I don't know how this pump was getting a ground, but my buddy said he could hear it running when he flipped the toggle switch custom breaker thing I deleted on:

The gunk on top of the pump was thicker than a dairy queen blizzard and I ain't kiddin ya. I went through the three stages of grief cleaning it:
1. "Well maybe I can do it cheap with simple green and a brush!" - No.
2. "OK I'll hit it with brake clean, throw some money at it." - Negative
3. "Fine I'll break out the pressure washer."
Got it clean, fortunately the inside looks pretty good:

The crunching noise I heard was the plastic baffle cracking when I put the jack directly underneath with no support. It's still in one piece so I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that and reuse the tank. There was hardly any diesel left, maybe a quart or two, so my siphon deal was mostly successful.

Pump hanger assembly looks ok, so I'm going to reuse it. This was the pump that was in there:

Next steps are ordering a turbine style pump to support my pwm power supply, I reckon 255lph should be sufficient for anything TPI based. I also need to figure out where that power is going to integrate into the harness, I can create my own weatherpack terminals but I forget how many amps a single terminal supports on them, if it's 15a that should be ok but if it's 10a then maybe I split the feed wire over 2 terminals and change the 3pin to a 4pin.
Perhaps I should decide on a location for the ecm and run some wires. I was just peeking under the truck bed after having the tank out and there was like a feather attached to fishing line on a thing hanging?? Probably a dreamcatcher to filter out my ghosts or something. I'll take a closer look later, it was dark down there and I had to get to work.
