Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) started new fuel system

[SFrey]

well, while the truck is down i decided to start on the fuel system. first part is the tank pick-up tube. took a 12an (3/4 inch) fuel cell bulkhead and bored the bottom out to receive a 3/4 od aluminum tube. from here it goes to a aeromotive filter, then to a aeromotive a-1000 pump. still looking for a filter/water separator that will flow enough for the pump. i think i found one made by racor, it normally is found on diesel pumps at truck stops. they say it will flow 50-gpm with a 25 micron rating.

Fleetguard FS1000 10 micron, used on 600hp ISX Cummins. It should flow what you want. Use a remote mount fuel filter head, available from Cummins, Baldwin etc. I don't have the part number I used, but it has 10AN, 7/8" inlet, outlet. 1" -14 thread nipple. Here is mine.

according to fleet guard the fs-1000 only flows 89. 82 gph, the aeromotive a-1000 flows 140 gph. the highest flowing fleet guard filter is a fs-1218 it flows 120 gph, still not quite enough. the racor filter flows over 900 gph, only problem is not many people carry them.

Bill, that looks like a slick setup . Does that take the place of your lift pump ?

DBohl, yes this takes the place of the mechanical lift pump.

Bgilbert, is that filter setup from Glacier diesel ???

Michael

Michael, no. I bought everything locally, minus the A-1000, got it from Jegs. GDP uses the same filter head ~ $12 from Cummins. FS1000 is an upgrade of the filter they use, FS1212. I just used some scrap metal I had laying around for mounting it.

 

[Highfinance97]

could you hook me up with some part numbers??

and some other info for that filter setup



thanks

Cummins filter head 1" 14 thread 7/8" outlet/inlet or 10AN, Cummins part number 142784S, Baldwin number FB1311. Use with any 1-14 thread filter. Cummins sells a bracket for it, you could make your own or I think GDP sells that bracket too. Go to www.cumminsfiltration.com , catalog. Enter 142784S or FS1000 for specs on each. FS1000 is 10 micron stratapore media. I gave ~ $17 for it at the blue C. The Baldwin Xreference number is BF1259 I gave ~ $12 for one. Uses -10 AN o-ring sealed straight cut to AN flared adaptors. -10 AN pushlok fittings, hose.

What type of info would you like?

SFrey, did you just use a 12an to 10an reducer fitting on the fuel hose(s) between the bulkhead and inlet to the A1000? I'm gonna redo my system with a 12an bulkhead in the bottom of the tank, instead of the 10an on top.

my pick up tube is a 12an at the top of the tank,from there it goes to aeromotive's pro filter 12an in/out, the filter is connected to the pump with a 12 oring an to 10 oring an fitting. the inside dia of the 12 to 10 is the 12an size. meaning it dosn't step down to a 10 an on the inside. from the pump to the regulator is 10an, return from the regulator is also 10an.

[SFrey]

got my fuel module bulkheads finished, the large on is a 12an (for the 3/4 pick up tube) the small one is a 8an for the return.
