For those of you who did a diesel swap on a Grand Wagoneer did you use the original tank pickup or did you need to get a larger one to keep up with the fuel flow of a 4bt? The 4bt is stock rotary pump, 110 hp if I remember correctly, nothing turned up.

So yes you can use the factory pick, But I would advise you to remove any sock/filter at the end. The VE lift pump is a diaphragm, that type doesn't have very much strength sucking fuel. So any restriction from the sock/filter may be a problem.
And I'm leaving the factory 5/16 fuel line in my GW when I swap the gas for a 4BT, P-pump.1989 GW/91.5 Dodge W250 CTD flatbed/ 06 Ford Crown Vic Police Intercepter/05 Jeep Liberty Diesel.

Originally posted by Tigger4XWith the P-pump Vs the VE you can eliminate the lift pump, fuel/water filter, and such by installing an AirDog unit. There are a few models to choose from that will give you not only better filtration and fuel delivery, but you can increase the pressure if/when you decide to add more HP to the engine.
If I do decide to install a #10 fuel plate I'll use 3/8 fuel line.1989 GW/91.5 Dodge W250 CTD flatbed/ 06 Ford Crown Vic Police Intercepter/05 Jeep Liberty Diesel.

For the rheostat you'll have to take the factory one off and tack weld to the new tank tube.
I've not seen a GW sending unit so I could be totally wrong on this fix.
The pic is from the Scout 19 gal tank to 37 gal tank. Same sending unit so I just lengthen the float arm
