Re: [DML] Trunk Weight Capacity and Fuel Tank

["Marv Hein" <marvhein@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, this worked fine for me when I swapped out my fuel baffle.  

John Hervey's site has a diagram for the RPM relay by-pass used to 
run the pump.  My hose was a little short so I had a helper to shut 
off the by-pass when my 5-gallon gas can filled up from the tank.

Poured the first can into my wife's Yukon and saved the second 
container to go back into the D so I could get it to a gas station 
when I was done.
