Blue Spring/ Fuel Drain

So as part of my upgrading my recently purchased previously loved F350. I installed the upgraded water seperator drain. As shown below.

My old one looked like it was steel instead of brass. But I liked the idea of one I could use my hand on. I also went ahead and installed the blue spring upgrade. I won't overload you with pics but I did take this one.

What you are seeing is my new "blue spring" and my old spring next to each other on a slide rule. The blue spring is 32 mm long and the old spring was 30mm long. Since I am not sure how well the blue paint holds up to a diesel bath/soaking I figured the lenght would help people out.

yes folks, i try not to post pics of my member on the internet. there was a restraining order taken out on me to get me to cover up. apparently, i'm prohibited from exposing myself.

in my defense, it aint exposure. it's too darn hot! i'm dying.

the blue spring will make an obvious difference. she wont feel like she's taking her time to kick in.

the upgraded HFCM plug is a whole lot better. my durn transfer case is in the bloody way. dammit. lol.
