No.8 fuel delivery ?
Great forum. Thinking about a '99-03 7.3 to pull a bobcat. I read there are problems with fule delivery at No. 8 due to an engineering flaw. Any experience with this? Is there a fix that won't cost an arm and a leg? This engine would be much better than a 6.0, yes? Thanks

The best fix for the fuel rail is the full regulated return

Ya best bet would be to give Clay from Riffraff diesel a yell. He can fix you up.

Welcome to FTE!!
Great question and these guys already got you on the right track.
It's not necessarily a problem, until you do some custom tunes and/or bigger injectors. The #8 injector fires directly after #6. Fuel for that side of the engine is supplied from the front of the block, so when #6 fires, it can leave a "void" of fuel for the #8 injector when it fires. Ford's "band-aid" for the issue was a long-lead injector. But the best fix is as mentioned above with a CCK or even better the regulated return.
