You would have to know where the silver leaf is picking up their pressure I believe that line under vacuum or close to it How could that pump suck 20 ' away with pressure . Maybe 1st stage pump discharge.

One more thought that I have ,if your Aeroquip fuel hose is similar to what I have it's rated for 200 psi. The pump that I'm using was originally designed for the 1998 to 2002 Cummins with the 5.9 and after a lot of research Fass  decided that there was a need for the pump the instructions say to put it as close to the gas tank as possible so that's what I decided to do . I believe adding a pump anywhere Has to be better than trying to suck the fuel . Can't wait till I retire so I can sit around the campfire and we all can talk about this 🇺🇸

So Bruce reading those gph what pressure would deliver say 20gph. Can  any experts figure that one out as to give a close idea of pressure.
This would then make me consider install of fass pump without worrying about touching that lift pump.

I'm considering Fass pump. I would put it a just before the pre filter as at the tank would now be hard. If I was doing it when I changed
the fuel lines it would be easy to put it at the tank. What size pump would work on an M11

Sooooo...has anyone done a complete system install (pump/with filters) and willing to share the details?

I have read in great detail about it being done on many other RV's, just not on a Foretravel. Our unique central tank with no filler hoses (direct welded filler bungs) sort of complicates the return line part, a litle bit.

Anyone installed Lift pump on M11. Considering installing Fass 165 gallon per hour pump and filters. Replacing lines and thinking might as well do it. If you've done where is best place to mount for ease of access and avoiding problems with diesel spills and clean up

Why do you want to do this?

Several reasons
1 main fuel pump not pulling fuel threw screen, secondary filter hoses and primary filter
2 air removed from fuel makes it atomize better
3 fuel that is stripped of air operates at higher pressure
4 fuel  system works as it was intended
5 no possibility of air leaks into fuel system problematic with them.
6 improved fuel recirculating causing improved fuel cooling for the ECM threw the fuel cooler plate.
