7.3 Excursion fuel pickup unit?
Ok got the 6.0 pickup assembly and it will fit in the 7.3 excursion fuel tank the only thing needed was the locating pins need to be bent out some to lineup but that might be since it is a aftermarket part Delphi FL0272. Already has the hutch mod done also so if you cant find the fuel sending...- rodman68

Fuel pressure low unable to get it about 48psi
The only thing I bought the Dorman kit was for the gasket on the poppet valve cant get those just by themselves, my original was in bad shape. Then of course I seen the difference in the what I assume is a bleed hole in that brass poppet, so I only used the gasket and the brass poppet out of the...- rodman68

Fuel pressure low unable to get it about 48psi
Two gauges are reading the same so assume gauges are good. I used a Dorman regulator rebuild kit and noticed the bleed hole is pretty small compared to the one I pulled out of the truck. I can get 60 psi now so I assumed the large bleed hole is now too big for some reason. Once it hits 60 I get...- rodman68

Fuel pressure low unable to get it about 48psi
Ok we have an update so on this second or is it third round of looking at the regulator assy, I noticed that the brass poppet that I pulled out, the hole in it is much larger than the Dorman rebuild kit I ordered. Now I have 60 psi with using the Dorman poppet valve and the black spring from...- rodman68

7.3 Excursion fuel pickup unit?
So I hit up the local Salvage yard to do some Ford Pickup tube searching and I found a match for that sensor piece, at least the Excursion all you need is to swap the float arm. The vehicle that I pulled it from was a 2005 Ford Escape good news is you can access the tank without removing it...- rodman68

Fuel pressure low unable to get it about 48psi
Ok have an update so here is what I got. Fuel tank has been dropped. New fuel pump installed running input to a 5 gallon fuel can. Return line is dumping into a empty 5 gallon fuel can.

7.3 Excursion fuel pickup unit?
Probably ok for a long time unless you are using bio in more quantity than the up to 5% we could have here. I don't think 5% will effect them for a very long time if at any.- rodman68

7.3 Excursion fuel pickup unit?
Depends on if I get an answer if the 6.0 pickup tube will fit on the 7.3 excursion tank I will go that route first. Thinking about just ordering the 6.0 on Amazon if it doesn't work well I can return it. I am going to try and get to the scrap yard today to see if I can find just the sending...- rodman68
