    fuel line / hose size

    I know the supply line is 3/8. Does anyone know what the return is that runs back to the tank? My best guess is 5 / 16. Bypassing my fsv since i think it has some junk in it causing fuel starvation at higher rpms.

    Thinking of looking at an idi and have some questions

    What would cause an idi to start and run for 5 minutes and shut off. Also how would i go about testing for cavitation? Sca test strips? It is a 7.3. Any other things i should look out for besides the common ford stuff. I already have another f250 so i know those issues.
