Also, my fuel rail on the 5.3 has a return on it, if I how with the dual tanks, would that be run to the selector valve, or to the tank/s?

Yes, the fuel selector valve has provisions for returns, That's why there is humpteen million hoses going to and from it.

Hi guys,
This is my first post, so I hope it's in the proper place. I'm swapping an LS motor into an 83 k10. I have the dual saddle tank setup, which I'd mike to keep. I also have an inline wahlbro pump from a previous project. Question is: can I use the inline pump after the tank selector valve, and use what I have, or do I have to replace the whole system? Thanks for any input

If you are going with the 87 dual tanks and drop in pumps, I have a complete LS swap dual tank kit w/65 psi rated selector valve available. Its designed as a stand alone harness for both tanks-the dash switch LH/RH triggers the appropriate fuel pump and switches the fuel sender lead automatically. Your LS swap control harness should have a white/blk stripe fuel pump trigger wire-this is used to trigger my stand alone LS dual tank harness. PM for more details if youd like-theres nothing wrong with the factory dual tank design-relying on 30+ year old wiring and components is when you have problems.

I really need to get with the program and order this from you. I'm still rocking the original stuff. It's working, but I built the truck to be reliable long term, and that's the one thing still gnawing at me about the swap.

Update: I ordered 87 tanks, 87 sending units, Pollack selector valve, 87 selector switch for dash, intank late model pumps, braided nylon fuel line and Russel fittings from Summit. Also got some submersible injection hose for in tank connections, and a late model inline fuel filter. Question now, is can I use the braided line from the selector valve to the sending units? If so, how do I make the connections? Also, do I run the pump relay wire to the dash switch, or to the selector valve? Thanks beforehand

Read Scotty Baccus doc on dual tanks. Great doc
