Cutting a hole in the bottom of the tank is like cutting a hole in your roof to install a sunroof. they all leak in the end...
great to know, thanks. I may do this with my obs. One minor thing, what you called cavitation (9:38) is just called vaporization. Cavitation is when you have a turbulent low pressure area (say the downstream side of a partially closed valve) that causes vacuum bubble to form and collapse rapidly, which will cause damage to the surfaces around it. It can also be caused by high vibration areas, such as the cavitation problem on the 7.3 IDI. What you described is just fuel short cycling and being heated to its vaporization point.
Great information, thanks!
great vid keep them coming on 7.3 thanks in advance
More to come!
I did the hutch and harpoon mod 7yrs ago. I did compression fitting on return. I took a tubing bender and bent away from float + i added 18". Love that mod. Again great video Clint.. btw I I twin screw on filters. Actually PO had it on but was disconnected.
Described the same way (dieseltechron) showed on his Chanel!! RIP Ron!!
Morning from South Texas
I really appreciate your vids they are really helpful,i bought a “01” f250 7.3 last year this would be my fourth one,it has 203,000 on it 4wd 4dr recently it started running rough and lopin,in watchin another source on utube i gound that the icp was bad but i am going to drop the tank and clean the filters this truck has a added fuel cell under a tool box which flows into the original fill tube and the truck was ranch truck till i bought it so im fixing things as i go.
Thanks,Ron

