sump with stock hfcm

[Stillstrokin8]

How are you guys hooking up the 1/2" line to the stock hfcm? Fixing to sump my tank and wanna have it all figured out before I even order the sump

This is how I am doing mine. Will be installing in a week or so. Bought the parts from Summit.
Summit Racing Part Number: RUS-644000

Summit Racing Part Number: RUS-624020

Summit Racing Part Number: SUM-220786

Hope this helps.

If this doesn't keep up with my injectors I'll be installing a 6.7 pump in place of my current one. I'm also installing a Bean's Diesel Sump.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

Haha I'm looking at doing the same thing beans sump now and a 6.7 pump later... the first one is the one you plan to connect to the pump with? I wonder if I can use a hose clamp to tighten a 1/2" enough to seal if that fitting doesn't work

 

[White Stallion]

Yes the first connects to the pump 3/8" I believe. You will probably be fine with the hose clamp, I just have OCD and didn't want to do that.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

Haha I'm the same way... just wanna be able to do it when I go to do it

 

[Stillstrokin8]

I don't know if I want use beans since it's outlet is 3/8 not doesn't that mean it's the same size as stock? So if I go with a 6.7 pump it'll be 1/2" trying to suck through 3/8"?

 

[White Stallion]

Sorry I must have confused you. The beans sump is 1/2" outlet. The 6.0 pump is 3/8" inlet so you have to reduce the 1/2" line or try to compress it with a hose clamp. The 6.7 pump is 1/2" inlet so it will hook up with a hose clamp all day long. I've got some 190/100 injectors on the way so I'm installing a strictly diesel RR kit and the sump to see if it will keep up. I don't expect it to on a race tune but daily driver tune it should. I will eventually go 6.7 pump because if it fails I can get my truck back up and going at any ford dealer.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

Well their install vid is what leads me to believe it's 3/8 since they say you'd need a 3/8 npt to -8 an fitting

 

[White Stallion]

True I just watched the video and caught them saying that. Good point.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

I love their design but want a true 1/2" feed.... drill and tap?

 

[Stillstrokin8]

Well I emailed them and they said the 3/8 npt is the same as 1/2 hose so I'm going to run the beans sump to my hfcm see if that helps my psi issue till I can afford the 6.7 pump

 

[White Stallion]

Same here I'll keep you posted.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

10-4 thanks I imagine you'll have it done before me

 

[Stillstrokin8]

How do you plan to hook up the 6.7 pump? Think I may skip straight to it my hfcm is just to weak

Not sure if you read this thread but I'm gonna follow it and figure the rest out as I go along.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

I think I've read everyone but that one... sweet thanks not crazy bout just using spade connectors but guess I could fill it with silicone once the connections or made...

 

[White Stallion]

Yeah me either but I can fix that with something else or do the silicone like you said.

 

[Stillstrokin8]

Ahh I'm on the fence I really don't have the cash right now for this found a stock 6.0 lift pump motor for 100.00 brand new... may just do that for now sump it later then when my fuel demand increases jump for the 6.7 pump...

 

[White Stallion]

That's an idea if yours is weak. Mine only drops a few PSI on stock sticks so mine is good for now but those 190's are gonna kill it.
