    Fuel tank problems in my 93 7.3 dually

    I have just put 2 new tanks from autozone in my dually. I have the truck setup to go with wvo or bio when I am finished. Right now I have straight diesel in the tanks. I have electric pumps on each tank and the rear tank seems to be shedding a gray substance. I have spoken to Gorman who...

    Setting timing on my 7.3 IDI 1993

    As I want to eventually burn WVO in the truck my understanding is 8 degrees advanced is what it should be set at. The truck is set up with seperate f7uel systems so when I take the plunge it should do OK. I am not interested in smoke or mpg but the use of wvo is my ultimate use. I have about 7...

    wvo in idi

    You mite want to think this over. I started with dungarees and sheets. If you do not want to get yourself upset you mite want to look into other methods of filtering. I use sock filters that I purchase off ebay. I use a 50micron stuffed into a 25 micron stuffed into a 10 micron stuffed into a 1...

    Cover replacement on my 7.3 IP

    On my 1993 7.3 rebuilt IP it lasted only 3 weeks and then no fuel was coming out. I contacted the rebuilder who is located 150 miles from home. It is warrented and the tech talked me thru things to check for. It seemed the metering rod was sticking. I put test leads on the cover to check whether...

    wvo in idi

    I am running a Frybid circular HE with a oem ford filter in the middle. This past summer I witnessed my diesel froth to such a point that I developed air in the line. It was only when I disconnected the HE and ran the second tank with no heat that I managed to get home. I have separate systems...

    wvo in idi

    Before you put a heater on your system if you run 75diesel 25 wvo you will be heating your diesel and will wind up with a frothing condition. If you go 25 diesel 75 wvo you mite get away with it. In So Fl I run 20diesel /80wvo filtered to 1 micron with no heat on my mercedes's. On my f350 7.3...

    What did I break now?

    I just replaced my IP in my 7.3 non turbo. It is a rebuilt engine with less than 4,000 miles. It has electric fuel pump and if it can be rebuilt it has. It has been running fine for the 2 weeks that the IP was installed. I left the lights on in a rainstorm for 8 hours. I charged it overnite and...

    wvo in idi

    Wvo can be mixed with diesel all day long and will not separate. You do not have to change hoses with wvo. You do have to change hoses with bio. You only have to heat wvo when you want to run it unblended. I have been blending for 7 years and in So Fl blending is the norm. When winter comes I...
