I have had the worst time trying to move with a truck recently purchased with 431,000 miles on it, prior law-enforcement truck. Thanks to your videos I have been able to work my way through the issues and obtain the vehicle that I desired when I purchased this one. I have been pulling a 40 foot enclosed trailer from Florida to Illinois, about every two weeks I have to make a trip. After two absolutely miserable trips, I have obtained the truck that I needed when I bought it. Big shout out to you and your instructional videos, as well as to Full force Diesel, and Robert Donaldson from Donaldson diesel in Havana Florida. You have all made my dreams come true of having one bad to the bone four-wheel-drive Ford truck. Thank all of you very much

I know it's been years since you've done this and no longer have the truck but what did you do with the sending unit since you did the billet sump? Took off the screen but didn't show what you did exactly. Do you have to block it off or just take it off and put it back in? I'm about to put in IRATE diesels complete fuel system with their regulated return fuel bowl delete kit and im doing a sump as well. Just looking for some answers on how to rig the sending unit assembly if it's needed. All I'll need from it is just the fuel level but I really don't need anything else on it to function just the float.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I took the screen off but left everything else in as is and just capped off the factory fuel lines. I could’ve probably taken more of it out but didn’t really feel the need to. You’ll want the sending unit to read your fuel level for sure.

Does the sump eliminate the use of all the factory feed lines pickup and pesky filters in the tank? Also would then not need to do a hutch mod kit?

It did perform well for me. I won’t go and say it’s the best system out there cause I haven’t tried the others but I’d say it’s definitely a good system.

[@RX7GSLSEowner]

Ok so I have a question: if you ended up supplying fuel to all four corners of the two heads via the distribution block, how is any fuel being returned to the tank? Or did I miss you stating that you decided to not return any fuel? Thanks!

[@LivingOnWheels]

fuel returns to the tank only from the airdog pressure regulator. From the airdog airless fuel is being supplied at around 60psi. There is no regulated return off the heads.

[@RX7GSLSEowner]

@@LivingOnWheels Ah, ok via the FPR. I was thinking that this was the only option. Well, this video has given me enough pause to consider a fuel bowl delete myself. However I'd like to know more.

Yes, it is now in the video description. Sorry about that I thought I had it there before. As for leaving the pump and lines. Two reasons. 1) I hadn't figured out how I wanted to plug off the old lines yet. 2) This is gonna sound bad but to be completely honest at that point in the project we were just beat and didn't have the motivation to pull the rest of the lines and the pump of the truck. I plan on removing it at some point and have figured out how I want to plug the old lines now. It will probably just be whenever I am down around there next.

I honestly don't quite remember and I no longer have the truck. I just went through the inner fuse panel and used a test lite to find a key on the powered circuit. That being said, if I were to do it again I would just tie into the feed wire on the factory fuel pump. That way it is controlled like the factory pump by the computer.

[@adamrhodes1407]

Great video! Did you have a cost listed? I missed that if so. I'm wondering what the fuel screens/filters looked like down in the tank and the mileage on the truck? Mine is at 129k, but i'd like to clean those screens for peace of mine, especially after pulling the fuel bowl filter when I got it and it was terrible, looked like it had never been changed. If i'm going to drop the tank i'd like to consider doing this mod for the same reasons of not running into fuel bowl issues down the road.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I never actually checked the screens because I’m not using them anyways. And I dont think I included all the pricing in the video. It’s pretty easy to price out on CNC Fabs website though.

[@ZoysiaRUs]

Do you have a link to fuel lines if I wanted to go from the sump to an inline filter and then to the factory pump?

[@LivingOnWheels]

So I'm new and dumb to working on these. My first diesel. 2002 F350. When going to single shot injectors do you need to change programming to run them? If so how?

Yes you will need a programmer. Hit up jelibuilt or 1023 Diesel. Either one of them can set up up with exactly what you need. The hydra tuner is what you’ll be getting with either of their tunes on it.

So you no longer need return line at heads with this setup because Airdog takes care of that and sends back to tank before it gets there?

That’s the theory behind it all. Supply pure fuel going into all 4 corners of the heads and not worry about the pass through and regulated return.

[@dylanharrington2676]

I am stuck between the way you done yours or a regulated return. How are you liking your setup so far?

[@LivingOnWheels]

@@dylanharrington2676 I have been pretty darn happy with it. The plumbing or design hasn't given me a single issue. Few leaking lines/fittings but that was my own fault. I errored on the side of too loose than too tight. The only thing I am still not 100% sure on it the airdog itself. It has been performing pretty darn good but doesn't quite hold pressure as good as I thought it would. Most guys I talk to though say that their pumps hold pressure almost rock solid. I need to check the pump to make sure there's not a bad Oring on the regulator or something. That being said I only see a drop of 3-5 psi at full throttle so it's not like it bad. I am definitely not bashing airdog by any means. I need to do some work on my end before I can truly give a final opinion on the pump. The best part is that is has a full lifetime warranty though. . All in all, I don't think you would be disappointed with this setup. I don't think you would be disappointed with one of the main regulated returns either. I would love to get my hands on Irate's kit at some point in the future.

