Ona 7.3 its right in the valley, if yours has the factory cover on it, it flips up and right there it it, its a big circular bowl in the middle of the engine. Not to far in front of the Turbo. Hope this helped. And I run ATF flued threw my truck, it cleaned it out, also gummed up my filter lol. But that power service stuff they sell, for diesel's, its amazing also I run it all the time.

It is, just when you take it out it may take a few cranks before it starts cause its refilling the bowl. It may not. Just hope it helps ya.

its awesome you can use it in gas or diesel to clean out the whole fuel system , also you can dump a can in the crankcase run it for 15 minutes and change the oil it will clean most of the sludge out .. rural king walmart and autozone sells it for 7 bucks a can or by the gallon

the great thing is it's completely petroleum product... no added alcohols or weird chemicals.
