Yep my daily reading was about how different obstacles get put in our way each day & it's best if we take it in stride, pretty cool you found a chain I guess it pays off in a couple ways to do a little bit of custom work. Wishing you a Happy New Year
@@johnnysechrist6313 doubt it I don't want to give up the truck bed area for a larger one, I didn't just do this without thinking it through, thanks for watching
Nathan, when the time comes to change out the transfer pump filter you may want to order a filter that matches the size of the pump suction. The suction size reduction will place more suction pressure on the filter and will increase the suction loading on the pump.
You did very wisely to check the truck bed continuity to 'ground' (battery negative) using your ohmmeter. An excellent check to make, and the correct tool to use. You would figure it out the hard way if you hadn't checked and the bed was not connected when you tried to run the pump. It just might have taken longer.
Nathan. Get you a heavy-duty white plastic jug. The kind the farmers get with their chemicals in and throw away. They make a great storage container for chains. Take the chain, find the middle, feed both sides of the chain into the jug, and hook the hooks on the lip of the bottle Also. Uninsulated transfer tanks are bad about condensation. To combat that water, put 32 oz of diesel kleen in that tank every time you fill it up.

Good morning Coffee ☕️ video. I didn’t know VeVor made transfer pumps. My 20 GPM Fillrite died last year & I just couldn’t bring myself to pay 💰 the replacement cost. I’m impressed with my 1” VEVOR Impact gun.
I’m in Michigan and use these tube things that seals your door at the bottom inside to keep the cold air from coming in under the door. You could put those under your tool box and where it meets your new fuel tank to keep the trash from getting underneath. Just a thought - good or bad. 😊
Hey Nathan! Isn’t it funny when you buy a house or a car or anything the secrets come out eventually. If anything is to go wrong, it usually does after you sign on the dotted lines. My oldest son just purchased his first house and the house is releasing its secrets one by one. Ahhh the joys of life. Lol.
Pity about the filters & the heat pump Nathan but still an interesting video to me. Just as well you are a 'jack of all trades' mate. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
The flow area of those 4 triangular cuts is roughly 1/2 the flow area that was there originally with their 4 semicircles. Since the pressure drop is related to the square of the flow velocity, this means the diesel fuel will have four times the pressure drop as it flows through the triangular openings as compared to the semicircular openings. That will put more strain on the pump and possibly increase your pumping time. Watching you struggle with the installation is something all of us encounter more than we would like to admit. A half hour to get a nut on a bolt is about the way most of my projects go.
Yes sir...a good Offee video. Nathan, no apologies needed my friend. Your living life as we all are. Do whatever you need to do. It's the winter months, take care on home issues and the hell with UA-cam. Totally understandable. We we see you when you post, brother! Oh, by the way, good info on installing a refueling tank!
Next time you need a magnet use a stir stick and a drop of super glue if you put just a little saliva on the stick the glue sets instantly then just pop it off after tight
Hey Nathan, something to consider for down the track is, when you are shortening a suction pipe & you need notches in the base, try drilling 4 holes & then cut half way through the hole. Also the weight of the pump may eventually crack the top of the tank, maybe a rubber block to support it could help it long term........ 🙂
tip for mounting to the bed/cab walls, use monkey gunk type putty, push the nut into the putty and a use long wrench to reach the mounting hole. The wrench s/b open end style, after tightening, just pull the wrench free
I noticed that there is a cleanout plug at the bottom of the tank on the outflow side. If you ever need to flush the gunk you won't be able to get to the cleanout without removing the tank. However, if you make an access hole in the side of the truck you can fit a cleanout pipe and ball cock, which would allow you to attach a hose to flush the tank. Just a notion.
`I WOULD SUGGEST off road diesel for your tra ctors, etc. you would have to buy regular diesel for pickup since road tax is on regular diesel , off road is about 30 cents less per gallon - i use off road for tractors - hate paying extra unless i have to
Dee Zee is a very good manufacturer founded in Ankney Iowa in 1977, when I was in high school I had many friends who worker there, their products are top notch and when I was in high school everyone had Dee Zee running boards and other truck accessories , and the time was all made out of aluminium diamond plate. Dee Zee out grew the Ankney facility and moved to Des Moines Ia, and there products are 100% American made, no Chinese junk.
It's called the bummer-factor! If you have a project that you want to finish today, the bummer-factor will show it's ugly head and will cause that one-day project to take three days.
No matter how bad setbacks seem...they could easily be much worse Nathan. Some folks have heat pump problems while others have earthquakes and tsunamis. Did you put Teflon tape on the pickup tube where it threads into that orange tank flange? Great video thumbs up.
Looks good to me, if your feeling lucky you can try lowes and or home depot for fittings, irs a crap shot ,every time I have gone searching it's hit or miss on availability Thanks for your time I don't miss a video T
Get a flatbed. You will never regret it! I’ve on my third one in 33 years. Aluminum is great but the one I have now I had it done with rhino lining and it’s my favorite. Add the hitch so you can switch away from bumper hitches. Now you are set to go!
