Checking the fuel pickup food

In another forum, I had just posted this and thought it would be good universally.

With the higher incidence of the fuel pick up foot failures that seem to be occurring on several forums, an inspection of the part might be a good idea. We can do this by taking off the fuel and vent hoses in the frame to bed cavity area, then with a very low fuel tank level, use a cell phone borescope to check its condition.

The hoses will be well adhered to the barb, as it was the last time I took my tank out. I used a cotter pin pic to work the hoses loose while spraying LPS1 in the gap.

Why couldn't you slip the borescope down the filler neck without removing it?

I wasn't considering if our diesel trucks did not have an anti-siphon barrier.

My 2004.5 has no barrier. I siphoned the fuel out of my tank before changing my foot

Right now my pain level is to the point of very shallow thinking, my only excuse. But we should be checking these things the way they are going away, the point.

Yes we should be checking these. And a damn good reason to buy a borescope! At least if you aren't planning to put in a sump anytime soon.

Thats a nice one with the zoom function, thanks Russ. With the size of the lens you can't go down the injector hole.

Right now I have two, but I'll put that into my wishlist.
