My mechanical fuel pump that is only 2 years old has gone out. I will start by saying that I run almost exclusively B100. I really hate to deal with changing it again. Should I go with a Dieselsite CPR, which I know would be tops. But to save money could I install a FASS, Airdog, or perhaps a Raptor fuel pump (Raptor Fuel Pump Kit 94-03 Ford Powerstroke Diesel 7.3). And would it be possible to adapt one of these to a fuel bowl delete system?

The Dieselsite is expensive at $1300 and not availalbe until the middle/end of June, so I am just considering options.

Also, if I went the DIY route, what model Aeromotive fuel regulator would I have to use.

 

Here is some info I found last night. Airdog is making a new pump (Airdog II) for 1994 - 2003 Powerstrokes that is adjustable for pressure and makes 75 lbs of pressure. It is $599.00 and includes the bracket, relay and wiring, and hoses. One advertisement says that it can be used in place of the lift and high pressure pump.

I think I can do the fuel bowl delete portion of these 2 DIY articles and install the Airdog much cheaper than buying a regulated return system of OBS trucks. Especially when you figure the cost of running around to gather parts and fabrication.

The only rub is that it might be necessary to buy an Aereomotive pressure regulator to insure proper pressure at the heads.

If anyone has any thoughts or thinks of something I may have missed, please let me know.

Thanks
