I live in upstate NY, maybe hits 0f here but uasually 30's...
there is no fuel heater on my 6.8 or water seperator. what kinda trouble am i lookin at?

 

I don't have the fuel heater hooked up, and I deleted the original 6.9L water separator for a fuel filter with a drain screw on the bottom. Never any issues in SE WI and we get below 0 in January. And come to think of it I've never drained my fuel filter yet.. maybe I should do that once

 

Okk, how do you do that? draining the filter? change it? also where can i get diesel kleen cheap?

 

I got a filter from Napa that had a small thumbscrew on the bottom to drain water out. I switched to a 7.3L filter head so I can't give you the part number of mine as the 6.9 and 7.3 filter heads are different. I usually buy my diesel kleen at Wal Mart, but some other guys might have cheaper sources.

 

im kinda looking for a 7.3 head so id have a heater.

 

Your 6.9L heater went bad I take it?

 

PO removed it, i just got the truck. it was like an abused puppy that i took in.. pulled 1 champion gp and 2 diffrent kinds of autolites..

 

You can get a fuel filter heater that wraps around the actual filter. F250 has a link for it. I would wire it in with a relay and use the old heater wire to toggle the relay. There are a lot of fuel heaters out there. Try googling it and see what comes up. You probably don't want one that uses coolant as a heat source as it relies on the engine to be warm before it is effective.

 

Something like this:

WOLVERINE FUEL FILTER HEATER / DIESEL/BIO FUEL HEATER 12 VOLT 50 WATT NEW | eBay

 

i got my 85fl oz bottle of winter blend diesel kleen from walmart for ~$25.

 

what relay? i have a hanging hot wire from the deleated heater. thats ittttt.

 

You'll need to add a relay. This one would probably work just fine...Summit Racing SUM-890023 - Summit Racing® Fuel Pump Relays - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Use the hot wire from the old heater as the trigger wire.

 

May as well do the headlight relay upgrade. not too sure how. when the time comes ill ask, but for now i gotta pull the head. may as well do them both right?
check em out? clean carbon build up?
