My last name is "king"...... just clarifying it. Wanted a way to separate mine from everyone elses. Why don't guys do build threads on this site???

Either way, here is my E-fuel....

The truck is a regular cab, cab chassis. So no room on the drivers side frame between the transfer case and the fuel tank.



So I decided to put everything on the passenger side frame rail since there was plenty of room.


I was originally going to use just one SD pump (from a 99 truck), but decided to use 2 SD pumps. So I found the pumps and frame brackets. The one bracket needed to be sandblasted and painted. The other was in way better shape.




This pic shows that I mounted the pumps on the inside of the frame, no plate/bracket thing like you see everyone else doing. Also, shows the prefilter with heater and the second filter, mounted on a piece of 2inch angle iron bolted to the top of the frame.


Here's a picture of the second pump mounted. Also wire wheeled the frame, primed and painted.




Here is a picture of the stock fuel fittings with new hose crimped on. The suction lines were 30r7 and the pressure lines were 30r9



Kind of a big jump in the process, but here's a complete picture of the frame goodies.

 

I know there is a lot I didn't take pictures of, so I'll take more when I'm at the shop tomorrow.

Now onto the top of the motor.
I did the "tightwad" version of this. I cut up the stock FPR instead of spending $150+ on the regulator and fittings.



I also ordered the O-ring boss adapter for the stock banjo bolt.





Also did the 7/8's freeze plug thing. Someone posted a part number for a ford freeze plug for this location, but this worked fine.

 

The electrical part of this was intense. I'll have to take more pictures.

 

Good write up, looks like it turned out nice. Are you happy with it so far?

 

Yeah I'm happy with it.

Some things I would change. Have the pumps wired so they only come on with oil pressure, keeps them off while the "Wait to Start" light is on. Also find some check valves for the pressure side of the pumps. I pulled the fuse for one of the pumps to see what the pressure would do, it dropped to 55psi. But I think it's because it was back feeding through the dead pump. With both pumps on, it pushes 65+ psi. Thats with no FPR BB shim.

 

Good job Mr. King!

 

Great pics!

So since you retained the stock banjo bolt did you have to run any new lines to the heads and do a new return line? Or did the stock ones stay in place?

 

Kept all the factory lines. I had limited time for this conversion, so to remove the turbo and get back to those fittings and redo everything would have been too much. Plus, the electrical was fun too, so that added a lot of time. I have to take pics of the electrical. It's very clean and factory looking. The return back to the tank switch is also factory.

I'm going to 160cc 80% injectors, so I think this will be plenty even with the stock lines.

 

When I did mine I left my stock lines intact but not used anymore.

 

Great write up and pictures, look forward to the rest of the pictures. How much did it cost you in the end?

 

x2 and would you happen to have a complete parts list? At least part numbers for the filters, fittings, and banjo bolt adapter. And where in the fuel system does the pump/filters go? Is it between the tanks and selector valve or what? I really want e-fuel but am still learning it and trying to lower the cost as much as possible.

 

I'm interested in how much power it'll hold up to with the stock lines still in place...

I'd like to see a parts list and prices as well. Especially for the banjo bolt adapter.

 

Cale Thompson blew a block into 3 pieces at 100psi boost using stock size fuel lines on the motor...

 

I'll get all that info organized in the next couple days. I'm in the process of finishing my intercooler piping, 3inch intake plenums and new turbo.

 

That's good enough for me... I just want electric fuel that's cheap and easy to build. And re-using the stock banjo fitting and return lines would make it a lot easier.

Sounds good. It would be great to have a parts list and prices for everything.
