1972 C10 Boyd’s Fuel Tank Install

Here is the breakdown of the install of the rear mount Boyd’s fuel tank and GM high pressure fuel pump in the C10.

I got a similar aluminum 22 gal tank for mine from CPP... it was pricey for a fuel tank too, but it was just over $400... gonna go with an external pump that I can mount on a bracket on the frame rail, so if it needs to be replaced, I don't have to drop the tank to do it...🖖🏿😎👍🏿

Try to include a vapor canister telling your PCM programmer to disable EVAP test, but keep purge. Include a roll over valve in a hose run up high inside the fender to attach to the filler neck. That tank is what I would purchase, if me wallet said yes. The 98 & new GM trucks use the same P/N for almost all and a salvage yard find it perfect. Just save all of the pinch connectors and a length of hose that goes with them. Each port is labeled from that factory and a home made bracket is easy to make to fit real estate near the back. The extra line required for purge is required but it burns raw fumes you paid for. Where it says tank valve, either glue seat foam on it or attach a small engine paper fuel filter in line. Once warm, the engine pulls outside air in to empty the canister of raw hydrocarbons. Just harvest one and shake to make sure no black pellets fall out which very rare. Look real good!

Hi Curt, really enjoy your content. Question for you, were you able to get this done with the bed on the truck? I’m in a position where I need to swap out my tank and was hoping not to have to have to take my bed off.

What about thw filler neck? Where does it come out of

[gerardohernandezjr]

What’s size is the filler neck 1.5 or 2 inches?

[savageblades]

Thx. I agree about those handy automatic punches, also was wondering about plumbing this tank because there are a few videos but none all inclusive that I've found... for instance which brand of durable in line filter performs well, part numbers for all the lines and fittings, complete explanation of wiring, etc

[danielviorato]

Good video my friend! Can you share the part number for the fuel pump please
thank you!

[kellygrubaugh]

How did you secure the plate with three tapped holes to the frame rail? Are the two extra holes in the plate intended for welding to the frame - like spot welds? Easier if the bed is not installed yet.

[laredoTC]

Nice work we’re did you purchase this Fuel Tank Thanks appreciate

[IrocDennis]

How did you wiring up the pump ? some guy told me that i need a fuel system control module with this pump... thats again a lot of money to run some fuel to the engine.

[savageblades]

Thankyou for the detailed build information.
Is this the pump I would run with an L83 or is it the stealth 340?
-Make sure your door is closed when removing nozzle from in cab tank filler so you don't slosh gas all over your bench, lol.

[backyardbowties]

What did you use/how did you wire the pig tail on top of the fuel module? How did you tie it in with your standalone harness

[marcosvelazquez]

Hi buddy, question what is the difference having the flange and to be flat?
on the fuel tank for the fuel pump

[savageblades]

Why not just bolts on top of framerail instead of a mounting bracket and save $50?