Great videos!💯🤙🏻 Can’t wait sump my 7🌲
excellent
I have been wanting to swap the stock rear tank with the 38-gallon tank and put sumps on both tanks of my '97 F350 crew cab. I already have an Irate E-fuel system installed with the stock setup but would like to change up to larger fuel lines. The problem is the fuel tank selector valve and its fuel line size. Do you have a suggestion on how to keep both tanks and upsize to the 1/2" fuel lines? Thanks for all the info.
Right on
best description. I think im going this route with my 460 gas truck
Nice do you have dual tanks?
How is a 10 micron filter more crazy than a 2 micron filter.
LOL someone is paying attention
I was going to say a 2 micron is a finer filter than a 10 micron. Meaning a 10 micron particle is larger than a 2 micron.
Nice👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You have great knowledge and your speaking presentation is Great. The majority of your video is great. but your intro is hard to get through. If you had a gimbal and had a professional edit for an intro your channel could do alot. I just bought a used 7.3 and will be watching many of your videos.
already working on that
Added stage 1 turbo and stage 1 injectors to my 7.3 should I upgrade my e40d tranny now that I plan to heavy tow?
What is everyone's favorite lift pump , regulated return and fuel sump combo? .
I have ran a few different setups and brands from different company's and have found some pros and cons myself 🤔
Just found your channel and binge watching. My 1996 7.3 E350 has a mechanical lift pump in the engine valley. The van has 310k on it. I have had it 5 years and 100k and wonder how often the pump needs to be replaced. Thanks for the great content.
The rule of thumb if you want to do pre maintenance is at the 300k area
Grant do yourself a bid favour, check out youtube for 7.3 fuel bowl delete and mechanical fuel pump delete.
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD my 97 7.3 has 270,000 on it and the mechanical pump has failed 3 times and eliminated (efuel) once. I have 2 Bosch 044s on a relay so I have a backup, and a primary and secondary spin on filter. Both tanks have been sumped. The rear tank is now the 38 gallon tank.
Also... is there a trick or an easy way to get the back turbo/exhaust clamp back on?? in 2003 we did a ton of upgrades to my 2000 7.3 and that clamp was a Sun on the Beach to get back on! and now I've got a pedestal oil leak so she's down till I pull the turbo and pedestal... which ain't any fun! Advice??
I got a Banks Clamp easy to get on a real bear to get off though, I find using a bottle jack to hold the pipe up in place from under the truck makes life real bearable with this difficult clamp, Follow the never leak vid I made and if done right you will never have to do this again
I know this was a few months ago... but I used a paint marker, drew a line from the dowel-up over the top of the ypipe, and a line from the dowel hole up over the top of the turbo. Put the clamp on the pipe,, snug on the bottom,, slip turbo into the clamp,, line up the 2 lines, clamp her down.
I struggled and entire day, just could not get it. Quit for the night and just thought about it... happened to pick up a paint pen for something else when the light bulb went off.
Thanks for the videos. Your videos are very helpful. I’m having a hard time finding Info on putting a sump on dual tank trucks. Would I need to go from each tank into the tank selector valve?
either a modern tank selector or a parallel tube balancing both like dual semi tanks or a pump and switch pump from far tank to closest tank any option here will work
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD your the man. Thank You
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD If I wanted to got he "modern tank selector" route, is there certain brand or part number I should be looking for?
@@gabemedina2287 Ive used these before with no issues just got to make sure the inlet n outlet is of correct tube size I don't have the part number any more JDMSPEED New Fuel Tank Selector Switching Valve 3 Port
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD Bookmarked! thanks a bunch. I dont subscribe much, but you'll get one.
Please a video of deleting fuel bowl and mechanical fuel pump installing a e-fuel pump.. fass system or irate system upgrade. Good idea or no Me CLINT?
How well does a sump work with the factory tank skid plate? Are you able to sneak it between the tank and plate?
On the trucks I have it was no problem I would say if you can fit your hand in between your there
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD awesome, thank you!
Here was my thought in 2004, I know... I had a thought don't cha know :) I dropped my tank and removed the 2 screens to help increase fuel flow, added a filter on the frame and for giggles we put a 128 Gal tank in the bed, before the Govment out lawed big tanks over 92 gal... So the big tank keeps the factory tank full, no sucking air or foam :) But now I like the Sump idea better.... just need to burn off 160 gallons of $1.99 fuel I bought over a year ago :)
That's a lot of fuel
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD Yeppers, but I can pull a travel trailer to the wife's parents ranch outside of Boise, ID and back to ABQ and still commute to work for another month or so.... But it hurts the wallet to filler her up! Plus from the first fill-up I've always user Power Service fuel additive... even in my semi's back when I was OTR driving! My 87' KW had twin 250 gal tanks :)
did you ever do the EBV delete video? I want to know what to do with the dangling plug!!!!!
czcams.com/video/rg725mTLo6Y/video.html same concept just cut the plug and solder this in on each lead slide shrink over heat done
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD I was watching it already lol you rock :) thanks so much!!!!
You have a way to contact you? I have some questions
So does this eliminate the sending unit? and if so, how does the dash guage read the fuel level? My rig is running out of fuel at a quarter tank and I'm wondering if this will solve the problem. thanks
yes will solve issue and if sending unit is bad pull it out and clean it first
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD TY, just to clarify. Do I still need the sending unit?
Shucks. I was hoping that this vid would recommend a location to install my sump. The “best” place I can see without dropping my tank (I do not have a lift) is the spot in the middle with the round indention, but I am leery of drilling my 3” hole there because that indention must be for a reason and I do not want to drill a 3” hole right beneath the OEM pickup assembly, which would mean I would need to buy a new tank and install the sump somewhere else.
I always install under the pick tube area and if you want to go the next step divert the incoming tube straw 12 inches to the front of tank and if you want to go even further cut the fill tube 6 inches from the top of tank
By doing this sump mod and adding an inline filter, could we then permanently remove the fuel bowl from the 7.3 engine valley? 🤔
This would make working on the hpop oil pump area a dream !
yes ,,
What about the electronic wire connector on the back of the fuel bowl? What's it for, and what do I do with it if I decide to do this? 2002 7.3 E450

Hard too put hole in $600,stainless steel tank.So if you add a tank will you have that problem!
Tell me more about whether on a strictly street F350 I need to ADD a new inline pump and what new in-line filter do you like?
Napa filters and bases, double filter with 10 micron and 3 micron with a water drain
someone needs a lesson on micron size.😅 2 micron is smaller then the factory fuel filter.

Come back to the shop come back come back to work it ain't dark yet
Does anyone have a suggestion or link to one ? I’d like to go with what has been used and reviewed positively…thanks
They all do the same thing, Low or high priced best bet buy one that has 3 bolt fastener single lead out and keep the return line right where it is also get a new feed hose with the quick connectors
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD I do not understand. Do you say having the return line far away from the pickup line to avoid cavitation?
@@trondvidardalseng894 yes keep the 2 at least a foot apart
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD Thank you for your answer. I understand. A quick question. Does the return line have to be from down and up in a swamp install? Or can I install the retun line from top on the fuel tank and down, downwords? What would be the best result in that kind of install?
@@trondvidardalseng894 I prefer single line out of sump and return line top of tank where it is currently located
Might also want to think about with the cost of fuel these days,
not to play devil's advocate, but you are making it much easier for fuel theft with a bottom sump !
Or the thieves can just drill a hole
