Do 12V's need lift pump help too?

Just curious. Looking for anyone's thoughts on what performance levels (for the 12V motors) begin to exceed our stock lift pump's capabilities.

I ran my truck out of fuel last summer, while pushing it real hard. When I got to the next fuel stop, doing some calculations, knowing I've got a 35 gallon tank, there appeared to be about 6 gallons of fuel unaccounted for.

My next truck money is going to get used on a new fuel sender and a larger transfer flow tank. I figure if I'm dropping the tank to fix the sender I may as well put in a bigger tank....should I look into also adding a pusher pump as long as I'm tearing into the fuel system?

Let the meeting begin,

Cheers all,

Gill
