5/8 Fuel Pickup Version
If you are already running our
COMPLETE ELECTRIC FUEL SYSTEM CONVERSION on your 94-97 OBS 7.3L, and you are wanting to do other performance work that requires more fuel pump volume than the stock single Bosch pump provides, this upgrade kit will get you there. This kit upgrades the fuel pump and filters portion of your fuel system to run "Dual Bosch Pumps" (in parallel), just like our High Volume Fuel Delivery Kits. You will need to select between the SUMP HARDWARE (sump not included) or 5/8" PICKUP version, depending on which way you want to setup your fuel system. Please see all of the important notes below and refer to the full description of our
Dual Bosch High Volume Fuel Delivery Kits for a complete picture of what this upgrade kit converts your current e-fuel system to.
Important Notes:
This kit is ELIMINATES the fuel tank selector valve from the fuel path (both supply and return fuel)…you will need to choose which tank the truck will be running from (front, rear, in-bed, fuel cell, etc.). We HIGHLY RECOMMEND operating from the FRONT tank if possible, as it offers adequate clearance above the tank for the 5/8" pickup, and has a smoother bottom surface for the sump to seal against. If you will be using the rear tank (whether stock or aftermarket), some modifications to this kit or the fuel tank may be required to cleanly plumb the necessary 5/8" connections to supply the fuel pump (particularly with the 5/8" pickup tube). In any case, the fuel supply and fuel return lines will both need to bypass the selector valve and be permanently connected to the same tank. If you still need the capacity of both tanks (for driving range reasons), you will need to devise a method of transferring fuel from the secondary tank to the tank the truck is running from (balance tube, transfer pump, etc.), or possibly run an in-bed transfer tank. We do not currently offer the parts to complete the connection of a second tank.
DO NOT use our mini ball valves on the #10 (5/8") side of this system. The internal passage of those valves is too small for the suction side of the dual pump setup! We now have a 5/8" Fuel Line Shut-Off Valve option for the suction side of the system, and you can use a mini ball valve on the outlet of the post-pump fuel filter if desired.
This kit uses the Baldwin BF1252 "Pre-Pump" Fuel Filter/Water Separator and the Baldwin BF7633 "Post Pump" Fuel Filter.
NOTE: This is NOT a complete dual pump fuel supply kit, it can NOT be used by itself, in an otherwise stock fuel system and should NOT be ordered without a complete understanding of how and why this kit needs to be used. This kit is an upgrade to an existing DRIVEN DIESEL OBS ELECTRIC FUEL SYSTEM CONVERSION KIT ONLY! If you do not already have our OBS E-Fuel Conversion, do NOT order this upgrade!
If your fuel system is still 100% stock and you want a dual pump e-fuel conversion, you will need to purchase our OBS Regulated Return Kit and our OBS Dual Bosch High Volume Fuel Delivery Kit. This will provide you with everything you need to remove your mechanical pump and stock filter bowl and upgrade to a dual pump e-fuel system.
