I still can't pm anyone

 

FTE up dates every 15 or 20 minutes..you may need to sighn off and back on in about a 1/2 hour...

 

That's good info Ron. I hadn't heard of the lack of fuel issue before. I'd send some reps, but I have to spread them around first.

 

thanks Chris...from what i gather its only a problem when your up to 500 HP range,,,under that its a matter of keeping the fuel cool for better performance.....

 

Are there any volume issues with the stock pump over 500? Seems like a second feed to the back of the head (possibly from a second pump) would do more than drilling out the fitting in the front of the heads.

What kind of gains can be had with cooler fuel? I would have thought it would be small, since everything else heats up too.

 

most of them guy's are running the fass or air dog with there set up.i dont think the stock pump could handle it for very long....drilling the fitting gives you more volume..dennis of ITP hasnt finished testing on heat...its still in the air... dave said in his test..fuel temps never really went up with a flow through..it stays close to out side temps by the the time it makes it back to the pump for a second time......so he never tested for getting it cooler...his testing was for flow rate for better power..in the test going into the back of both center holes was the best gains...but setting it up to work with the down pipe there was very hard to do...

 

i dont see how removing the spring in the fuel bowl and taping out the ports could hurt. But if ur looking at improving fuel do kwiks mod diffently a big improvement.

 

thats a great mod for getting the fuel to the bowl....the other mods are for more flow and less restriction to the injectors...

 

If I ever buy another Powerstroke, the very first thing that I will do is to move the pump to the tank.
Before gauges, exhaust, all that.
It's the best mod of all.

 

I will be trying these mods out when i get home and do my next fuel filter change. PLus i wonder if i have any crud built up in the ports as i have heard some have crud or sludge build up ... we will see ...hopefully i will be ordering the cck from dinofuelalternatives maybe i could take care of all this at the same time ....

 

Same here kwik ... i forgot to mention that the bosch pump worked out better then the walbro ...plus it came with lifetime warranty from advance auto ...

 

KWIKK ?? will that pump feed 400 HP ?? i love the idea..when my stock pump goes i will go that rout if it could handle it...

 

Sweet.
I don't know the answer to that one.
What I can tell you is it is designed to flow 30 gpm at 70 psi.
It certainly is good enough for what I need it for.
STRONG power even in stock tune, pulling a big hill at WOT with the trailer in tow.

 

All I know is after hearing about the Aeromotive problems, I hope I got a freak pump, because its going on 8 months, still no signs of failure. Before doing some of the fuel pressure modification remember unless you are dropping below lets say 50PSI you wont notice a difference(I think after 40PSI its easily felt, after 30 PSI it damaging). You need to first monitor the pressure, you can shim all day long, if your fuel pressure is still dropping low, you are not going to a bit of improvement. The sweet spot I found is just like what others have found 62PSI.

Even if the stock pump can't hold 400HP, you could always add a second pick-up and add a second stock pump, now you have twice the flow. Run that to a filter base just afterwards that has a dual input. Then out of the base you can run what line you want. If I would have thought of this earlier that is what I would have done. Instead I got a pump that is more than likely going to eat itself(nice to have on my mind all the time). The stock pump was proved on my truck to 170K+ miles, that is proven enough for me. Now you have plenty of fuel to feed. Then adding in the regulated return, you are now done. When I pull this motor out, I will be changing my fuel supply at the top of the motor, but I have not figured out what I want to do yet.

 

thanks guy's both pumps drawing from the same pick up tube??? or do you need to make another??? i like Kwikks idea....but i want one pump with a good supply and i want to sump my tank for it...this will keep the pump in the fuel when close to empty and if a problem does happen..i just got to pull the sump and not the hole tank...

John....are you playing with your avitar ???? or is it my old age??? lol
