My truck:
1989 F-250 7.3 ATS 093 4x4 RCLB 5spd.
I noticed that on the front tank setting it would pull from front and return to rear.
I had decided to do take down and apart my fsv.
Now.
Whoever designed the location of the FSV on reg cab trucks deserves a warm spot in hell. My other 7.3 idi and psd both are supercabs and both have relatively easily accessible fsvs. Could I get the same easily accessible part here? Noooo.
Asshats.
Anyway. After taking a #2 diesel bath, I had to take two consecutive showers. My truck, even though I sat on a fender cover and didnt wear my seatbelt, STILL smells like a refinery. My clothes are drenched. I was wearing Eau De #2 por hommes. My shower now has rainbows from the dead dinosaurs that are swirling down the drain. My loofah, which previously smelled like manly-man-hairy-chested-carnivore now smells like Jurassic plants in liquid form. House reeks of diesel. I still smell of diesel. If I were single at a bar I wouldn't attract the pretty little college girls to take home, no! I would attract beer-gutted, four toothed truck drivin' hilljacks sitting down next to me trying to chat me up. I still taste diesel. I tred pizza with extra Tabasco, and I'm pretty sure I now know what a stegosaurus tastes like. BAaahhh!!! Eff this, I'm going to a bar, shooting straight rail whiskey hopefully getting some of this taste out of my mouth.
In a nutshell: I have a huge dislike for **** engineers right now.
About the fsv: Mine was a solenoid style, drilled out the four rivets, and found that the screws used to hold down Chebby 4.3 dizzy caps down are perfect for screwing it back together. Relatively easy job. Start to finish was right at 1.5 hours or so.
