    Running without a fuel filter

    I've attached some more pictures. A couple things I'm wondering: I feel silly asking this, but how do the fittings for the hard fuel lines screw back into the filter housing? Looking at the end of the fittings, it doesn't looks like it spins. Or, is it simply a matter of detaching the...

    Running without a fuel filter

    Update: I got the replacement filter assembly, but it doesn't quite fit. It's too big, the fittings are the wrong diameter, and the input and output are at wrong angles so I'd have to reroute a bunch of lines. I called the parts guy at Ford, and they informed me it's usually the heater...

    Running without a fuel filter

    Thanks ironworker40, I ended up buying that part you linked to (325R12-30). I'm in Florida, no need for the heating element. Seems like the easiest way to get going again. bbjordan and BDCarillo, I did have the filter itself replaced at the shop before the filter housing was bypassed...

    Running without a fuel filter

    Thanks for all the input, guys. I really hope I haven’t done any permanent damage on the ride home… my IP and injectors are pretty much new, replaced less than 6000 miles ago. I don’t want to blow those up again! I hope that by keeping the tank level high during my drive home, I avoided...

    Running without a fuel filter

    I'm considering getting this inline filter (http://www.amazon.com/Moeller-Universal-Inline-Glass-Filter/dp/B000MT94OM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) since it looks like i'll be able to connect it to the fittings that go into the stock housing. The one thing I'm wondering is what's the best way to...

    Running without a fuel filter

    My truck lost power and conked out as I was going down the highway... after getting towed to a nearby shop, the problem was narrowed down to a leak or crack letting air somewhere in the fuel filter housing. Since I was stranded and couldn't wait 3 days for a new housing to come into the...

    Weird cancer slowly taking over LCD odometer screen?

    This has really got me stumped... I noticed a black "growth" moving and covering LCD odometer display on my '92 F250 IDI. I'm pretty sure it was getting worse as I was driving, though that could have been my imagination. Got a picture of it, Have you guys ever seen anything like this...

    need help identifying busted radiator hose

    Hi Everyone! I picked up a 92' with the 7.3 IDI a few months ago, and it's been an adventure... my first truck and diesel to boot -- fun truck to drive but it's taken quite a bit of work so far to get it back up to *****. The latest thing is a busted rubber hose that was spewing coolant as...
