Low pressure fuel pump replacement video?

Howdy gents,

Getting ready to replace the LPFP in my 2012 F350...does anyone have a reference for the process? Thanks in advance!

Also doing fuel filters and an oil change while I'm already all dirty.

Am I missing something? Why would replacing the LPFP on the 6.7 require dropping the fuel tank?

Yes, the one by the DFCM...any replacement guides you know of? I didn't realize there was another pump in the tank...why is that?

The DFCM does not contain a fuel pump,, it mainly the fuel filter and water separator. The fuel pump is in the tank and has been for many years on most all cars and trucks, gas and diesel now that they are fuel injected.

I am curious as to why you would want to replace it? Has it given any problems?

Guys there is NO fuel pump in the fuel tank. I am certain of this.
DFCM is the only low Press pump. The basket in the fuel tank, has some check valves in the bottom of it and a suction tube and a return tube. Only other thing in there is the sender for the fuel gauge on the dash.
Hope this helps.

Pump is in the housing with the primary fuel filter. Ain't nothing in the tank.

The low pressure pump will be in the tank for the 2017s though.

Key your truck on and have a listen at the DFCM.

It's been getting progressively louder over the past month or so...as soon as I turn the key on now it's a very loud high pitched buzz. Trying to preempt a failure by replacing on my timeline.

Fuel

I have noticed on my 350 2012 that the lpfp is louder depending on where I get fuel and when the filter change was. When was that last time you changed fuel filters? What mileage do you have on your truck?

I bought it right at 100k, and it has about 109k now...I'll try swapping the filters first to see if that makes a difference.

Inspect the old filter

Look for crystals or metal. They will be pretty small so take a good look. Did you get any warranty with the truck?
