thanks lew... you actually read my question.
without going back to the october 6 page thread i have tried most every imaginable fix for this... at no apparent issue the truck will go from 8lbs to 2lbs and presents itself like vapor lock. i have rerouted all lines including a new line into tank, had tank off 3 times, 3 mechanical pumps including current holley hi volume with an inline carter booster pump. this issue has been going on for 5 years and ive reached a tipping point... its fixed or sold.

my conclusion was to make a fuel cell out of tank by adding an outlet in bottom of tank and plumb it like a race car with pump & regulator...

i was wondering what aftermarket fuel pump was suggested, of course need one that will see 10-15 hours of continous duty on long tows... flow not as important as durability. also wondered about yes no to go thru mechanical pump.

anyway i almost wished i left tank pump in and just stuck a regulator on it
