you know you have a Racor filter with aqua-bloc as the OEM lower filter ?

 

1/4 inch inlet - outlet is a problem IMO

are you having a water issue /

EDIT 15 GPH eeekkkkkkkhnoes:

 

I read that somewhere but I just want to add one for piece of mind. Just adding also a coolant filter and an additional oil filtration system.

This would be a tow 5th wheel truck for long distances and want to make sure my engine has an extra protection/filtration. Thankfully no water issues.

 

What size should be inlet/outlet?

 

i think you can find a more appropriate unit

but Racor does make great stuff i would go larger

IDK what micron would be best ??
your really after water separation and GPH

 

You would go larger on the inlet/outlet or the filter it self?

 

This would be another option RACOR 200R Spin-On Series Diesel Fuel Filter/Water Separator | West Marine
as i can get 30 gph but inlet/outlet is the same size.

Specs
Aquabloc filter media repels water into drain bowl, assuring virtually 100% removal of water and solid contaminants.

Filtering Efficiency: 2 micron
Mounting Head: Die-cast aluminum
Inlets/Outlets: 1/4" NPT female

"Virtually 100%" :look:

Advertising talk trips me out.

 

i don't know what size inlet /outlet for the 6.0
but my motorcycle and lawnmower use 1/4 in and out

I would atleast think 1/2 and you theis a return style system so i would want to know the exact GPH required at a minimum

if your not monitoring fuel PSI don't ad any restrictions IMO

 

I would be after something closer to these specs

Racor Filter 1000FH10 Diesel Fuel Filter Water Separator

 

Slight derail here, but it applies to this subject. I was talking about this kind of setup with my uncle the other day. He has a 6.7 that he bought about 2 years ago or so. Anyway, he expressed concern for the kind of fuel hoses available on the market and whether or not they can hold up to Bio-Diesel long term or not. He did a ton of research and found a manufacturer that makes it. Then he got busy with other projects last year and lost all his info on it. But that's the last piece of the puzzle that's keeping him from installing his Racor water separator system. Does anyone know anything about how normal fuel hoses fair long term against Bio-Diesel? He lives in Minnesota where State law mandates that all Diesel fuel sold for on road vehicles must be Bio Diesel so between State Law and the extremely cold winters, it's a very real concern for him. Are we nuts?

 

you cant get regular #1 or 2 diesel ?

sorry I don't know what fuel line is best for bio

 

check this out I buy from them they are decent to deal with https://www.dudadiesel.com/viton.php

 

Effin A!!!!
Hey Thanks man! I'll send him the link!

 

He can't get it in Minnesota. They sell what they call "Off-Road" Diesel up there which would be no bio straight #1 or straight #2 or blended depending on how stinking cold it is BUT it's dyed red and if you're caught driving with it on a state road or highway, you're fined heavily and that dye doesn't go away for a really long time I guess. Sucks. I only know of 2 gas stations in my area here in Central Illinois that sell straight #2 no bio and I fill my truck up there religiously but if I travel anywhere, I have to fill up with Bio. My truck HATES bio. Anyway, Bio is everywhere and Uncle Bob doesn't want to run some crappy fuel lines off his fuel pump to and from his Racor setup that will deteriorate over time because of the Bio fuel he's forced to buy. He's a pretty smart dude. On a good note, his 6.7 seems to not hate Bio like my 6.0 does. He probably doesn't even really need the Racor. But piece of mind is priceless when it comes to a $40+ Thousand dollar pickup truck when you're retired and pulling a toy hauler all over the U.S., Canada, Alaska, etc...

 

The 6.0L fuel system is designed for 34 gph. The primary fuel filter is rated for 10 micron and a water removal efficiency of 96.5% or greater.

 

I see no reason to add another filter.

^^^ agreed. The 6.0 stock fuel filtration system is very good out of the box.

10 micron water stripper with a 4 micron secondary filter on the top of the engine. Great idea from an OEM.

Power Stroke Diesel - Power and Pride

 

I see no reason to add another filter.
