Bypass filtering of diesel fuel

[STEVEBROOKS]

I have completed the majority of the fuel by-pass filtering system on my truck. Very happy with the results so far. Only remaining task is to add the sump to the main tank and plumb it in to the system. That said, I'd like any advice as to where to place the sump on my main tank from anybody who has added one to theirs. Rationale is that I had an in-tank pump added to my truck years ago under warranty and, with the '03s originally not having an in-tank pump, there are not cast markings on the bottom of the tank indicating where the in-tank pump is located above. My understanding (perhaps wrong?) is that those year models that do have a factory-installed in-tank pump have cast indicators on the tank to show where the pump is located above. I've been advised to place the sump "at the lowest point of the tank", but don't want to assume doing that won't interfere with the in-tank pump. Any photos and/or sump-locating measurements anybody can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Would still appreciate if somebody could give any info/pictures of where to place the sump.

Todd,

Appreciate your input about the sump. I'm still considering which way to go to tap into the main tank.

Oops. Sorry.
It's a racor 1000 with a 2 micron filter.

That makes more sense. IIRC they use older SAE specs so under current specs it would likely be a 4um filter, but there is nothing wrong with that.

What's the lowest micron filter anyone has found for the stock filter housing?

The Baldwin PF7977 which is 5um absolute.
