So if you currently have a 255 inline, put one in the intank also.. Or keep the stock intank and put the bosch in place of the 255. Or cut your bucket up and put the bosch in the tank.. Here is a lil write up I did on my big bosch intank..

Thanks for the info... If I am out of fuel, I will first try the 044 in line. If I am out of fuel, I will add a 255 in the tank.

You guys upgrading the factory wireing? I added a hot wire kit made for an F-body, it takes a couple of wire splices at the tank because the plugs are different, but the kit worked great and really steps up the wire gauge. May not be necessary, but I'm all about overkill.

What gauge wire did you use?