I don't want to state the obvious, but you could have drilled 4 holes 3 inches up from the end, then then cut through the center of those holes to come up with the same profile as the original. Just voicing another method to get to the same place you did Nathan. Another fine video.
Nathan, thanks for taking us along for the ride. You’re lucky enough to have the tools to make short work of the install. I found myself looking for manual ways to do the modifications, such as a hacksaw instead of the band saw, etc. Great job of an install so far and yes, life has a nasty habit of getting in the way. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you put some "Never Seize" on the bolts for securing the tank, otherwise you will be cursing down the track, plus it helps for a long term ground for the earth strap.... Keep up the good work, cheers from Australia 😃👍
Unless viewers have made a video before I doubt they realize how much work goes into it. It's not just the work off-camera that you have to cut out. It's also the frustration you have to calm down from to keep making sense as you narrate. Besides showing all the good work you do and products you demonstrate, thanks for making another quality reality video with great sound, video angle, and all the other stuff you have to do to produce it.
Like the gentleman below said, You should have put some type of blocks to hold tank up so you can add some type of pipe and ball valve in case you ever need to drain the tank.
Why not just get an outdoor tank that the bulk dealer looks after, filling it when needed then you are not hauling around the tank of purple fuel also if you have to change the truck you would have to go to the trouble of moving it
This may appear a dumb question - why? What is it for? If additional fuel capacity for truck - a simple 1/2" line from bottom of the tank with a ball valve into main truck tank would be sooooo much easier / less complicated! Also having seen the number of fuel tanks that have collected water under the diesel, sucking up from the very bottom seems a bad idea long term?
That's not a dumb question at all. Nathan, and many other farm or industrial operators, use such spare diesel tanks to haul 'Red Diesel' fuel [a deliberately red colored diesel fuel], which is only to be used for non-road taxed vehicles like tractors, forklifts and Mr. Cato, and is priced much lower than the diesel fuel you see when driving along, as the federal and state road-use taxes are not included in the fuel price. You do not want to be caught using non-road taxed Red Diesel in regular trucks or vehicles as the fines for such improper use are significant even though the temptation is there. It is not unusual at all in many states' agricultural areas to encounter mobile diesel fuel inspection points, that can test the fuel in your vehicle on the spot. Tickets with appended fines for those caught can also be issued immediately, with repeat violators subjected to higher penalties as defined by state law. Ouch!
The next time you do a pump install, determine how much you're going to cut off and drill two through holes straddling the cut line on the pipe. A drill press would work well for this. Once that's complete make your cut for length.
Sorry to hear about your heat pump issue. I tried a heat pump back around 2009. It wasn't worth a crap, so I changed it back to a standard natural gas furnace.
The size of a 1/2 moons on the bottom of that pipe were sized that way for the gallon's per min through the pump. Are you sure those v notches are big enough
Nathan an easy way to store your chains is you could cut a hole in the top of one of the empty containers you use for lubricating your saw blade leave the handle in place & cut a hole drop the chain in easy cheap storage cheers
Hey Nathan, first off, Happy New Year to you and your family. In the future when you have very tight places like that you might want to try using what called a Rivnut , it works like a rivet but actually installs a threaded nut to the hole you drilled. They work great and you never have to hold the nut when tightening or loosening. food for thought.
That would drive me nuts having the fill port on the opposite side from the one on the truck. Is there a solution for that, to fill and pump from the same side?
We have a 100gal tank on a pallet. We load it on the 1 ton and fill it with red diesel then sit it next to the sawmill so we can fill it everyday and the other equipment. Its easy to load and unload with the pallet forks on the tractor.
Might seem like a dumb question, but having never owned a truck, let alone a toolbox to mount on i I'm fairly ignorant about this topic. But, could you bolt those lower brackets on the tank to the bottom of the toolbox? And if so, do you think it would help enough to be worth the trouble?

your teflon tape anywhere you want. The only difference you
will find is the price. 😁✌🖖

should have drilled 2 holes all way through it, in the middle of the line where you cut it off. automatic 4 slots result in bottom of pipe.

drill the holes before you cut the original bottom off the pipe, then you just have to file the rough edges, and flare the 4 duck feet
That was my first thought too.
Happy new year..Many blessings

might consider polishing the end so it doesn't scratch a hole in the tank

Wasn’t automotive tape. Just regular. Won’t last long with diesel
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Pretty poor choice on their part! They advertise the pump as being compatible with a variety of fuels.
Good addition for things you need.

The next time you do a pump install, determine how much you're going to cut off and drill two through holes straddling the cut line on the pipe. A drill press would work well for this. Once that's complete make your cut for length.
I would have pulled the inner pipe out and cut the top of the outer pipe and not had to redo the ports at the bottom of the outer pipe. But that's me.
On. Your tractor trade, I understand the tax thing but why give up the cab when you got heat in winter and air in summer
I have another tractor that is a Cab, this one will be for field work, I get your point,
I sorta figured it would be for sale. Sorry
