Any suggestions on feul pump? Installing 51 gallon bed tool-box gas tank combination in 01 HD 8.1.What brand pump did you use, and where did you buy it?
Bought tank from RDS in Perry, Fla.Looked at Transfer-Flow and American Tank. Transfer was about $2200, American $1450. All certified for gasoline per DOT and also legal in California. Vapor recovery system in my truck certified for 100 gallons.
The question was for advice on type of pump!
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I got a tank from RDS rated for gas also but run diesel. I assume you considered the gravity feed kit from RDS and opted to go with a pump. I am sold on the gravity feed and how it works on my RDS tank.
Wanted the pump for couple of reasons. Do not have to haul extra gas cans for boat, or go get 2 gallons for lawn equipment. Install "T" with shut off in tool box, wire extra switch to tool box compartment, then pump from tank to boat tanks , log splitter,mower, etc.
Just about any automotive pump will work for what you want.
I carry an old fuel pump from a Ford Ranger that I use to transfer fuel/gas from one container to another. I wired it with a power point/cigarette lighter connector and then put a length of fuel line on both ends with a see through filter. I carry it in an ammo can in my tool box and pull it out whenever I need it.

Update on fuel pump. Bought NAPA in-line pump,filter and 6 feet of 5/16 steel fuel line. Mounted pump inside tool box, to keep idle eyes and hands away. Plumbed line in hard pipe,except in two locations for vibration. Welded hard line into filler neck, did not know that GMs now have inner linner in fuel hose.
Mounted illuminated rocker switch under dash.
Works nice, and nothing visible from outside.
