• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

It appears the electric fuel pump is shot and both of the plastic elbows on the bottom of the cover. The tank is in rough shape too. I can get a 2007 (non fuel injected) tank for fairly cheap. Can I just use this tank and use an external, in-line fuel pump with an in-line filter? If so, what fuel pump should I buy? Thank you!

If you drop the fuel pump plate, you can get to the actual fuel pump. That can be easily replaced fairly cheaply:

Guy on ebay also has a nice gas tank:

I don't know about the elbows. Perhaps you can tap the plate and install new ones. I'm sure somebody has dealt with this and will chime in.

Andrew, are you the guy I met in the Valero station on Jibboom last weekend?

I haven't heard of anyone that has been successful rigging up an external pump and real sure it hasn't happened.
 
Not sure if the 610/630 elbows were different from the 510. A few years back, someone on here had got some stainless 90 to work. It ended up costing him a few hundred if memory serves me right. The other option was to buy one from beta. Husky doesn't sell the elbow by itself. You have to buy the whole pump. Beta sells it by itself. Zip-Ty sells one for the 310.
