Powerstroke 6.0 HFCM and Pressure Regulator - How They Work and Repairs

It's a 2 bag popcorn, 2 liter Coke video. It got away from me.

Any professional that works on these engines needs to watch this video. Without a doubt, the most informative and educational video I've ever seen on a fuel system component.

[@aaronwright561]

This video breakdown actually makes me appreciate the design more and not consider it just a crappy old filter assembly.

I wish the fuel filters weren’t so expensive. Plus there are Chinese made counterfeits all over the internet. Also when you remove the cover you must plug all the fuel lines or the fuel can siphon out of the tank until your tank is empty.

I really appreciate your thoughtful, detailed breakdown of this pump. I recently bought a 2004 50k from original owner. Learning so much from your videos and few more highly knowledgeable folks like yourself.. Thank you so much. May lord always bless this country and people like yourself that share their knowledge. Oh Lord how lucky, blessed I am to be admitted to this great country.

If i only had a fraction of the knowledge this guy has, ill be the best mechanic in the country.

Note new fuel in tank as well

After changing my filters from vehicle sitting for 2 years the vehicle ran great for a few miles but then ran like s*** after like no fuel pressure at all

Thanks for the help in understanding some of my fuel system on my Ford 6.0 engine I am relatively new to Diesel engines and trying to educate myself as much as I can. Your video is well done and has helped me very much... God bless and keep you...

Poppet seat is backwards 45 angle goes to popped shuttle or filter housing

[@jonsmith5460]

What can cause the pump from building pressure? New fuel regulator, new pump ( regular housing), New filters and fuel tank draw sump is good, any ideas would help

[@22howards]

Yet another well thought out presentation! Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the time you put into educating the rest of us on our trucks. You are to be commended for all your work. I haven't had fuel problems yet on my 03 (175,00 miles) but i do monitor it. It stays between 62-65 lbs usually. This makes me want to take the cover off the side of mine and clean it out. I do notice when I change my filters that the inside of my secondary filter bowl is always dirty. Makes me wonder why it is pretty much black on the walls of it. I buy all my fuel from a reputable truck stop in our area. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to share all your 6.0 infinite wisdom! It is much appreciated and very thorough.

[@robertheath6293]

Absolutely the most informative detailed video concerning the 98-04 6.0 powerstroke HCFM. The insert pamphlet that comes with the filters doesn't come close. What a difference it made I had a couple of things off replaced the pump didn't remove the filter when I installed the new pump it didn't line up with the teeth thereby semi crushing 1 side and the air weep hole wasn't at 12 o'clock so never fully purged the air causing hesitation and rough idle. Also had the little brass piece in the water separator installed backwards thereby not circulating the fuel and warming it. But the correction from this video woke my truck up unbelievably.

Best and most thorough video on a critical component of the 6.0 diesel. You have boldly gone into detail that that few if any have gone before! Outstanding work! Thank you. Installing a fuel pressure gauge just moved to the top of my 2006 F-350 action list.

[@hydrotekone5193]

Awesome video, always was curious just how this HFCM worked -- thanks for the in-depth explanation

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

This makes the FSM look like an afterthought. Wow the detail explained in this is beyond what I could have ever expected.

[@Itsa_Mea]

Thanks for all your work & dedication to helping others. Great job on the revision.

[@madnessmaker6162]

Have to say I knew mostly about how the hfcm works(from personally disassembling my own unit on my 6.4), but your in depth explainiton of all the details is the best video on here to date. 👍 Info worth it weight in gold to many dealing with issues . Great work!👊

[@wolfyklaus4837]

Thank you this is probably the best tutorial video I have seen so far of the 6.0 fuel system and I learn something when changing the lower fuel filter in the pump housing I always sprayed out the housing with carburetor cleaner and I pretty much thought I got everything clean now I see and realize I am leaving crap in the cavity for the water separation. In this business you have to learn something new everyday I went to school for auto and Diesel at Lincoln Technical Institute Philadelphia graduated in 1981 I was just 20 thanks to people like you I run a successful business for 40 years and you just taught a old dog a new trick you will not and cannot make it as a mechanic if you don't learn something new everyday
