Electric Fuel System

[STROKE_THIS_F-250]

Well for the last few days I have been ordering parts for a electric fuel system conversion on my 97.

So far i have the following,

7.3l superduty electric pump

Aeromative 13109 regulator

Napa final filter part # 3528 ( 2 micron)

Napa filter base part # 4770

Standyne fuel manager pre- fuel/water separator part # 33641 (30 micron) If you order this, make sure you get the clear see through bowl. Extra $20

7/8 freeze plug

Also ordered fitting to connect to banjo bolt, then a reducer, then a 1/2 to 3/8 hose barb, so i can run 3/8 hose from it to fuel line. The benefit of this is, you don't have to run new lines to the heads. This will make it alot easier to do. I didn't want to have to remove the turbo to get the old lines out and put the new ones in.

Thats all i have so far and i will update once i order other fittings needed.

All parts should be here by mid next week, once i have them i will come up with a mounting bracket for the filter bases and pump.

I also didn't want to start buying the fittings for the filter bases until i have them and see what i need for sure.

Once i have everything, i will try to take as many pics as possible so you can do a setup like this.

I would also like to thank everyone that has shared there information on their own setups, it has helped a lot.

Sweet can't wait!! How much do you have into it so far?

[STROKE_THIS_F-250]

roughly 330 to 350.

Only things i have left to buy are relay, and fuse holder, maybe fuel heater( heard i dont need one).

I also need fittings and 3/8 and some 5/16 HPDR fuel line.

So once said and done i should have under 500 in my kit. ( hopefully)

That would be sweet!! Keeping my eye on this one, really don't want to spend $1000 on beans fuel system and heard the air dog isn't a complete kit.

I know i couldn't bring myself to spend that much on the truck. I already spent enough, but doing it yourself is harder, but at less than half the cost, it does make it worth your while.

Keep us up to date, its great that your putting part numbers. What for fitting are you putting on the banjo bolt, is it something special?

not to be a party pooper....may ought to invest in another pump. In the case 1 fails.
I've got an mallory 5150 pump, suppling fuel on my set up. Its failed once, and left me strainded.
I'm currently looking to changing over to 2, 7.3SD pumps or possibly a 6.0 pump.

the way he is going with his fuel system is like mine. only im using 6.0 fuel pumps. but he will delete the fuel pump in the valley and fuel bowl. so no banjo fittings

Actually man, i am going to leave the banjo fitting, bought some NPT fittings that will have a hose barb. This way i dont have to remove the lines off the back of the heads. The passenger side looks easy to get off, but the Driver's side will be a ***** with the turbo on. I will be removing the fuel bowl and such, but for now untill i get a new turbo the banjo will stay. I have seen a few people do it this way.

I will also post all the links later of where i got my stuff. And have taken a few pics so far, im going to try to put together somewhat of a write up.
