Driven Diesel Fuel Bowl Delete Regulated Return Fuel System Kit 99-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke
Description
Upgrade your fuel system the right way....eliminate dead-headed stock fuel rails, adjustable fuel pressure, and other features that all equate to a better performing and more reliable truck.
The Driven Diesel "Fuel Bowl Delete" Regulated Return Kit for the 99-03 Powerstroke Superduty takes their popular "Standard" Regulated Return Kit to a new level. Just like the "Standard" version, this kit eliminates the "dead-head" stock fuel rails and provides adjustable fuel pressure capability to the Powerstroke fuel system. This is accomplished by tying the end of each fuel rail together through a Bypass Fuel Pressure Regulator. In addition, the "Bowl Delete" Regulated Return kit also eliminates the restrictive fuel filter bowl, improving fuel flow to the heads and giving back some valuable engine valley room.
The primary benefits of this kit are significantly increased fuel flow "through" the heads, eliminating fuel delivery and noise issues associated with the #8 injector and ensuring that every fuel injector has adequate fuel quantity and pressure all the time. Additionally, any air that may develop in the fuel system can pass through the heads and out the regulators return port to the tank, instead of through the fuel injectors...resulting in increased injector life and less injector noise. If you are installing new injectors (stock or aftermarket), we HIGHLY RECOMMEND a Regulated Return kit to protect your investment and maximize your performance!
NOTE: Additional Parts and Filtration Required when using this kit! See below for notes about specific common configurations:
No Additional Accessories: As stated, you cannot install this kit as-is, but maybe you've sourced the parts elsewhere and have it covered. No problem, we give you this option
Add FASS / AirDog Install Kit: For those running a FASS or AirDog pump, this installation kit will allow you to utilize your existing pump
Add Pre/Post Fuel Filter Kit with Stock Fuel Pickup: For those running a stock fuel pump and stock or Stage 1/1.5 injectors and a factory style fuel pickup at the tank (not a sump), you'll want to add this installation kit.
Add Pre/Post Fuel Filter Kit with Sump: For those running a stock fuel pump and stock or Stage 1/1.5 injectors and a tank mounted fuel sump (mounts to bottom of tank), you'll want to add this installation kit. The installation kit does not include the sump itself.
If running Stage 2 or larger injectors, you will need to run one of Driven Diesel's High Performance Fuel Pump Kits. There are several configurations for these systems and are not an available option on this page, but available elsewhere on our website.
Optional High Flow Banjo Bolt Kit (available from menu at top of page) - This kit, which includes (4) Brand New Driven Diesel T-304 STAINLESS STEEL High Flow Banjo Bolts and (4) copper crush washers, replaces the stock restrictive banjo bolts in your 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel. The larger passages through the Driven Diesel 7.3L banjo bolts will reduce restriction and increase flow to the fuel rails, resulting in less turbulence in the fuel and improved support for larger injectors or other horsepower modifications.
FITMENT NOTE - Fits both Excursions and Superduty trucks. This kit will NOT fit the E-Series Van.

About Driven Diesel
Driven Diesel, the manufacturing side of the highly accredited Strictly Diesel, is widely known for producing quality, first to market, diesel performance and maintenance products, specializing in Ford Powerstrokes. Dennis Schroeder and Nate Brekken, co-owners of Strictly Diesel, came together in 2010 in order to merge two companies with a common goal. Previously, Dennis owned ITP Diesel that was notorious for producing regulated return fuel kits for Powerstrokes and other specialty performance products while Nate owned Strictly Diesel, which at the time focused on quality, local service and repair work. The two continually collaborated between one another so it was only natural to combine the two companies into what it is now. While many know the Regulated Return Kits, Fuel Filter Kits, Electric Fuel Pump Kits, etc. as Strictly Diesel products, technically they are derived from the manufacturing side of Strictly, known as Driven Diesel. Whichever name you have come to know their products as, you can be rest assured you will never find a "copy-cat" product with their name on it and they have put their own blood, sweat, and tears into every finite detail. These are not "one size fits all" products, but truly tailored for each individual application and designed to serve a purpose and make your truck more reliable than the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Bought this primarily to add
"Bought this primarily to add the different fuel filters. Install was a bit outside of my ability so I had a friend who is a diesel mechanic by trade do it for me. Been running it about 6 weeks now and no problems. I have a fuel pressure gauge and it shows this setup is much more consistent pressure than the stock setup."
Quite and smooth
"Very quality kit and very easy to install or cheap to pay for service to get done … made truck run smoother and fuel pressure was more stable"
Fuel bowl delete kit
"Just installed it seems to be working good just wished you would make a dvd on the install instead of the directions it came with seems well worth the money"
Great Kit!
"Excellent Kit! I'd recommend to anyone with a 99-03 7. 3L Super Duty."
Perfect
"Great product"
Wish I had done it sooner. . .
"Instructions were well written, easy to follow. Purchased along with the with post pump filter kit and TS 6 position chip. Everything went together, and the truck runs great."
Don't think, just buy it.
"If you are running the factory fuel bowl, the next thing you buy for you're truck should be this kit. I used this kit in combination with a fass 200gph@55 psi pump. Truck fired off first try after installation, havent had any problems since. You'll warm up to the price quick after a few times of sitting on the side of the road due to fuel issues. The value this well thought out kit brings is worth much more than the price."
Must do 7. 3
"So much better then the messy fuel bowl, fit finish as expected due to all the great reviews for Driven products must do for all 7. 3"
no regrets
"So much better then stock no regrets"
Q&A
- What is the difference between this kit and the CNC fabrication high flow fuel line/bowl delete kit? Does this kit replace the left and right lines going to back of heads? Looking to delete fuel bowl as well upgrade all fuel lines and have set up for 8an connection to lift pump/fass system. Thanks in advance.
- Those are going to be achieving the same goal, just from two different manufacturers.
- If I already have a filter pre pump would I still need to install one post pump to run this kit or would the one be sufficient?
- The Pre-pump filter is typically not a low enough Micron rated filter to feed into your injectors. I would still recommend a Post pump filter kit. -Sands
- i have a driven diesel regulated return for a 7.3 power stroke and im not sure how it installs
- Please email us at CS@dieselpowerproducts.com and we can get you some install instructions emailed!
- i was installing this product after swapping a blown 7.3 and broke the fitting on the back right of the motor after looking for a replacement at other parts stores could not find one that would work that is the only fitting i need i was wondering where i could get on or possibly just order that part
- We would recommend to contact Driven Diesel directly for a replacement fittings.
- What comes with the FASS installation kit? I have a FASS pump with a pre filter. My stock system is not returning fuel to the tank. It's very hard to get air out of my fuel lines. I took the return line off the fuel bowl. There is just a trickle of fuel coming out. My pressure on the pump is good. I would like to get rid of the hard supply and return lines. What do you recommended going back with? Thank you, Curry
- This will come with everything you need to install the regulated return with fuel bowl delete on a truck already equipped a FASS Titanium system. (Or being installed at the same time). I have a picture of what comes in the kit for the FASS installation. Email ben@dieselpowerproducts if you would like it sent to you.
