so i have confirmed that my idi is pulling air in through the water bleed off screw at the bottom of the seperator and causing my engine to loose its prime overnight making it a hog to start in the morning. My questions is
what is the fuel filter that fits the 7.3 idi that just eliminates the bottom opening so its a regular filter like the 6.9 or a regular oil filter if that gives you all a visual.
The auto parts store didnt know what i was talking about, so i compared the 87 6.9 filter and 1993 7.3 and besides the obvious water seperator portion on the bottom the threads that the filter screws onto the housing is way bigger on the 7.3 i used autozone part number ff815-6.9 and autozone ff816-7.3 for comparison.
i cant find the info anywhere searching the forum either.
