I think the limiting factor would still be the ID of the pumps. You can only get just so much liquid through a 3/8 hole.
Thanks guys, I have a couple good pumps. When you bob a Deuce using a M105 bed, you gotta pull the tank to get at the pumps. There are other external pumps out there...
Well ... I guess I didn't.
I did some searching and found a number of guys gave this one (or similar) a thumbs up: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sgt-sp1174
So I bought two of them, one for each tank.
Everything seems to be OK when running on flat land, but up here in the hills of Georgia...
A bit more than an inch. When I made that rig up, I got in the "zone" and was doing a bunch of stuff at once ... I honestly don't think I even noticed what size they were. It's a hunk of old black pipe, I just cut it up on the lathe.
I took the low road. I thought they might be a little...
I did mine just a little differently.
There was plenty of room in the spot I mounted the filter unit, so I linked the two filter bases with a 4" nipple. I also thought a bleed valve was a good idea. I kinda ran out of money, so I leave out the pressure gauges until I build up reserves of cash...
To do this project, I have used
One - Wix 24309 filter base for the first water separator/fuelfilter
Two - Wix 24770 or Carquest 89770 filter bases for the last two filters
I used the following filters:
Primary Fuel Filter SPIN-ON water separator. Carquest...
I'm not quite sure this information is correct.
I have checked the Wix data and see that:
You show Wix 33339 as the primary filter. This one is 32 microns. http://www.fleetfilter.com/filter/wix-filter-bases/33339.html
You show Wix 33352 as the secondary filter. This one is 6 microns...
I'm finally getting started on this project. Just curious ... are you running WMO for fuel? What pressures are you seeing: 1) at the tank, before the first filter and 2) after the first filter before the final filters?
Have you ever seen any build up of pressures indicating a plugged filter...
Great job ... and a great thread.
This should be a sticky.
Thank you very much.

BTW ... I'm thinking about doing this job with electrical sending units, a multi-switch and one gauge on the dash. Simple ... and I could keep an eye on pressures while on the road. Real important to somebody...
I saw that you installed a pressure gauge by the tank. Are you planning to install others? If space is a problem, you could use one gauge and a couple 3 way valves to select at what point in the system you want to check the pressure.
