TOE THE LINE! - Fuel Supply & Return System - SQUAREBODY 6.0 LS SWAP - UTX

- čas přidán 2. 06. 2023
- Today at Ugly Truck, we're wearing all our "flare" and plumbing the fuel system on the 86 C10 6.0 swap. This truck has factory dual fuel tanks, but push lock fittings and pinch clamps make this a pretty quick install. We have a Holley Sniper fuel pump in each tank, running through a Wix 33579 and a Fuel Lab regulator. On the return side, we use a Standard FV1T switch valve, which will default the return fuel to the left tank. We'll tie the solenoid on the switch valve to the relay for the right side pump, switching the return fuel to the right tank when the right pump in on. Stay tuned for a video on the EVAP system, coming soon! If you have EVAP questions, be sure to let us know!

Another great, informative, video as usual. Even complete with Office Space references. :D
Thanks PJ! Glad someone gets our references! Gotta make fuel lines fun somehow! 😆😆 Thanks for tuning in! --Emily
Thanks for the video. I always learn something new from you guys.
Thanks Jason! We appreciate you watching!
Great video, I always pick up tips and tricks. I love doing swaps and I hard line everything (hate seeing FI hose running like drapes under a vehicle) but that tip using the flare tool is fantastic, it will save a ton of cash. I use -6an nuts and seats with a single flare mostly with barb fittings for vibration and movement isolation with FI hose, not anymore. Just need that crimp tool. Thanks.
Thanks Ken. Here is a link to the crimp tool I bought. It has been good so far. We appreciate you watching! a.co/d/2bKs0pv
You said “Greek models”, I heard “Jerry is putting out a photo calendar featuring him bending a different hardline every month!” Can’t wait! Also, I think a few of us out here in CZcams viewer land are yelling at their screens “He didn’t flare the hardline at the trans going up to fuel rail! HEY!!”. Hardline flaring is tedious, but it’s cleaner how y’all do it. I bought a MasterCool hydraulic flaring tool for doing brake hard lines, fuel hardlines, metric bubble flares, and it does the GM transmission cooler lines too! Picked up a 37° AN flare set for it too. It’s amazing, and easy for cardiac disabled(weak) people like me to use. Great stuff guys! See ya next video…
Thanks Jon. I just recently bought that same tool and love it. I am going to replace the lines going up to the intake on this one so I didn't bother doing a flare. I am going to get some experience with the new flare tool before we start using them in a video. I do love having the ability to make these fittings. I will have to get the AN set next.. Appreciate it. Jerry
great video again guys, you have great tips and explain the details. I have to laugh about the flaring tool from the 90's the one I use is from the early 70's! The tool was my fathers, and made in the USA, most likely the one you have was to. have a great day
Thanks Brian. Yep, this one is a Blue Point and says made in USA right on it. It has never let me down. We appreciate you tuning in. Jerry and Emily
To think I was going to attempt this myself. Probably would have taken me a long time! Lines look great!
Thanks Brian. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily
appreciate showing step by step!!!
Thanks Chickenslaw! We appreciate you tuning in! --Emily and Jerry
nice clean job!
Thanks Timothy! We appreciate you tuning in! --Emily and Jerry
Nice work ya'll. Jerry, thats a nice bench you have there. 😮 😂
Thanks Randy. When you find a good bench that you can work with, you have to keep with it. 😁😁
Clean install!
Question are you using Gates “barricade” fuel injection hose?
Thanks DE! Yep, we used Gates Barricade fuel injection hose. Thanks for tuning in! --Emily
Awesome U 2 👊🏽
Thanks Ottis! We appreciate you tuning in!
Informative
Thanks Anthony! 👋
Maybe I missed a step, but what keeps the fuel from the pump that’s running from going out the other side of the Y into the other tank? Is there a check valve that I missed?
Hey Randy. The pumps have a check valve in them that keep the flow in one direction. On this truck being a short bed I am trying to just use the pumps as the check valve and see how it goes. If it ends up having a long crank time after sitting for a bit I left enough line to add a check valve. I don't think it will be a problem though. Thanks. Jerry
Thanks for the content! I also watched the other video where you built a similar fuel system. I’m going to do this with my truck as well. Can you tell me why you cannot use the old rocker switch?
The rocker switch is not a On and Off switch. I just need to turn that return valve on, so by turning the switch to It's on position It sends power to the relay turning the right side pump and also the solenoid to feed return fuel to that side. I will make sure to talk about it a little better in the up and coming video's. Thank Joey. We appreciate you watching.
Very knowledgeable. Two questions, how do you keep fuel from bypassing to the other tank through the Y fitting? Is the bleed back valve in the other pump strong enough to prevent this?
Thanks Dozer. Yes, the pumps have a check valve in them that keep the flow in one direction. On this truck being a short bed I am trying to just use the pumps as the check valve and see how it goes. If it ends up having a long crank time after sitting for a bit I left enough line to add a check valve. I don't think it will be a problem though. Thanks. Jerry and Emily
good afternoon 😊

