F150 Fuel Tank + Toyota Sending Unit Kit

[Team_Jake]

Can you use the kit to run dual gas tank?

The wiring would be a little different - you need to have some kind of switch at the split between the two wiring harnesses that go to each tank. The switch needs to isolate both the fuel pump and the sending unit of each tank so the fuel pump or sending unit on the tank that is not in use does not interfere. I'll leave that for you to figure out, but I don't see any reason why this kit wouldn't work in a dual tank setup.

also, hi [MENTION=28464]eimkeith[/MENTION]

- 'sup!

 

[Team_Jake]

Kits will be shipping out tomorrow!

I have a '96 but I'm buying a kit regardless.

Do keep us up to date when you start the project! I have a 96' as well and would love to follow along on the journey.

So who here has actually used this and installed it?

What did you do with your evap line, if you hooked it up to the EMS valve then did you get an internally vented fill neck?

Good timing on this. I have the kit on my bench in the garage. Thinking it might be a good winter project but would love to hear from people who have installed it. cheers

Cheers brotha.

I just placed the order for the tank, ems valve, lower straps and upper straps. Just looking for the cheapest OEM sender and need P/N for the Ford pump or high LPM equivalent.

TSB clarification

• This kit is made for 1999-2002 4Runners, this kit will NOT work on 1996-1998 4Runners. Starting in 1999, Toyota switched to a digital odometer and the way the fuel sending unit works is by a digital reference from the dash, and the sending unit geometry and electronics completely changed. The bracket and wiring harnesses in this kit have been designed to only work with these 1999-2002 Toyota sending units. If you have a 1996-1998 4Runner and want your factory fuel gauge to work after swapping fuel tanks, I believe you can get your gauge to work (minus the low fuel light) by using a fuel calibration device (see Classic Instruments Fuel Link, MeterMatch Fuel Gauge Interface Module, or similar device).
• The bracket only works with the Toyota Sending Unit P/N 83320-35590 (1999-2001 model years) or P/N 83320-35620 (2002 model year). Sometime in late 2000, Toyota had a service bulletin TSB EL010–00, which replaced the (sometimes defective) sending unit P/N 83320-35530 with P/N 83320-35590. The geometry changed between these two versions, the bracket in this kit is designed to fit the later version. So if you have a model year 2002, your OEM unit should work. If you have a 1999-2001 model year and had your vehicle serviced from TSB EL010–00, then your sending unit will work. Some 2001 model years will have the old unit and some will have the new unit, it depends on the production date. If you have a 1999-2000 model year and have not had your vehicle serviced from TSB EL010–00, you need to purchase the new sending unit (P/N 83320-35590).

for this the TSB asks to replace a circuit board behind the speedo? Is that actually necessary? I have a 99 and I'm sure i have the older sender with the newer one on order

I don't believe you have to replace that circuit board. I say that because my 1999 4Runner was not part of the recall and the new sender works. But just to be sure, I suggest you "bench" test the new sender with your current gauge. To do this, remove the panel under your rear-driver-side seat, disconnect the wiring connector, and wire the new sender according to the wiring diagram I provided on the first page. Note that the sender needs to be grounded properly, so be sure to connect a wire from the metal bracket on the sender to somewhere on the body (a wire with alligator clips on both ends works well).

Please let me know your findings.

Edit: For some reason I assumed your 4Runner was part of the recall, but after re-reading your comment, you never said that. Again, my 4runner was not part of the recall and the new sender works, so I would think that yours will work without issue. I still suggest testing the sender before modifying it just in case something is wrong with it so you can return/exchange it.

So is there any space left to get in on this?
Thanks!

Yes, absolutely! I'll send you a DM.

Alright, got the kit ordered (thanks [MENTION=177008]Team_Jake[/MENTION]!), and trying to plan for the fun ahead:

First, I'm trying to accomplish the tank swap and retain the emissions controls for A) no CELs and B) passing local emissions tests (not Cali), so I'm trying to integrate/accommodate whatever's necessary to keep the computer from freaking out.

I have an '02, which has the obnoxious charcoal canister above where the spare normally sits. There's about a billion vacuum lines in and out of that thing, two of which connect to the fuel tank (tank vent valve and cutoff valve), and two of which connect to the filler neck.

The tank vent valve itself has a column that extends down into the stock tank. Everything on the stock tank is mounted (I think) well above the full level, i.e. it's not constantly submerged in fuel. Is there any danger swapping the Toyota tank vent valve assembly onto the F150 tank, where it will likely have most of that column under the fuel level?

The F150 tank has a small hole in the middle for the EMS valve; the Toyota cutoff valve is the equivalent to this, correct? Is there any reason not to just use the Ford EMS valve and connect it to the charcoal canister?

Checking back to see if anyone has installed with this kit, I'm picking up my F150 tank from HotMetalFab from [MENTION=118730]AssBurns[/MENTION] rig. :cheers:

Also, [MENTION=177008]Team_Jake[/MENTION] , would you think this fuel pump would work fine with this kit? Quantum 340LPH Direct Drop-In Rear-Tank Fuel Pump Assembly for Ford 1990-1996, Replaces Airtex E2064MN

I'm supercharged and 100' elevation so I need all the fuel I can get.

As long as the pump has the same mounting locations for the sender and no obscure geometry gets in the way of the sender or the arm, then it should work without issue. From what I can tell from the photos, it should work.

Thank you. I might do this if the stock ford pump gives me issues.

 

[Team_Jake]

Thank you. I might do this if the stock ford pump gives me issues.

Keep us updated if you do try this pump. I think we'd all like to have the option to switch pumps if the stock one proves to not be able to handle full throttle or a supercharger.
