Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....

[BioFarmer93]

Hey Bill,
I run 2 Goldenrod filters, one just before the lift pump and one under the hood on the back side of the regular location. I got that black gravely stuff after taking on a load of fuel at Raceway- never purchased from them again. The Goldenrod filterhead is designed to be supported by hard piping, so a little rigging is called for since I'm not set up to weld aluminum. I ended up using a piece of 1/4" steel plate and drilling 2 holes in it to mount it to the frame, and cutting 2 slots in it to accept the SS hose clamps. Sounds sketchy but has worked fine for many thousands of miles. I check it every now and then just to keep an eye out for any wear. The one under the hood has a similar mount.

Why didn't I think of that? That's a good idea, BF!!!

Have any idea what that black gravelly stuff is?

Oops. Didn't see this thread. Just posted a thread on my install of a Racor 500FG2 on my '93 7.3 IDI F250.

I don't have a clue, the only thing I can think of that it looked like is black volcanic sand..

Did it look something like this?
I’m not sure exactly what the black stuff is but I know it has a ton of water in it as it’s frozen in a Jerry can right now.

I think when I change my fuel system over to single tank only and redo the pump situation I’m going to use the empty space where the front tank was to build an on board air setup with a nice big tank

Just FYI I built one of those on my last truck and after adding all the costs up I should have just gone and buought a Viair setup

Yeah but a more uniform size though... I'm starting to think that some of the refineries could do a better job of filtering out the asphaltines after the cracking process... JM2cents...

No, the stuff I had was pure black, granular and much more regular in size and shape..
