Fuel system setup

I tried to post this additional comment, but time to edit had expired.

OEM "socks" are washable remember Mom always said "wear clean socks", but with the vintage of these trucks you may want to have a new OEM style in hand, just in case the mesh of screen is no longer pliable or already broken.

The sock has some trash on it but I didn't take time to get a picture. Based on what I've seen on it, though and how much I love removing fuel tanks, I'm thinking seriously about going with a 100 micron inline screen like what I posted earlier in this thread. If the factory sock is 70, then my only concern is wondering if 100 is too fine in order to pull the fuel through it. I suspect that a clean 100 might flow better and be safer than a dirty 70 that can bypass and suck whatever gets into it.

For other readers Snow & I chatted on the phone earlier today I have been on storm disaster recovery mission work again since last Sunday, he was a little mixed up in his understanding of filtration the smaller the # the more finer the filtration, I still run the 70 micron "sock" on mine, into a Racor 30 micron water/trash separator just prior to the lift pumps, https://www.jmesales.com/racor-400-series-diesel-spin-on-fuel-filter-45-gph-30-0-17-psi-r45p/ because I have dual lifts 28gph (AC/Delco) and a 45 gph Walbro I run the 60gph variant, into the 6 micron OEM FFM that came with the truck modded with FTB ,before sending to the IP.

Ryan shop around for better price than in the posted link, TEMU (China) sells a knock off for 1/4 the price, but their filter and the bottom bowl are known to leak, the head is same thread as Racors, . you could save some coin running the China head, and Wix filter and Racor base for bottom of the filter.

We wound up having to swap a tire on our equipment trailer after I talked to you, I'll grab a photo ofmy setup tomorrow, I'm about "whipped" running a chainsaw for nearly 7 days straight, has about done me in, I'm headed for the "rain-locker" and probably fall asleep 9in my recliner shortly after getting into it. 🤫