[@jackonthefarm5540]

I would like a follow-up on the life of the fuel pump. With larger lines you are pumping almost twice the mass of fuel, requiring proportionately more horsepower. Seems to me fuel pump may burn out.

[@LivingOnWheels]

So far the pump seems to be doing well. Large feed line to the pump is important to reduce any restriction on the pump pulling fuel in. Larger return line (pump to tank) shouldn't be any issue because that is simply bleeding off excess aerated fuel. As for the line from the tank to the engine I get what you are saying and I'll explain my thought process. I don't have a regulated return off the heads and so once the fuel lines are at pressure the pump isn't pumping any more fuel than any other setup, simply just what the engine demands. By no means am I am expert on all of this though, but with the reasoning that seams correct in my head the 1/2" line shouldn't be an issue or cause over pumping.

[@jackonthefarm5540]

@@LivingOnWheels I don't follow all of what your system consists of, but just be clear, lots of people don't quite think about pumps correctly. With small suction and discharge lines, a pump moves less mass than with large lines. With small lines and less mass, the pump uses less current and produces less horsepower. With large lines, the pump uses much more current and produces more horsepower. Many people think that less restrictive lines make it easier on the pump. This is the opposite of the truth.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I totally get what you are saying and I appreciate the input. I agree with you about it depending on the setup but the way my system is plumbed, I don't think that is a concern of mine. Mine is not a flow through system at the heads and so the pump isnt constanlty flowing that volume of fuel. With the 1/2'' suction and return lines I simply used the supplied hose the Airdog provided. I know if their is too much restriction on the suction line then the pump works harder to pull it in. Thanks for providing you input. Like I said, by no means am I an expert on this. I just set it up the best way I knew how based on the system I chose and the research I have done. I am not sure if this is the final setup I will end up with or not. Time will tell.

[@theezeelife292]

That's a pretty good setup. Very clean install. I do have a question or two for you. Bear in mind, I'm speaking from an off-road perspective (I wheel my vehicles). Is there a way to replace the fuel lines up on top of the fuel tank? That bottom sump sits very low and I'm sure I'd scrape that on an obstacle and destroy it. I don't get too extreme, but it does happen from time to time. Is there a way to mount the fuel pump and filter system higher? Again, speaking from an off-road perspective. Again, great build and good job on the video.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Thanks man. You could totally mount the lines up top and use a big draw straw type setup. Or put a skid plate under the fuel tank. The pump itself is actually far up there. You be hitting a lot of you managed to hit the pump. Pump with a custom bracket I’m sure it could go a little bit higher. Not a ton though. It’s already pretty close to the bed.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Honestly I have no idea. I don't see why a fuel system would give you any issues because it has nothing to do with emissions, but I know they can be pretty stingy about things needing to look stock. Californias laws are so wacky though, I cant say for sure.

Did you notice any difference when u were done

[@LivingOnWheels]

With the 4 line feed kit and the oil crossover the engine definitely ran smoother.

[@fatfairlane]

Any oil temp difference or fuel economy gain or loss

[@LivingOnWheels]

Nope you won’t see those kind of gains with systems like this. This is for supporting larger injectors, better filtration, and for getting rid of the stock fuel bowl in the valley.

@@LivingOnWheels I was asking cause I'm gonna be running 180/30 injectors with a adrenaline hpop

[@LivingOnWheels]

313dieselguy a healthy stock pump might be able to supply those. I’d recommend just getting a fuel pressure gauge and see. If it drops too much pressure then you can upgrade the fuel system

Ford recommends spraying the returned fuel, Not just returning to bottom of tank. This stops the fuel from gumming. Argue with Ford engineers not me.

[@LivingOnWheels]

You may be right but the factory sending unit returns the fuel to almost the exact same place as the sump does. So I’m not worried about it.

[@SeymourBalz]

@@LivingOnWheels it's the temperature. Returning fuel is say 180° spraying the fuel disapates the temp..not leaving a warm pool. Again..it's not me...it's Ford.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I totally get that and it makes sense. What I’m saying is Ford has the fuel returning near the bottom of the tank from the factory. So even they aren’t spraying it.

[@SeymourBalz]

@@LivingOnWheels ok... All I know is what Ford training techs say.. I'm not sure if it's still sprayed... submerged.(?) Second though.... A larger return..would lower pressure in the regulator...as it's received less back pressure to evacuate unused fuel. (?)

[@LivingOnWheels]

A larger return shouldn’t effect the pressure regulator as it’s operated on a mechanical spring not based on the return line pressure. A line that’s too small might have negative effect though