Thank you very much
If you had a return style intake could you use the Gates 27315 Barricade Carburetion Fuel Line for return only ?
Yes. You could do that. In the event that something happened between your regulator and the fuel tank that would restrict that line it would be forced to try to handle that pressure though. I did that on our 74 to save some money, but when I am building it for somebody else, I just use high pressure fuel line. Thanks. Jerry
Good point! Thanks so much Jerry @@UglyTruckExperience
I am running a very similar set up, and i have the regulator set to about 58psi which it holds well. However, when i looked at the terminator screen the fuel sensor showed 38ish psi at idle. I have the sensor installed on the fitting that connects to the fuel rail. It runs ok but i am worried i dont have proper 58psi at the rails. what could cause this? lines are all new and im sure theres no clogs.
Hi Dery. I would start by putting a different fuel pressure gauge on the fitting at the rail and see what it reads. Some of those regulators with the gauge built in are not very accurate, and you'll definitely need to bump it up if it really is only 38 at the rail. Let us know what you find out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Jerry and Emily
Wouldnt fuel from the pump just bypass the regulator when using a tee that way? I thought the regulator had a inlet from the pump then a feed port to the rail and a return port back to the tank. Or maybe im missing something.
Thanks Vigo. The fuel pressure regulator just bleeds off the excess pressure and sends it back through the return line. Both fittings on the regulator are inlets and the other fitting is return. I know it doesn't look like it would work but it does. You would think that it has a Inlet, fuel return and then an outlet but it doesn't. Any line connected to it's inlets will have regulated pressure. Thank You for watching and commenting. Jerry
What is the part number for the pushlock Y?
Fleece Performance Y-Barbed Fittings FPE-FIT-Y06-BLK
HAHAHA OFFICE SPACE references FTW! Do you specifically get PTFE fuel line? I can buy "Fuel Injection Hose" locally, but to get PTFE line, I have to special order it. Thanks in advance!
We don't do jobs that are E85 capable, so it is probably a little overkill. If I was doing a flex fuel system or something around high temps, I would absolutely make it PTFE. I appreciate you getting the Office Space reference. Are you working on a swap? Jerry

BTW.. 'okay' was used 115 times in this video. That said, no letters were harmed in the process of recording this video.
👏👏😁 I always wondered if anyone kept track of the okay's... I would have guessed more than that!! 🤣🤣 Great work, as always, Ray Bann!
@@UglyTruckExperience Okay!
You gotta stop taking off… we need to finish this Truck.. I Subscribed’ settting on my Comfy couch watching you get this done.. thankyou.😄
🤣🤣 Gotta crack that whip! Thanks for watching and subscribing, Bernando!
@@UglyTruckExperience 🤣😂🤣
Will I need the selector valve if I have a single tank? Can I just run return straight from the regulator back to the tank?
Correct, the selector valve is just for the dual tanks. And yes, you would just run a line from the regulator to the return port on the sending unit. Thanks for watching! --Emily and Jerry
@Ugly Truck Experience Got it, thanks. Wondering if you'd recommend any regulator that is more budget friendly?
I am a huge penny pincher and these regulators are the cheapest I have been able to find. I do go with the Holley most times but they are both priced the same. If I run across something I will definitely let you know. Thanks. Jerry
@Ugly Truck Experience I've been watching your videos for a few days. You're doing everything in doing with my truck. Thanks a lot for the videos and for picking out the best parts.
Thanks for watching and let us know how it is going. We do appreciate it. Jerry and Emily
Can you post the link to the solenoid please.
Sure! It's a Standard FV1T. a.co/d/a1FqOIW Thanks for tuning in!
So should I just order premade lines from an 87 to skip all the bending and flares?
You would still end up having to bend the lines and make new fittings, at the engine side, so I'm not sure how well that would work out. If it's something you try, let us know how it goes. Thanks Jay. Jerry and Emily
@@UglyTruckExperience ok, I was thinking of the Dorman flex stainless lines ex: Dorman 819-840 and order whichever fittings necessary to fit regulator and valves. Now with the selector valve that you use does it only need power and ground where as the pollack has the plug/connector from the switch. Thanks
Correct, that valve just gets 12v to the terminal and grounds through the body. I'll wire it in to get power when the right hand pump is on, so that it returns the fuel to the right hand tank. Thanks, Jerry and Emily
Hey do you have the link for the push lock y block?

Thank you very much appreciate all that information. One more question approximately how much 3/8 and 5/16 fuel hose do I need to buy ? And can I get part number of the tool you use to make the push on connections on steel tubing thank you.
I buy 6 feet of both for most jobs. This is a a link to that tool. It is working pretty nicely. www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z268DTM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
so how do you run pump n fuel gauge selector switch n relay? return selector wire? use ecu I'm guessing? Q how low must fuel be to cause sparatic fuel pressure in highway speed curve? I'm just thinking necessary value of baffled tanks...curve might last 10sec. at most, less than 2gals in tank any speeds lower less fuel starvation not as prominent in straight road conditions. 1/4 reserves in each wud prevent ....bonus having dual tanks n running one empty before switching tanks as common practice ? burning up fuel pumps running dry....thots?
Hi Jon! On this truck, we used an 87 tank which has a baffle in it. The pumps only run one at a time, when the selector switch is switched to that side. Check out this video, where we talk about the wiring more in depth! czcams.com/video/Ed-4UaaArE0/video.html
What flare tool did you get?
Here's a link! We've been pretty happy with it so far! www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z268DTM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Thanks for watching!
most Chevy Fuel pumps have a built in check valve to keep pressure from bleeding off
They do... That is what we are relying on for this system. If it has a long crank time after sitting I will add some one way valves...Thanks Toby..
