@widowmaker8338 3 года назад

My truck is red truck just identical to yours except mine the 250 is an 2001 model. Like you when I first got it, it was pouring fuel all over the motor. And friend of mine come down from Dallas to East Texas where I live to visit his mother and grandmother and he came by and said he could fix it in just a few seconds. so I let him he put an o-ring on the end of that rubber ring that you called what they put in yours. However, what they put on mine was cone shaped. but it would not stop the leak. when he put the o-ring on to fit the copper that was going into it he only tightened it up with his hands and barely tightened the wrench up less than a quarter of a turn it has not leaked since and that was 5 years ago. And I'm very particular of the fuel I run as well.So I don't have to worry about it being dirty. Great show enjoyed what you showed us. Keep up the great work.

@amberself7514 Год назад

Question for you sir. On the back of oem fuel bowl on the bottom where people use port for pressure sensor. What size tork or Allen is it to take plug out. I would love to do a fuel bowl delete I’m not confident enough to do it. Thanks for great videos

@LivingOnWheels Год назад

I’m not sure what size it is. I’d imagine a standard size that would be in a set.

@Nick_Sorenson Год назад

I would guess the most common problem with the Fuel Pressure Regulator return fitting may have to do with (over)torque. I know I over-torqued mine and sheered it. I initially (and mistakenly) saw it as a flare fitting (metal to metal connection like in plumbing or brakes) and torqued it good... so it wouldn't leak. After breaking it I realized that it's a rubber compression fitting and really doesn't need much torque. Just pay attention to where the rubber compression gasket in there sat and put it back the same way. I'm sure there's a torque spec but I will just say in my experience... it's a half turn or so beyond finger tight.

@hisherslandscaping7963 2 года назад

Hi joe I'm still having fuel leak it's you definitely 100% coming from the fuel water valve on my 7.3 turbo diesel I replace the valve and the new valve leaks and all the same spots it doesn't Leak with a gaskets are it leaks at the bottom and at the top or the yellow handle is do you have any suggestions? I was thinking fuel pressure regulator or the fuel and water Port that's right next to the wastegate valve the plugin has the connection for the bowl heater and water sensor

@jamesb1988 Год назад

8:46 I pulled the fuel line that plugs into the FPR (and the fuel line below it too) when I was trying to make room to reach the HPOP outfittings with a wrench... could not replacing the Orings cause my truck to idle rough? Like choppy? No codes. All the other numbers look good.

@LivingOnWheels Год назад

The fuel line below is the feed line so maybe you have some air in the system but all in all, neither of those should really cause it to run rough. Depending on what you did with the HPOP that is definitely something that could make it run rough.

@itswhatitis8364 3 года назад

I got a code for low fuel pressure, Do you think the fuel pressure regulator might have something to do with it if it failed. Truck would run but then when I would accelerate it would die, I changed the fuel pump about a year ago.

@MCatwar 2 года назад

good video. you’ve been a solid resource for everything about this truck. call me crazy, but i actually ended up running a super duty 7.3 fuel system from electric pump to bowl to hpop reservoir on my obs. reason being is that, while the super duty bowls have their problems, they’re cleaner and easy to access compared to the obs bowls and mechanics lift pumps. plus, i had it at my disposal from a 7.3 and it cost about 100 bucks to rebuild it completely through diesel o rings. so i don’t see it leaking anytime soon, but it’s a good, cheap step in the right door if i ever wanted to do a bowl delete and regulated return. this way i wasn’t spending a ton of money up front, and i’m already getting healthier fuel pressure to the truck. i’m not going for speed either so i think it’ll be beneficial

Thanks I’ve been wondering how the fuel system works. I’ve got an OBS so it’s a little different. I might buy a pack of the orings for the fuel lines to keep in the glove box.

@LivingOnWheels 5 лет назад

yeah. The obs system is a little different but I don't think its too far off. I just checked riff raff and it does look like they also use the strange Viton O-rings. They are pretty cheap so not too bad to keep on hand. I keep a full O-ring kit for my HPOP and my fuel bowl (when I had it) on hand just in case. Got stranded in the middle of Wyoming 2 years ago because of one O-ring on my HPOP.

