I don’t think I’d call it a mod in the terms of tweaking what’s there. You’re taking out the old fuel delivery system and putting in a whole new one.
I put in the strictly efuel system and I think we said “this is top quality stuff, so much better and why didn’t we do it before” about 100 times.
On the efuel system there are less failure points and it has the benefit of simplifying the valley - especially if you’re looking to add an IC or anything like that.
Quality parts are quality parts so you can work to get a setup built like Hitman or buy an out of the box setup.
My original fuel bowl and mechanical pump never broke so it’s totally not needed but It’s an upgrade in my mind.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

I just ordered the Irate Diesel efuel kit. I ordered a new billet turbo cartridge today also. I'm waiting on up pipes and my EBPV deleted ped and efuel kit before I can do much more. Tomorrow I'm going to start all the drive shaft u-joints.

Over the last several years I have done a lot of mods to my ‘95 F-350. Some for power and towing heavy loads through the mountains (HPOP, injectors, turbo rebuild, intercooler, etc.), and some just ‘cause. The two best mods I made for just day-to-day driveability were an e-fuel system and a high energy starter. These two virtually removed ALL of my old cold-weather starting problems. I have a fuel heater added to my fuel system (Dieselsite CPR), which also came with an impact sensor and an oil pressure sensor for fuel pump shutoff. I installed a dash switch to allow priming the fuel system after a filter change. I do STRONGLY recommend carrying a spare of each filter in the fuel system. Some are not readily available on a Friday evening on the road. I paid $400 for a tow after getting some bad-fuel. I knew what was wrong, but couldn’t find the $12 filter anywhere. Had one sitting in my barn. Lesson learned.

There aren't any tank filters. There are what we refer to as shower heads, which is really just a metal strainer to prevent large debris to get through. Those shower heads should stay on the pickup to ensure you get all the fuel in the tank, and that you don't fill your filter up with crud.

Starter: You might check the forums for recommendations. The Nippon Denso style is the one I got. You can get them at Rock Auto, or Amazon, usually. It looks considerably different from the stock starter and is a two-bolt unit, even though the OEM was a three bolt design. It is a direct fit, and a big improvement. Some of the Denso knockoffs get mixed reviews.

Fuel tank: you might google the “hutch fuel tank mod.” It deletes the mixing chamber and the mesh filters you pictured. It also opens the fuel pipe opening in the foot to 3/8” and deletes the screen on the foot. Because it deletes all the intank filters, you should add an inline filter (pre-pump) that is frame mounted. Now you can clean or replace the filter without dropping the tanks. Much more convenient and much freer fuel flow. RiffRaff Diesel and Driven Diesel have parts kits available for the mod. Also have inline filter assemblies.
