parts deleated off truck... winters coming.
I live in upstate NY, maybe hits 0f here but uasually 30's...
there is no fuel heater on my 6.8 or water seperator. what kinda trouble am i lookin at? |
I don't have the fuel heater hooked up, and I deleted the original 6.9L water separator for a fuel filter with a drain screw on the bottom. Never any issues in SE WI and we get below 0 in January. And come to think of it I've never drained my fuel filter yet.. maybe I should do that once :)
|
Okk, how do you do that? draining the filter? change it? also where can i get diesel kleen cheap?
|
I got a filter from Napa that had a small thumbscrew on the bottom to drain water out. I switched to a 7.3L filter head so I can't give you the part number of mine as the 6.9 and 7.3 filter heads are different. I usually buy my diesel kleen at Wal Mart, but some other guys might have cheaper sources.
|
im kinda looking for a 7.3 head so id have a heater.
|
Your 6.9L heater went bad I take it?
|
PO removed it, i just got the truck. it was like an abused puppy that i took in.. pulled 1 champion gp and 2 diffrent kinds of autolites..
|
You can get a fuel filter heater that wraps around the actual filter. F250 has a link for it. I would wire it in with a relay and use the old heater wire to toggle the relay. There are a lot of fuel heaters out there. Try googling it and see what comes up. You probably don't want one that uses coolant as a heat source as it relies on the engine to be warm before it is effective.

Something like this:
WOLVERINE FUEL FILTER HEATER / DIESEL/BIO FUEL HEATER 12 VOLT 50 WATT NEW | eBay |
i got my 85fl oz bottle of winter blend diesel kleen from walmart for ~$25.
|

Use the hot wire from the old heater as the trigger wire. |