@LivingOnWheels 5 лет назад

To be completely honest I don't know enough about it to say one way or another. I've looked into it and heard both good and bad. The pro's are very intriguing to me but I am not sure if I trust it enough to run on my daily driver, but that is also because My truck is my only rig.

@abl5516 5 лет назад

Yeah, I think PSH mentioned low to mid 20’s MPG. the system he mention supposedly needed several parameters to met before it would release the juice.

I just purchased a 2002 f350 dulley with the 7.3. Love the truck. Hear great thing about the 7.3. I notice that under full throttle, it spits and sputters. It doesn't do it of course under nice easy throttle. Any recommendations?

@LivingOnWheels Год назад

My first instinct would be to to check fuel and HPOP pressure. Having a good way to monitor your truck is very useful. Its not cheap but what I have run on my last 3 trucks is the Edge CTS with added sensors for fuel pressure and EGTs. This allows you to monitor basically every sensor on your truck and be able to pull codes as well. I honestly think it will save you money in the long run because it allows you to better diagnose things. Edge CTS: amzn.to/3Vh3PRI Sensor Bundle: amzn.to/3EE5M3y

Thanks for the info it’s good to know. I have an 01 7.3 and I have to cycle my glow plugs about 3 times before I start it when it’s cold. Any ideas what could cause that?

@LivingOnWheels 5 лет назад

It's either that you have bad glow plugs or your glow plug relay is out. The relay is super easy to test and the glow plugs aren't too bad to check through the valve cover harness.

@hillsautohome346 5 лет назад

How cold are we talking? From my long term experience with cold weather and 7.3's it comes down to way more than functioning glow plugs. My bank 2 plugs have been shot for a few years and I still can start with one cycle 99.8% of the time. This living in MT and CO. Really good batteries, starter, upgraded HPOP and using Cetane boost with anti gel helps a lot.

@LivingOnWheels 5 лет назад

@@hillsautohome346 I agree with you on all of that. Good batteries make a very big difference. If it is getting cold enough to worry about fuel gelling then additive should be considered mandatory at that point. Obviously, a brand new or upgraded HPOP helps as well as running synthetic oil. All that said, from my experience fresh plugs that work makes a huge difference on cold startups. Even old worn out trucks can start reliably with a healthy glow plug system. The question of how cold is important though.

@1snapbean 4 года назад

Joshua McKinn I was having similar issues with my 01 7.3. I had been running 15W-40 and switched to the 5W-40 Synthetic and it has helped a lot. Didn’t really see any increase in fuel mileage like some people say but it has help with the cold starts.

I’m curious if you’re Deleting the bowl where are you running a filter

@LivingOnWheels 2 года назад

The filtration moved down to the frame rail integrated into the Airdog fuel pump.

@weswynn1 4 года назад

Hey bud I am new to your videos, I have a 02 7.3, I have 305,000 on it and I’ve never done any upgrades except for it metaled and 4” turbo back exhaust, what do you suggest for a freshen up for that kind of mileage. I’d like to put a Hydra on and that’s about all.

@LivingOnWheels 4 года назад

My first suggestion would be to do the hydra. You will be amazed at what a difference just a tune makes.

@whocares5188 Год назад

Ok I have a 2000 f250 7.3 if I hit it with starter fluid it starts for a couple seconds till it burns off the starter fluid then dies. I have flue going to the bowl so what can stop it from getting to the engine?

@LivingOnWheels Год назад

Could be a lot of thing. Oil pressure, injector harness, bad sensor, bad IDM, bad icp, blown fuse…. The list could definitely go on.

@markfalcon5949 Год назад

As you can tell from my comment I am not very learned on the 7.3 ford power stroke engine. I finally came across you video, and WHAM, there was the answer I have been hunting for. So my question to you is this, if I eliminate the fuel bowl, what mods or changes do I have to do? I have been trying to find out why I am losing fuel out of this “ drain line” . The truck does not get driven very much, and I fired it up today to let it run and charge the batteries, circulate the fluids, etc. Saw something leaking profusely on the passenger side of the engine. Okay , after some checking things out I found this drain line, but could not determine where the hell it was originating from. Didn’t pull anything from the engine to further investigate without trying to determine what , why and where this line starts stops. Is this a common issue? What caused it to dump the fuel, and how do I repair it??? Your feedback is MUCH APPECIATED!

