    WIll WMO work with Fass Fuel System?

    Agreed. My last truck ran great on 100% WMO, but I think I might even limit this one to a 50/50 blend. We'll see.

    WIll WMO work with Fass Fuel System?

    Well, I went ahead and bought the truck. I think I'm gonna run straight diesel at least for a few months while I get to know ol' girl. Maybe this summer I'll start to slowly blend in some oil. I really can't imagine why it wouldn't work since all it really is is a lift pump/fuel...

    Need some input on pump options for my Used Engine Oil.

    I have been using a submersible trash pump from Harbor Frieght down inside a 55gal drum to transfer WMO higher into my gravity feed barrel and also into my truck for over a year now with no problems. I love it! It pumps 50 gallons in a couple minutes and I think as long as the seals don't see...

    WIll WMO work with Fass Fuel System?

    title says it all. I'm looking at buying a 1985 6.9 that has a Titaniuum Fass Fuel System in it. I'll be more than a little interested in this truck if I can use my WMO setup with it. But I'm wondering if the thicker fuel will wreak havoc with the upgraded fuel system? Any thoughts?

    Truck randomly died today. NEED HELP

    Got the ignition switch replaced and it did solve the problem of no power with the key on. Thanks for the help everyone. Now I need to order the FSS and replace it without blowing my truck up:D

    Thanks towcat, is this the piece you're talkin about:https://www.google.com/search?q=91+f250+ignition+slider+switch&num=20&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiD8JzA_YnKAhUB7WMKHd3HD2YQ_AUICCgC#imgrc=H_4oeJiWtm8YfM%3A

    Truck randomly died today. NEED HELP

    The PO had a new IP installed about 10K ago. New, not reman. So I'm really hoping to avoid a new pump if it's not necessary. I found some Replacement FSS for $60 from Accurate Diesel, does that sound about right?

    Truck randomly died today. NEED HELP

    I took your advice MTKirk. FSS doesn't click. Fun fact though... when I hook up the jumper from battery positive to FSS post, the cab "dings" like the key was left on, but the key isn't even in the truck. :dunno

    Truck randomly died today. NEED HELP

    Well I couldn't find any fried fusible links at the starter relay. But i found a sweet spot in the ignition that allows me to hold power to a few things. After about ten seconds of doing that, the FSS wire started smoking again and the top of the IP (the FSS I assume) was pretty hot to the...

    Truck randomly died today. NEED HELP

    Thanks guys, I'll check them tomorrow. Like I said, I'm no wiring expert, so correct me if I'm wrong. Fusible links just look like really fat sections of wire because of their insulation right? Will I automatically know if they're burned up or do I just cut em all out and start new? And are they...

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    I cut out the electric pump and installed a new mech pump. Got good pressure now. After I get it properly timed, if it still smokes, I think I'll get new injectors... Again:frustrate

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    Agnem- I apologize for upsetting you when I pulled my valve covers. I assure you that was not my intention.:joker: All kidding aside... I do appreciate all your advice. I have no problems with quality parts. But tinkering under the hood is really a hobby for me, I don't mind spending the time...

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    'Yes it definitely sounds like you need a mechanical pump. Funny to me it had 1.5-2 PSI residual after sitting, but 0 psi when running. How did it build the residual when sitting???' The PO installed a small inline electric pump. When the key is on you can hear it trying to pump a little...

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    ^^^^:rotflmao:rotflmao I put a gauge on my fuel filter housing today. 1.5 maybe 2 psi with just the key on. Dropped to zero when I started the truck. I'm thinking my mechanical fuel pump might be toast.

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    The PO is a good friend of mine that I trust. He was very straight forward about all the issues this truck had before I bought it so that I was fully informed. Regarding the IP, he couldn't remember if it was new or a reman, but it was installed by the local Chevy dealer who has a very good...

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    Well I pulled the valve cover and everything checked out. I replaced the fuel filter and filled it with ATF. It started and ran really loud for a couple seconds then smoothed out and hardly smoked at all. I got really excited. But then the ATF must have run out. When it started burning regular...

    zd-9 vs zd-11 glow plugs

    That is correct. The zd9s are only rated for 6v. The idea Ford had was that there was considerable loss of current though the wiring and the GP controller and solenoid. In addition to that they found that putting higher voltage to the low rated GPs, they would heat faster. This worked great...

    zd-9 vs zd-11 glow plugs

    Does anyone know what the difference between a zd-9 and a zd-11 glow plug is? I am aware that the 11 is supposed to be for the PSD and the 9 is for IDIs. But what is the physical difference? What I want is an actual 12 volt GP that uses the bullet style harness not the spade. But i can't seem...

    White smoke/rough idle FIXED!

    Well I pulled the valve cover and didn't see anything out of the ordinary :dunno:confused: Aside from loose or broken rocker arms, is there anything I should check before put the valve cover back on and break the bank to try a new injection pump?

    White smoke/rough idle FIXED!

    Was the white smoke slowly getting worse? I'm thinking I might have a similar issue. There is a bead of burned oil that has seeped out between the block and the exhaust manifold on the passenger side front most cylinder. And my truck is slowly smoking more and more. unreal amounts of smoke when...

    New BB injectors, bad smoke, need advice

    pretty much. right after I installed the injectors it ran great, almost no smoke. but then it started getting worse after about three days. I have been advancing the timing, rotating the pump toward the PS. thanks for the tip about the atf... i had no idea. I just read a short thread about a...
