OEM canister to CP3

[deeselfitter]

Is it OK to take the rubber line off between the OEM filter canister and cp3 to add a 3 rd filter . What kind of pressure is there....8 or 9 lbs?

Yes it is acceptable, I have one there as do many others.

8-10 psi idle is what you will see with the OEM pump.

Just making sure ....it's the line from the bottom of the OEM standpipe location....right?

What do you mean by standpipe?

Bottom of the OEM filter, isn't there a standpipe in the middle of the oem filter where the filtered fuel exits for the pump? Sure thought there was when i changed the cartridge in the canister.

Gotcha, yes the bottom of the canister is the outlet.

Just buy the kit from Glacier Diesel and save yourself a lot of running around. Their kit also includes a special outlet fitting at the base of the factory filter that can be accessed with a socket.

I have done this, as well as many others, too. But if your mechanically inclined, it's easy and cheaper to do yourself. I made mine the same as Glaciers' kit for about $120. But rather than use -6 diesel rated rubber hose, I used -6 stainless steel hose braid with AN/JIC fittings and such. Just made it a cleaner look, and I hate hose clamps. Spend a few minutes to make a templete for the filter mount, with clearance for the filter height, and good to go. I used a "P-Clip" to secure my line because I hate vibrations of hoses.

More work than Glaciers' kit; yes. advantage to buy parts slowly and not hit the bank with a big purchase. Personal preference is what it comes down too.
