    Racor fuel filter install on frame. Stumped

    Well I"m stumped, can't get the fuel system to prime even with the fuel filter filled up with fuel. I'm just going to reconnect the old fuel line and get my truck back into operation until I can figure out what the hell is going on. Very frustrating.

    Racor fuel filter install on frame. Stumped

    I plumbed in the filter tonight but ran into a snag of fuel starvation. It might be that I didn't fill the Racor filter with fuel before running. I drove about a mile and the truck sputtered and died of fuel starvation. I plumbed in a new rubber line from the tank to the Racor. I'm hoping...

    Racor fuel filter install on frame. Stumped

    Hello all, I've mounted a Racor fuel/water separator and filter on the frame of my 01 F250 but have run into a problem of how to plump the filter in. Does anyone have any diagrams or photos of how you installed the filter? My issue is either trying to cut the metal fuel lines or plumbing...

    Bypass filtration question and full flow oil filters

    I found a perfect place for the bypass filter on the frame. What I do to determine if the filter is clogged is scan it with an IR thermometer. If it doesn't warm up, then I know the media is clogged. There is a pressure tap and return fitting right near the oil filter on the block. The feed...

    Why you should change your oil

    The oil itself doesn't go bad, it's the additive packages and acid neutralizers that become depleted.

    Bypass filtration question and full flow oil filters

    The reason I'm asking this is that I have installed a NTZ bypass oil filter that filters down to 1/2 micron. My Blackstone reports are all coming up great and I've got 7k on the full flow oil filter now. I figure that since the NTZ filter is removing particles down to 1/2 micron (just like...

    1986 F250 XLT Lariat

    It'd be a perfect transplant truck. The body is in great shape as well as the rest of the power train. I looked again at the front of the engine, and the harmonic balancer is spinning loose. Probably be a simple fix for you guys with a heated shop and air tools to put a new motor in this thing.

    Hey, wanted to give this a bump, hope that's alright. I'd take 2000 bucks or best offer. The OD and tires are worth that.

    Interesting setup. What's the typical price for something like that?

    You got me there Alex. What has a google search come up with? I use a 5 micron water filter and then a proper 5 micron fuel filter like what you would find at NAPA for the final polish.

    Direct Injection is really the way to go. Not saying that the IDI isn't a good system. DI is better for higher power and reduced emissions. One of the primary reasons that manufacturers went to DI is that IDI wouldn't meet the emissions regs that were coming up at the time.

    This is more of a legal CYA than anything else. Ford can warranty the truck and engine parts but NOT the fuel that the driver puts in it. By limiting the biodiesel blend to 5%, they put the burden on the driver. Also, if your truck has any sort of DPF on it with a regen cycle, I do not...

    Vehicles made after 1994 have Viton components in the fuel injection system. Viton is resistant to biodiesel. If you have rubber hoses in your fuel system, Parker hose carries a whole line of Viton line to replace them.

    There are many of us homebrewers who run B100 through 7.3s with no problems what so ever. The problem is that there is so much rampant ignorance about biodiesel and how to make it properly, that most diesel owners will recoil in horrors due to the misinformation that they heard from 'my buddy's...

    I givey you The Green Monster

    Given that I've been making biodiesel for the past 5 years, I'm aware of the issue of quality. 275 is more than enough since I'm not going to be pulling large loads all the time. If I do put a tuner in there, it will be something like a WatchDog or ScanTune II for mileage.

    I have the chains, I'm going to put in a BullyDog Watchdog. 275 horsepower is more than enough for what I need it for.

    Just some chains, a posi rear end and weight in the rear end is enough for me.

    Just got my new truck today. Real beast on the freeway. To say it's quiet is an understatement. I'll be on the Powerstroke forum if you have any questions about biodiesel. My old truck is still up for sale too.
