XDP Fuel Tank Sump - One Hole Design With Fuel Return XD243

Great product. Use them on both of my trucks. Works great/ no leaks

I was installing an Air Dog 2 4G165 on my 2008 LMM. Overall quality looked good. It comes barb fittings, gasket, back plate, sump, return pipe, and the screws/washers. The things you will need, PTFE (teflon) tape for putting the fittings in, 3" holesaw, 1/2" to 1 1/4" hose clamps. The instructions are general and semi vague due to it applying to multiple platforms, I get it. That said, I used a light to thoroughly inspect the parts and remove any remnants of machining. When you install this, drive until you have less than 5 gallons left. I found my position, and used my drill just to put the alignment hole in the tank, put my bucket under the hole, and let it drain overnight (I am not dependent on this as my sole or work vehicle). Next morning, I started by removing the drain bucket and putting a lid on it, then I resumed drilling the 3" hole in the center of the flat spot in the tank. Right into my OEM fuel pickup basket. So, I stopped, dropped the tank, looked at it for an hour thinking this will cost me another grand to fix this screw-up. Fortunately, found a seller on craigslist that was parting a truck out and spent the $200 for a tank and pickup. I cleaned the new tank and drilled the hole in the right place this time. Put it at the FORWARDMOST point of the flat area on the tank. If I could attach a picture, I would and show the difference. While I was not using the pickup since I added a lift pump, I still needed the gas gauge and the return straw was interfering with the float arm on the basket even after modifying it. This system does not have the quick disconnect fittings like the Beans does, nor does it include the plug for the supply line on the top of the tank. I had to order that separately from Summit Racing. That is why you need the hose clamps, as the supply and return hoses will not attach using the FASS or Air Dog QD fittings. If I had to do it over again, I would skip the Air Dog/Fass lift pump and just install a Fleece in-tank. I spent about the same anyway and now I need to install a power switch for the lift pump because when the ignition is on, the pump is on. In conclusion, it is an easy unit to install. It is actually good to drop the tank so you can clean it and your pickup anyway because they are going to be dirty, regardless. Try to find out where your pickup/fuel float sits before drilling, it can save you money. The sump is quality, but again, the instructions are semi-generic. Order #1352512

Pros: quality, you get what you pay for and this is machined very well. Cons: I wish there were instructions that came with it. It’s pretty self explanatory, just by looking at it you can tell how it works/is setup, but instructions on how exactly things go (maybe pictures) and if there is tape that needs to go over the ports when threaded in, it should come with tape. I got some permatex glue/sealant compatible with diesel fuels to permanently seal it up on the tank. If the kit costed $5.00-$10.00 more but had this included I would gladly pay more for it.
