Re: 6.2 fuel sending unit problems

You really only need vent, supply, and return for the diesels. The tank drain is superfluous.

GM stopped installing the tank drain in the Civvy rigs around 1984 or 1985 or so. Since the military spec for the trucks was based on an early 1984 chassis, and the military gets nervous about changes, they kept building them exactly the same til Uncle Sam stopped ordering them.

If it's stock pre mid-84 you'll find a valve somewhere around the spring hanger on the frame. It may actually be inside the spring hanger. The TM will probably tell you. You can get rid of this drain line unless you're going for exactly original.
