fuel filter base pump supply fitting

Hello everyone, Been awhile since I have been on.

Does anyone have a source the the fitting on the filter base where the supply line to the pump and the bleed line hooks up? It's the elbow with a nipple made on it.

Yeah, the older version. The base has just the in and out and a port for the shrader valve. A lot of guys just plug off or put a fitting in that doesn't have the bleed/over flow line that goes to the return lines system. I am switching my 92 over to the old base but I am missing the elbow with the bleed line. I like having the bleed line on. It keeps any air from being forced into the pump. Thanks

IF you needed a check Valve I posted the PN for it and I also posted a link to one that could work =====>>> https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-question.html

That was the exact reason these engines were originally designed with that in there, it makes priming a ton easier if you run out of fuel.

However due to leaky return caps letting the supply drain back to the tank through that little hose it got a bad rep and they said to block it through a tsb.

Its your rig so I definitely say go with what you think will work best for you. I doubt that fitting is still available, ebay may have one. If not a junkyard will if you can find a 6.9

right and after the TSB ford started using a check valve instead of just an orifice to solve the issue. I just researched all this not too long ago too

I wondered if it was still made. The IH number for the base was 1801129C1. I came across the entire base plus fittings a little while back but can't remember where or how I found it. It wasn't that long ago. It was with new fittings. I blew it off because I have a base. I will get with my navistar dealer and see what my parts guy can find.

@ lonestar. I did consider making one or putting in a T and tweeking my supply line.

A lot of trouble to save 12 bucks on a filter. lol.. I have switched my 94 over to the old base so its less filters to keep on the shelf.

Ya know I just might have a couple of those elbow`s with the bleed line fitting.
I changed the hard line to the IP to push lock hose, changed the fitting on the
IP also.

If you send me your info I will mail you one of those elbow fittings....Now where did
I put those fittings...?

I have been digging around too. I have some Pushlok hose. That is a good idea. Best all around hose ever made.
