Is your OBS Powerstroke in need of SERIOUS fueling? Then look no further than this Fuel Delivery Kit with a Fuel Lab Prodigy Fuel Pump from the professionals at Driven Diesel. Designed to work in conjunction with one of Driven Diesel's Fuel Bowl Delete Regulated Return Kits, this will deliver enough fueling for nearly any horsepower and fueling level.
MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DRIVEN DIESEL FUEL BOWL DELETE REGULATED RETURN SYSTEM
The stock fuel filter bowl and mechanical fuel pump MUST be removed and a regulated return fuel system installed in their place to use this kit. This Driven Diesel OBS High Volume Fuel Delivery kit was specifically designed to supply fuel to our OBS "Fuel Bowl Delete" Regulated Return Kit (NOT INCLUDED...see Related Products section above), but it will work equally well with other regulated return fuel systems.
THIS KIT ELIMINATES THE FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVE
You will need to choose which tank the truck will be running from (front, rear, in-bed, fuel cell, etc). We HIGHLY RECOMMEND operating from the FRONT tank if possible, as it offers adequate clearnace above the tank for the 5/8" pickup, and has a smoother bottom surface for the sump to seal against. If you will be using the rear tank (whether stock or aftermarket), some modifications to this kit or the fuel tank may be required to cleanly plumb the necessary 5/8" connections to supply the fuel pump. In any case, the fuel supply and fuel return lines will both need to bypass the selector valve and be permanently connected to the same tank. If you still need the capacity of both tanks (for driving range reasons), you will need to devise a method of transferring fuel from the secondary tank to the tank the truck is running from (balance tube, transfer pump, etc). We do not currently offer the parts to complete the connection of a second tank. Also, Due to the differences we have seen in the condition of body mounts on OBS trucks (distance from frame to body), our pump bracket may contact the underside of the vehicle floor. On the few trucks we have found clearance issues on, the contact was very minor and the easiest solution was to carefully push the floor up about 1/4" in the affected area.
CHECK FOR CLEARANCE
While we have done everything we can to make this the most compact fuel pump and filter mount on the market at only 13" wide, there are a few applications where the mount will not fit inside the frame. Before ordering, please check your truck for clearance between the front of the fuel tank and the rear of the transfer case (4x4) for the necessary 13"-15" of installation space. If your truck doesn't have enough space inside the frame, this kit CAN be used outside the frame. You will need to disconnect the parking brake cable and route it through our pump mount bracket (we suggest covering it with a piece of split rubber hose as well), and shorten the pump mount bolts that protrude through the rear of the bracket. There should be plenty of extra hose in the kit to cleanly route the fuel lines to this location as well.
FUEL PICKUP OPTIONS
You have the option for this kit to either be configured to utilize a draw straw in which the fuel will be delivered through the top of the tank, or via sump. If you opt for the draw straw method, a 5/8" draw straw and all necessary components will be included. If you opt for the sump option, all necessary fittings will be included, less the actual sump. This kit will work with any sump that utilizes either a 1/2" pipe thread or #8 o-ring boss.
By running two of these pumps in a "side by side" parallel configuration, Driven Diesel has doubled the volume of fuel they are capable of delivering to the engine, allowing this pump package to support large injector upgrades without sacrificing reliability. Dual pumps also provides a level of redundancy for "high performance" trucks that are also asked to do regular duty as the family tow rig or daily driver. Coupled with Driven Diesel's new Compact Fuel Pump Filter Mounting Bracket and either a 5/8" Drawstraw or sump hardware(Sump NOT Included), this kit provides everything you need to feed your hungry 7.3L Powerstroke truck.
