What every farm needs!! Most Handy Portable Truck Beed Fuel Tank/Tool Box!

What happens here

First, install the adjustable pickup tube into the tank, extending it to its full length so it reaches the bottom. Next, attach the fuel filter to the pump's outlet. Apply a small amount of engine oil or diesel fuel to the filter gasket before screwing it onto the filter housing. Then, secure the fuel hose to the pump's outlet and attach the nozzle adapter to the end of the hose, again using Teflon tape on all threaded connections. The presenter advises to leave connections slightly loose until the tank is in the truck for final adjustment, to ensure the filter clears the truck's bed rails.

Goal: Complete assembly of the pump system with all attachments
