Ah this may be a dumb question but not to long ago I changed out my fuel filter and drained the fuel bowl because the wif light had come on a couple times before but would turn off when I shut it down and turn it back on.( this happed a couple of time maybe three times) After I changed out filter and drained fuel bowl it didn't come on until now but it went away once I turned it off and back on. Is there a separate water fuel separator somewhere else and I just missed it? Thanks guys.

 

Just one water in fuel sensor and it is in the fuel bowl.

I always add a section of tubing to the fuel bowl drain that is long enough to reach a bottle on the ground. That way, I can collect and inspect the contents of the fuel bowl.

If the light is coming on and there is no water present, the sensor is malfunctioning. I've see filter housings with a couple inches of sediment in the bottom (covering the heater/sensor) - that could certainly cause issues...

Many people unplug the heater/sensor since a shorted out heater kills the PCM fuse. I recommend draining the fuel bowl at least at every oil change for good measure.

Be sure to cycle the key on for 30-40 secs 2-3 times before starting the truck to purge the air out of filter.

 

Hey my buddy of mine has a few extra fuel filters left over from when he owned a 2006 6.0 he now has the 6.7 and I was wondering if I could use the filters from the 6.0 in my 7.3. he has no use for them so he said I could have them if they work for my truck. I have a feeling that they simply don't due to the engines being different but maybe I'll get lucky and they will fit and work fine. Anyone from Ford on here have an idea if this will work? Thank guys

 

Nope.

 

Darn, thanks man. I've got my oil change this weekend so I was going to swap out the fuel filter and rotate my tires at the same time. Now I need to track down a Ford motor sports filter.

 

Hey I've been mulling over the idea of doing an engine bay clean out so I can see if there are any future leaked of any type and I've come across a bunch of suggestions to clean the ebvp sensor and tube will help increase my mileage. I'm currently getting 13.7 according to my trucks monitoring system. I'm interested in doing the simple fixes to help get better mileage but I don't want to do anything that would be bad for the truck. It's my daily driver and work truck so I don't want something to go wrong. What do you guys think? Thanks.

 

If you haven't cleaned it out for a while, or if ever, it is definitely worth doing. Pretty simple, maybe 20 min job, some carb clean and some weed whacker line, a couple of wrenches, done!

 

I'll have to look up a video and do this. I doubt it has ever been done before with the lack of maintenance done by the previous owner. I've put alot of money into the beast since owning it. Will doing this clean out increase performance in throttle response, turbo spool or fuel mileage?

 

As part of my moderate build here I'm really just looking to build a really good work truck. I a carpenter/construction by trade so on and off I haul material and tow a dump trailer. What would be good to get my truck "truck in" as a work truck. Thanks guys as all ways your responses are always appreciated.
