Yah... I can't remember why I abandoned the project to begin with. I had the pump in hand, and was trying to figure out how to plumb it, and then... it just dropped off the radar.
Anyhoo, some promising news. Logged the last few tankfuls with this pump installed. Results are consistent with my estimates, which is good.
The 7/5 return trip from Ohio saw an average fuel economy of about 19.8 MPG, which is really good considering I had a Dakota front bumper lashed to the hitch-mounted cargo carrier.
This latest long trip promises even better numbers. There is no cargo carrier installed this time. Typically, the Durango's trip computer tracks to within 1/2 an MPG of what I calculate, so the below picture indicates some significant fuel savings.
