So I believe this is the stuff that was referenced for our diesel application.

Hopefully Big Adventure will chime in.


Looks like this can be used with diesel also but is ethanol gas rated as well.

Rectorseal #5 is rated for all of this. I was in the Pipe Fitting Industry back in the early 90's and that is all we used.



Only spec I can't find is the temperature range.

At least we all know what to use now instead of Teflon tape. Learning this stuff as I go, seeing it listed as being a potential problem for a diesel injection system on that site Big A linked to, it's surprising that the SPE guys wouldn't have recommended a diesel rated thread sealant instead of using the tape which could be a problem for the modern injectors.

The PLS-2 looks like good stuff. Soft set, diesel rated. Rector seal #5 also looks good too. Stir them before you use them. Mix the oil that’s on top back into it. Don’t get these products on your clothes. It wont come out.

Just read a update today for a new DPK from S&S. I installed the original kit last year and went with it since it is carb compliant and the designer of the kit not a copier. They has announced a new designed kit and for those of us with the original kit the return 2 micron filter part of the kit is going to be available soon . Hate to spend more money but it should prevent trash going back to the fuel tank so I less thing to clean if the CP4 goes out. More Overkill but I like to do that anyways!

From email I get from S&S:


NEW PRODUCT PREVIEW




GEN2 6.7L POWER STROKE CP4 BYPASS KIT
Brownstown, IN – S&S Diesel Motorsport, the creator of the original CP4 bypass kit for the 6.7 Power Stroke, is at it again with a much-improved second generation kit. Since its debut in 2016, the original S&S 6.7 Power Stroke CP4 Bypass Kit has saved thousands of injectors from CP4 debris. In fact, it works so well that it has been copied by multiple opportunists within the aftermarket. Being a company founded by fuel system engineers, S&S Diesel Motorsport has the ability, and responsibility, to offer the best solutions to fuel system problems. While the original bypass kit offers really good protection from a CP4 failure, the last four years have given the S&S engineers plenty of time to discover and eliminate potential problems.

The S&S Diesel Motorsport Gen2 6.7 Power Stroke CP4 Bypass Kit will feature all quick connect lines that will eliminate the need for cutting the factory supply line, which is a debris introduction point, especially if the cut is not thoroughly deburred. It also eliminates the need to use a compression fitting, which is a potential leak point. The OE-style quick connect lines also eliminate any threaded joints that are further leak points and have the potential of generating debris during install.

The main task of both kits is to supply the CP4 case and the metering unit/plungers independently with clean, filtered fuel, and to reroute case fuel back to the tank. There are two major improvements in how the Gen2 kit accomplishes it. The Gen2 fuel supply is split off into two separate lines 25 inches from the CP4, which will eliminate the chance of contaminated case fuel back-feeding into the clean fuel supply line. The original bypass kit splits off within an inch of the pump, and is more susceptible to debris back-feeding, if the CP4 failure produces enough debris to clog the fuel return system. The other improvement is what happens to the debris when it exits the pump case. The Gen2 kit features a 2-micron filter in a clear firewall-mounted housing that prevents debris from reaching the tank, fuel lines, and supply pump. It can be visually inspected at a glance for debris, which will give notice to a failed pump. Previously, unfortunate victims of a CP4 failure, with the good fortune of having an original bypass kit installed, would still need to drop the tank and deal with all of the debris created by the failed CP4.

One would think that major improvements would come at a major price increase. Having a clear understanding of common rail diesel fuel systems, and decades of OE engineering experience, enabled the engineers at S&S to make improvements without increasing production costs. Thanks to efficient design and use of material, the S&S Diesel Motorsport Gen2 6.7L Power Stroke CP4 Bypass Kit delivers much more value than the original, for an affordable price of $400.00 USD.

For those looking to improve the debris management of their first-generation bypass kit, the S&S Fuel Return Filter Assembly can be purchased separately for $160.00 USD.

The improved Gen2 6.7 Power Stroke Bypass Kits are expected to be available for purchase from S&S Dealers at the beginning of 2021.

Thanks for posting up. I got the email also but didn't see it until fritz mentioned this kit in his new thread and I went to search for it. It looks awesome.
