I've been thinking about installing a lift pump lately, but I'm unsure of what PSI pump to look for and what ones are "Diesel safe". Alot of them say good for Alcohol. Should I run a by-pass or check valve and regulator or not? I'd like some thing that is not loud and I can run all the time. Help with wiring to a good "run" position terminal would be great too! I'm pretty good with wires and the plumbing should be pretty easy as I have already in stalled a Pre-OEM Cat filter. Welding up brackets is no problem so they don't need to come with the pump. I've read posts on pumps only lasting six months and I'd like to get a little more than that out of one if I'm going to spend a couple hundred bucks. TIA!

running dual FM 100's......diesel compatible as its what they are made for, have the ability to run a heater to if you want that. They have built in filtration......I suppose if you dont want to ditch your cat that would be over kill and possibly not needed. No bypass or anying.
