DIY fuel system

[95-SimpsonOBS]

Im wanting to upgrade my fuel pump, I bought a SD lift pump from a buddy of mine and plan to convert it to my truck, looking for a small build out this but mostly cheap. Anyone have a parts list or a thread you can send me to so I can get some barings on where to go from here? any help appreciated!

Are you converting an OBS to electronic fuel? Or building a better fuel system for a super duty?

If looking for OBS e-fuel conversion, here is an awesome write-up by TomS:

Converting OBS to Electric fuel, thanks for the link thats exactly what I needed

 

[Arisley]

OK. I am moving this to the OBS section also. Might get some more feedback there.

No problem. Good luck. A good way to save money and still get quality parts is to use brake line for the lines, you can buy it is straight pieces from any auto parts house. Use compression fittings from Home Depot to connect them.

You can buy a cheap tubing bender from Harbor Freight or Northern tool to custom bend the lines to fit. Use a coat hanger to bend for a pattern and then bend the tubing to match. Pretty easy and looks good.

Whats a good price for a new SD pump?

Riff raff has them for $152

[mjonesjr]

That is a pretty good price for a new pump.

You can usually get good used ones with the bracket and wiring harness for around $100.

You kind of dug this one out of the grave. Just punch "obs 7.3 efuel" in a search bar and you will come across all the information you will need. There are many hose, fitting, regulator, pump and so on choices.

 

[m j]

fancy hose and fitting are listed in 16ths
so -08 is 8/16" = 1/2"

personally I try and minimize the use of hose and go with stainless tubing where ever possible

I can give you a complete parts list if needed

Could you email me a complete parts list and diagram to efuel conversion 97 powerstroke

I doubt this guy will see your post, since it's dated 11 years ago.

There is a pretty decent list right after the post you quoted...
