Diesel Innovations Complete Pre-Pump fuel line kit
Product Description
Do you want failure insurance for your injectors?
On the 7.3L Power Stroke from 99 to 2003, there are 2 quick disconnect fittings in the fuel line before the fuel pump. Under pressure, these o-ring QD's work well at holding pressure. But under suction, these o-rings have a tendency to leak air from the outside in to the fuel line. The injectors rely on fuel to provide lubrication. Obviously, air bubbles in the fuel have no lubricitive properties. Air in Fuel + Injectors = $$$$$$$$$
Do you feel like dropping your tank to check fuel filters? In your fuel tank, there is a white mixing valve that is supposed to warm up the fuel to prevent gelling. However, if your truck is sitting overnight in cold weather, that fuel is already gelled if preventative measures have not been taken ( i.e.. additives or winter blend diesel). This valve also has 2 small filters in it to trap particulate matter from getting in to the fuel system. Don't feel like dropping your tank to check these filters? Ford doesn't either. That's why there is no mixing chamber in the new 6.0L Power Stroke trucks!
Does your truck make a different sound when the fuel tank is less than 1/4 full? The last part that needs attention is a duck bill that, when the pickup foot is clogged, will allow an alternate source of fuel to enter. If the fuel in your tank is below 1/4 ( below this duck bill) , you can suck air in to the fuel lines!
This kit is designed to replace all of the qick disconnects in the fuel line, remove the mixing valve, and bypass the duck bill. This will insure that there is no way that air can enter your fuel lines and damage your injectors unless you run your tank low. There is also a small disposable filter included to install before the fuel pump so that it is protected so that dropping the tank to check the status of your in tank filter is not required, and you can check for air