@LivingOnWheels Год назад

Yes this is a very common thing on the 7.3s. It’s just old o-rings that have failed cause the fuel bowl to leak out of the drain valve on the back of the fuel bowl. Unless you’re planning on doing a lot of modifications to the truck I would keep the factory bowl in place. I actually have a video series on how to completely rebuild/reseal your fuel bowl. Not a bad job at all. I’ll link that below for you to check out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kpOGmcrM3oo.html

I was able to hold the blocked piece in place with a pick tool and then turned the nut around it off

@sheadelargy2445 2 года назад

PLEASE HELP. I know this is an old video but I had the FPR break off in my fuel line and I can not get it out. Since this is such a common issue is there a way you guys were able to remove the broken threads without damaging the fuel line ? I just took the truck apart and am so close to starting her up again. Thankyou

@LivingOnWheels 2 года назад

Unfortunately there’s not some great secrete way. I was able to use a pick tool to hold the threaded piece in place while I used a wrench to turn off the but like it normally would.

@turner593 4 года назад

Hi Joe, quick question on your new fuel block did you permanently delete the fuel bowl heater or install it elsewhere ?

@LivingOnWheels 4 года назад

I have no fuel heater. Plug for it just sits in the valley of the engine. The heater tends to cause more problems than it fixes.

Use a simple, 2 step, step stool from home depot. It's not perfect but it works pretty good.

@angelacheatham9046 Месяц назад

how did you get the threads out of the nut after they snapped off

Held the nut from spinning with pliers and used a pick tool to spin out the broken piece.

Thanks for your time. Two things. My fuel lines are rotted leaking fuel. Can I run rubber fuel hose and clamps instead of taking alternator,power steering pump and pull and big alum mounting bracket off the truck. Would like to cut my new lines I bought and hook factory ends to fuel bowl and run hoses down to where the supply and return lines hook together under truck. Thanks

@johnsellers2999 4 года назад

Oh the other thing I was wondering how do you get to top of truck from wheel chair. Just curious how you get up there cause I have a hard time just from getting older. Thanks for your vids. Very helpful

@LivingOnWheels 4 года назад

I suppose you could probably rig something up to work. Just gotta get real good seals on everything. As very getting up there I use a step stool haha its not perfect but it mostly gets the job done. At some point I'll get myself a topside creeper.

@johnsellers2999 4 года назад

Thanks for getting back to me. The supply doesn't make so much pressure that the hose clamps won't work will it?like I said ,I bought the two new steel lines but want to cut them and just use the new parts of lines with the nuts to tighten to the filter bowl and where they connect under truck to the lines with the push clip ,I was gonna cut down there and use fuel hose and hose clamps. Didn't get to it today other things came up. Thanks again and I have to give you lots of credit for getting up under that hood. Can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. Cause it hurts my knees getting up there for me. Keep on keeping on my friend

That was great info every time I start my truck gas is leaking my X lying thieving employee replace the fuel filter I believe the actual problem was he didn't put enough gas in it I told it home and one day decided to put another 5 gallons in it and it started right up but now there's diesel fuel coming out from under the truck so I'm trying to figure out where it's coming from getting up in the engine is very difficult for me but I think with all the things that you pointed out one of them's got to be my answer I appreciate it brother God bless you oh where's your water where is your fuel filter now

@LivingOnWheels 4 года назад

Id put money on it being your drain valve leaking on the back of the bowl. Those O-rings are known to fail. My fuel filter and water separator are down on the frame now by the filler neck. I run and Airdog pump filter setup.

@shanebryan8151 4 года назад

As a new owner of a 7.3 And as a truck driver I've noticed theirs no fuel heater in the fuel tank, why is that? Is their an aftermarket fuel heater available? Years ago before trucks had fuel heating in the tanks we had to mix it with alcohol

@LivingOnWheels 4 года назад

There is no heater in the tank but there is one in the fuel bowl. If you leave in a real cold environment you can’t put some anti gelling additive in the tank.

@traderryan713 2 года назад

My econoline is leaking and im hoping its the drain valve or some fuel bowl o ring based on what you say. Didn't leak until it got cold here today. I knew this buying it and not a big deal at all as i got it for a great price and was maintained well over its life i was told and believe based on the back story.. (442k miles). I look forward to working on it anyway.
