Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) HPFP Install

[MMathurin]

Already read the FASS instructions and the archives here, any other tips. Someone mentioned boiling the line ends, does that help slide them on, or just oil the tips? Where on the frame did you mount, and and did you follow the stock line route to engine bay? Can't find the Dodge CD manual, so not entirely sure about removing old LP. Does the stock fuel filter assembly come off, then LP, install blocking plate, then reinstall filter assembly?

I have an older HPFP so my mount is different from yours. It went on the bottom of the box near the frame rail. You can leave the original lift pump on if you wish. My kit uses the original fuel filter. Heating the ends of the fuel line makes it easier to push them on but it isn't necessary but do lube them.

thanks,

What is the proper thread tape? Is it true that the usual white plumbers tape will break down and leak?

Mine hasn't.

Heat gun and axle grease works wonders with the fuel line. BUT WD-40 is also good with heat. (BUT On the last batch of line we got, it seems that its going on a lot easier for some reason)



THe HPFP uses the stock filter head on the engine.



Oh and my thread tape has not started to leak after 3 years... ... .
