Further Filtering Fuel In A Ford F250 7.3 Diesel - Project F2Hooptie

[@rockporttigger7138]

PTFE Teflon Tape is not the correct product for fuel line thread. Diesel will eat it and it can get in your fuel. The Yellow Gas version is for NG/LP gas not liquid fuel rated, so don't use that either. Use Permatex which comes in a variety of types for anything that act like a solvent or fuel. Otherwise yes, and I use quick connects on hoses and valves to kill each side of my filters, pumps, X & Y connectors for duel and aux tanks to flip'em out without fuel, or other dumping all over. Good suggestion. $20 filter or $1500 injectors, yea, no brainer.Recommend change them regularly, cut them open and see what's up on every change. . .

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Great info. Thanks!!

In addition, I installed a tee between the fuel pump and the filter you installed. 1/8 copper line up to a vacuum gauge in the cab to let me know when it’s time to replace the filter.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Ok, now that's good idea!

[@shayoneill]

i did the same thing, works like a charm.

[@JLCmike4014]

Guess that’ll be one of the next modifications to do on my ‘99 F-350. That and also a coolant filter system. Just a tip, put some grease on the filter o-ring so it seals better and also makes the filter come off easy the next time you go to change it.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Nice, easy mod. Cheap insurance too!

[@silvergrizzly316]

Looks good 👍 I'll bring my 2000 F350 7.3l by tomorrow for this mod😄

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

LOL

[@Mikepalmer6]

Just finished up this mod on my 99 f250. Thank you for the awesome detailed video. I appreciate all the content you put out.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Cool, glad to h elp!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great addition and instruction...and thank you for relocating the Emer Brake cable above the filter housing.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, it was bugging me.

[@richardbarkley9909]

Really should completely remove the in-tank screens with the installation of the spin on filter.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Previously done

[@kevinmurphy3464]

Clean fuel and clean oil will ensure 500,000 plus miles on that motor.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

That's my thinking too.

[@mmcdonald9072]

Good idea for my 01 f350 . Gotta love them 7.3's

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Right on

[@mcleanuniform22]

Cheap and efficient. Love it.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks!

My '02 7.3L Excursion has had a Wix24006 prefilter on it for many years, it used to be a Fire Chief's battalion car.... the hoses on it are well into their "old age" obviously, and to the NaySayers that a 10 Micron filter is bad, that filter has lots of Surface Area, it has not been a problem, ever. I will replace it with the Water Drain version next time. We "Discovered" the 24006 fuel filter when we installed the Fuel Sump, and intended to install a Racor Marine glass type fuel filter with drain.... phooey on that, the Wix is already there.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

It should be all the filtration we'll ever need.

[@Yukonjackman1]

I run a filter on my radiator cooler system also.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, I think i'm going to do a video on that too.

[@jmstew642]

What the inside diameter of the hoses used?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

3/8" I believe

[@zupcompany]

What are your thoughts on adding a Cat 1R-0750 fuel instead of a water separator. Do you think there would be an issues there or is the WIX 33405 the ideal filter for this application

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Should be fine.

[@indiancreekfarms3011]

I want to do that to my 2011 f250 6.7 and my 2002 f350 7.3

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Easy modification for sure.

[@egochecker]

I just bought a e350 220k miles. I just changed the fuel filter it had 1/2 of junk in the bottom of the res.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, that's pretty common. This filter will fix that.

[@davidlampe4153]

Nice video thank you for your work.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks!

[@robertmartin442]

awesome video

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks for the visit

[@harrypersaud9422]

Great video sir

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks!

[@mattdarst6485]

Did you use 3/8 ID hose?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I think it was.

[@todell7008]

Great point about larger farm equipment (and commercial trucks) utilizing dual filtration. And the fact that it's biblical? Well, psshh! Who can argue?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yep, right up there with "Thou shalt not have dirty fuel".

[@michaelminer2008]

Where did u get the idi shirt at.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

They are my own creation.Check my KZbin store. I have them available.

[@TheMoparGarage]

The more filtration the better! If it wasn’t, FASS, Airdog, etc. systems wouldn’t have 2 filters.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

My thinking too!

[@mrbmd710]

Looks good what size bolts did you use to hold the filter base on to the frame?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

"bout that big" 😂 Honestly, I dug through the Big Bolt Box and found some mismatched junk from another project. 5/16 and a washer will work fine.

[@mrbmd710]

Cool thx !@@ProjectTimeGarage

[@RaizARukis]

How many feet of hose did you use?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Not much, less than 3' I'd guess.

[@deewinn1842]

What fuel line hose did you use?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Just some 3/8 fuel hose I had in stock.

[@pablorosales6457]

How’s it holding up?! Any leaks, or issues due to the inline filter?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

No problems. I've done this to all my diesel equipment. My other truck has about 100K miles on it since doing this.

[@codybose515]

Do you happen to know what size of hose you used? Id rather find it before i have fuel dumping and try to shove the wrong size hose over it😂

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Maybe 3/8? I think that's what I used. I have a "big box of hose ends" that I dug it out of.

[@codybose515]

@@ProjectTimeGarage thanks !

[@RaizARukis]

3/8" hose*

[@HugieMaceachern]

Id use shorter filter

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Which filter do you recommend?

[@RaizARukis]

The bigger the better! LoL more flow, less restriction.

[@pauldampier9681]

Honestly that’s just cheap insurance

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, that's my thinking too.
