Thanks

Lol, for some reason I know exactly what you are talking about. The tool is definitely alot easier than poking 3 plastic tooth picks in there like I have "heard" of people doing

I've broken more things than I've assembled/put together so far!



OK so, I'm running out the door here but here's a small small tiny update...

I "gutted" the middle line (I think it used to be the EVAP) and am gonna use that as a vent.

Here's what's left of the check valve that is part of that line...



And the hole that it occupied...



I also drilled out the line/pipe to enlarge the inner diameter so that it would not be so small as to allow the tank to pressurize...





Now it's about 1/4" of so.

I also drilled a hole through the top of the bucket and installed a grommet...




ran the wires...



And haven't decided how I'm gonna seal it. I have plastic welder, JB weld and Gray RTV, I'll probably do a combination of them tomorrow.


Also re-wired the bucket so that the stock wiring works on one pump, the other one will be activated when I switch to Hi on the boost controller.



I hope I didn't mix up the plug wires!!



I'm gonna flush out the system tomorrow morning before doing final assembly. I also ran the power supply from the aft mounted battery all the way up into the engine bay. I ran it inside the frame rail inside some Irrigation tubing to protect it. I think it looks really well hidden and kinda stock. I'll take pictures of it tomorrow when I get some more time.

I was trying to think of another way to say it to be honest, but I figured why bother, it's in my blood!!

Thought about it...wouldn't fit, you have a newer style bucket. And I saved myself the $$ which right now is tight!! I don't know if I'll be able to afford to finish this project!! :nunchuk1:

use silicon to seal that, wouldnt plastic filler or any other kinda glue eat that housing and weaken it?

Why would plastic weld eat plastic? I think since it's not really under any pressure your right about using silicon though.
