Here you go. The 9100 goes in the engine oil, and
6200 is a fuel treatment. You need to at least get a 16 oz jug of 9100, as you add 1 oz per qt of oil.

Archoil

Riffraff Diesel Performance - Search Results for "blue spring ford fuel pressure kit"

the first 2 items are blue spring kits. One with cover, one without. The kit with cover also has "something I can't remember" included. I think it's the plastic piece.

sorry, just woke up and groggy...

Use FIMOCO or name brand?

I have fuel leak on side of filter.

Seems like a good time to upgrade to the blue spring.

Is there enough difference between the generic or FOMOCO for 20$ and the Sinister or Bullet proof for 75 to spend the extra money?

As for your leak, likely the crush (or seal) washers at the banjo (supply side on 2004 and above or a ORFS (oring faced) on 2003), feeds (ORFS) heading to the cylinder heads or that return line (least likely of the candidates)..... there are two orings on the ORFS connections (a small and a larger oring) and always replace with Viton................I also use a quality thread sealant as backup protection -- preferably high temp or the aviation variants....

Thanks!
I’m ordering a midrange priced one.

Kit includes the o-ring for the inlet line, which I was suspecting. The leak is definitely on that side of the filter.

I recommend ordering it through a Ford house (like White Bear Lake) to be sure it's a real Motorcraft, as opposed to Amazon, which is becoming more like a Chinese market by the day.
