    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    I plan on sticking around. You guys have such a wealth of knowledge and experience it’s invaluable to me. Other than tractors, my truck is the only diesel our family has had, so it’s been a learning experience for me for sure but worth every minute of it.

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Thank you for the compliment @Garbage_Mechan:) my peers think I’m weird because my hobbies are my truck and training horses, but it’s crazy to me how little most teens know about how to live a full life. I’ve been blessed with good parents and a solid upbringing. I am hoping that eventually I...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Ok guys, I just wanted to give you all an update on my transfer pump system. I just got my pump between the front and rear tanks rigged up and the system works excellent in the driveway. I have yet to see how it performs while I’m driving, but I am assuming it’ll work good. Thank you guys for...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Ohh, ok yeah. That would cost a fortune. Now I see why they just use aluminum and ceramic coat pistons

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Ok, this is a little off topic, but I have two more questions. My first question is, if I put kerosene in my fuel as a anti-gelling additive, would it decrease the lubrication element of the diesel? I run Marvel mystery oil at every fill up, so I’m not sure that’s even a concern. My second...

    I’ll let you guys know how well it works after I get everything together. It’ll probably be a couple weeks till I can get it done though due to work and school. Thank you all for all your help!:)

    Good point @Cubey. I’ll run the all the way down the filler into the tank to prevent air bubbles. And I’ll post a sketch of what’s in my head in just a few minutes for you @Selahdoor

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    And I just found another solution to transferring fuel!:) my truck has a “custom” 2inch high flow filler hose, and a section on the hose is metal, so I think I’m just going to pull the metal part, tap a fitting into it and then I’ll be bypassing the return line altogether. No return line or...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    It is pretty great blessing to be able to live out here. And highway 4 is actually one of my all time favorites. My dad builds rock crawlers so we take them over 4 to the Deer Valley and Slickrock off-road trails.

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    It’s definitely worth the 60 miles, I’m on the California/Nevada border, and diesel is $2.65 in NV, and $4.45 in CA. And I do carry a 5 gal can with me all the time, only had to use it once though :Thumbs Up

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Ok, perfect, I have everything already for doing that except the check valve and hose. I’ll pick those next week sometime. Thanks for the tips !:) I’ll let you know how it goes. I have a 60 mile commute to the community college I’m taking some classes at, and the nearest gas station with...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    And that is exactly what I was thinking @Cubey. I just wasn’t sure if it would mess with return line pressures:dunno

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    The pick up is in good condition, good to know RockAuto has them though, thanks:). I’m just curious if there is any reason it wouldn’t be wise to tee into the front tank return line where it exits the tank. It seems to me to be the simplest option for using the rear tank to feed fuel to the...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Originally I was planning on using the selector valve, but it doesn’t work, and the sending unit in the rear tank also doesn’t work. I’m on a tight budget right now and am just trying to get the rear tank usable. I will probably replace the selector and sending unit when money allows. But for...

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Hey guys, I am trying to resolve yet another issue that the P.O. did before I got my truck. When I got my rig the mechanical diesel lift pump had been replaced by a inline electric pump mounted down on the frame just in front of the front fuel tank. Everything works as it should, only when the...

    Tow system wiring needs resurrection, help please!:)

    Thanks for the pointers. I just came in from working on it and saw your reply. I got the system working, it turned out the left and right blinker wires had been switched, the brake controller power wire was disconnected, and the supply wire to the 12v trailer charging pin in the plug had been...

    Tow system wiring needs resurrection, help please!:)

    Hey guys, I’m pretty new here on the forum, but I have a few questions I’m hoping to get some info on. I have a 94’ f-350 turbo 7.3 idi zf5 4x4 with 297,000 miles. I just finished doing a complete rebuild on the engine and now I’m addressing some wiring issues that came with the truck. I kinda...

    Beru plugs early failure?

    It’s gotten to where I hesitate buying parts online except from performance shops and RockAutoLOL

    Biting the bullet: Converting to electric fuel pump

    Huh, ok. My 94’ 7.3 is set up slightly different, but thats probably due to the year and model

    Biting the bullet: Converting to electric fuel pump

    Is it just me, or would teeing off the return into the pressurized supply line be a possible cause of pressure in the return line?

    Beru plugs early failure?

    Hey guys, I’m new to Oilburners, but I’m dealing with the same glow plug issue so I thought I’d chime in. I just finished a complete rebuild on my 94’ 7.3 idi about a month ago, and since putting the engine back in the truck 5-6 of the 8 glow plugs have failed. They were “motorcraft” plugs I got...
