2003 7.3 f550 fuel bowl delete fuel ecomomy

I have been thinking about this recently as I had a bad drain valve o rings and was leaking. Are there any benefits from removing the fuel bowl? I currently get about 9mpg pulling my trailer. My truck is completely stock with only 80k miles on it. At 65 mph my tach is about 2600 rpms as well. This truck is a 4x4 with manual locking hubs as well. Would a bank's tuner increase mpg? Or a different differential? Thanks for any and all input on both subjects.

Removing the fuel bowl definitely cleans up the engine valley, but it's not necessary. I have fuel bowl reseal kits, and maybe something to think about is our bowl retain fuel line kit.



As far as a tuner, this one is by far the most popular.
