Anyone have any insight into the legality of gravity feed Aux tanks?I run one in Texas and have never had an issue but have been told if I go west I will more than likely have issues with te FederaliesAlso can anyone recommend a non gravity feed set up? Brand? est cost?
Line D, since you're gravity from one tank into the factory tank, that's not directly connecting to the carburetor or injectors. On my truck I chose not to do gravity solely because of the way the trucks computer deals with the fuel sending units. If my truck doesn't see the levels fluctuating, the gauge goes to E and a dash warning light comes on. I built my system from scratch, if you do a google search there are only a few companies that make a system, and they cost big bucks.

I've heard the gravity feed comment before as well, but here are the Federal DOT regs that say otherwise http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmc...
