You're not too far from CNC Fab, and Corey's a site sponsor, give him a shout. @Corey@CNCFAB

Since you're in Ohio you should checkout the Midwest powerstroke assn. Drop by the chat page and say hi if you want. (Helps if you're at least a little crazy:laugh http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/mi....org/forum/midwest-powerstroke-association/1078945-midwest-chat-thread-215.html

 

Most people add spinons when they do a pump upgrade 6.7 pump, a1000 etc. A popular choice is a Baldwin bf1212 water separator/pre-pump filter and a Cat 1r-0749 (or the smaller 1r-0750)

 

Master Chase you have a recommended base to go with the Baldwin? I see FB1311 when with Amazon search.
I have rarely had issue with fuel filters in the 91 and 97. If memory is right the 97 is on the second filter at around 200k

 

I love my FASS set up, but its not a cost play by any means... I'd go drink beer at @Corey@CNCFABs place and sneak in a wholesale order when he isnt looking. :look:

 

Ya, not far at all. Im in Van Wert often at the EATON plant for picking up supplies. My shop is directly north of you right up US127, then hang a right on old US24 and Im about 5 miles east from there.

Not knocking the FASS, since @Heavy_GD has been having success with it, but many 6.0 owners are going with the AirDogII 165 4G. I do keep them in the warehouse and can get one to you typically next day instead of even driving up to my shop.

I wouldn't argue it either way honestly.

 

Meh, I don't find $48 every 10-15K miles to be out of line for quality fuel filtration. The stock setup is a good one IMO and pretty easy to swap filters on.

39.99 from diesel filters for com :thumb:

 

Or just get a fuel pressure gauge and change the filters when it tells you instead of wasting money on filters that potentially are not even bad. They say every other oil change, but I go much much further on filters. When I see the gauge start to dip down under heavy throttle, then I know its time.

 

How much drop should one look for?

 

when ppl switch to the 6.7 pump do they eliminate the secondary filter on top of the motor? does the 6.7 pump have a filter in it like the 6.0 or does everyone just put a spin on filter with it? whats the flow rate on the 6.0 and 6.7 pumps?

 

Some eliminate both filters, I plan too. Yes, the 6.7 pump has a filter like the 6.0s but there sold in a set like the 6.0s so you'll have the top one to throw away on the 6.7 side (unless you swap add in the top filter) and the bottom one for the 6.0. I don't know the flow rate but a 6.7 pump can feed 285cc injectors from what I've read while the 6.0 pump will only keep up with 175cc injectors.

ok so after doing some reading and looking what im thinking is putting a filter before and after the pump and just taking the factory filters out and putting the caps back on and leaving them empty. anyone c or know of any issues with this plan? plan would b for prefilter to b 10 micron with water separator and post filter to b 2 micron.

You'll need a dummy filter for the 6.7 pump but other than that I don't see a problem that's how I plan to do it.

ok so the plan is to order two napa 4770 filter heads with a baldwin bf1212 pre filter and a napa 3528 post filter. also can someone tell me fuel line size as well as which lines on the pump go to what? thanks

 

whats the best way to make a dummy filter for both of the filters?

 

I don't think the top one will need a dummy and from what I understand just remove the filtering stuff from the filter so it's an empty shell.

 

@StrokerIH, I'm still not sure why you want to go through all this, the fuel filter system on the 6.0 is adequate. Probably get more bang for your bucks with a bypass oil filter setup if your main concern is better engine protection. The common rail guys want better fuel/water separation because water is real bad in those engines. (well all diesels, but potential high $$$ repair in a common rail ) If you run a fuel additive that demulsifies water and open the drain on occasion you'll be golden. One part that's nice to upgrade is the water drain, they sell an upgraded plug. Just curious on your "why" :shrug:

 

i just like spin on filters better and i can get them a lot cheaper. also im gonna use the same filters that i have on my 7.3 so i can keep one set of filters on hand it cover both vehicles.

 

Fluid power 101, dont get those baldwin pre-filters. Use a minimum 75micron rating pre-filter. Even Aeromotive and Fuelab say the same thing in their tech sections. I have no idea why in the world so-called diesel performance shops would even remotely recommend a 4micron prefilter. That is what will burn up most pumps.

Here's a quote taken directly from Fuelab.

Fuel Pump Cavitation | Fuelab


FUELAB recommends the use of 75 micron rating for Prodigy Series fuel pumps (75-150 micron required). Typically, modern OEM straining filters are at a lower micron rating and made of plastic weave cloth. These types of filters are adequate and desirable for OEM applications, however, the typical aftermarket fuel system has too high of a flow rate to accommodate this form of straining filter easily. The biggest mistake (and almost certain doom for a high flow fuel system) is to use a 10 micron filter upstream of the fuel pump.

Plumbing size and the types of hose (or tube) play a vital role in the effects of cavitation as well general performance. The higher the flow rate, the larger the line size must be. Always avoid the use of check valves, or cross-drilled fittings when plumbing upstream of the fuel pump.

 

Okay, so I looked up fuel/water separators and found this mega filter anyone know the specs, looks like the BF1212s big brother? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015RHTD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
