Thumbnail Filmstrip of 7.3L Powerstroke Regulated Return Kit Sinister Diesel SD-FUELREG-7-3 Images
The Sinister Diesel SD-FUELREG-7-3 (SD-FUELREG-7.3) is an all-in-one regulated fuel return system with an integrated fuel filter block engineered for 1999–2003 7.3 Powerstroke engines. It completely replaces the factory fuel filter bowl in the engine valley with a CNC-machined billet aluminum filter block featuring an integrated 6-micron fuel filter. Sinister finishes the block and mounting components in signature blue anodizing and packages the system with an adjustable bypass fuel pressure regulator, an oil-filled pressure gauge, and high-flow braided fuel lines with protective sleeves and retaining clips.
Fuel pressure drop under load, rough idle from trapped air in the fuel rails, noisy injector cackle, and chronic fuel leaks from the aging stock filter bowl are what this kit cures. By replacing the dead-headed factory setup with a continuous-flow regulated loop, fuel circulates through both cylinder heads before returning to the tank. Because the billet filter block incorporates its own 6-micron filter, you get the performance and valley-clearing benefits of a bowl delete without having to add external frame-mounted post-pump filter assemblies. It is the complete regulated return system kit only; lift pumps are sold separately.
It fits 1999–2003 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks and Excursions equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel engine.

Relieve fuel system pressure and completely drain the stock fuel bowl before disconnecting factory fuel lines and electrical connectors. A 3/8-inch fuel line quick-disconnect tool is required to disconnect the chassis hard lines from the stock filter assembly. Mount the billet filter block and route the braided lines loosely first to verify clearance around wiring harnesses and HPOP lines before torquing all AN fittings. After priming the system, use the regulator adjustment screw to set your baseline fuel pressure to 60–65 PSI while inspecting all valley connections for leaks.

Will this work with a Fass system?

I would not suggest this kit with the Fass system. The Fass system already has the filtration you need, and this Sinister kit would add more filtration possibly causing a restriction. Here is what I would suggest as a better option. drdDD-73FS-FBD-RRK-V3 and drdDD-FA-InstallKit-V4. If you currently have the FASS then Yes, some different fittings may be required but ultimately it will work.

Does this system send fuel pressure to the rear ports on heads and the return out the front to eliminate air. If sends in the front, can the components be swapped around to send pressure to the rear ports?

Feeds the rear and exits out of the front.
