Thank you. Someone else that's studied the system.

Hard to see in the middle of your fan shroud where it bolts together on the driver side..
easier to see if your under the truck.. ita electeic ofcourse

So basically it works like the engine cooling system... Stands to reason than that a guy could delete that setup and just use the factory system if he was worried about it being an issue. Sounds like less bullchit under the hood and a cleaner setup

With higher temps but yes you could do that.

Exactly

temps without a cooler couldbe high without the cooler if you have a fuel bowl...uonestly its cheap as hell to ditchit so do both... Justto stay on the safe size

How much higher are we talking here? 5,15,30*?? Is there a certain temp the actuator has to be? With Dustin's results it doesn't sound like it but maybe over a longer time period... I dunno

Beef Taco's thread is ***ked LOL

The factory pump doesn't even turn on until the inlet fuel temps hit 160 so basically that coolant is stagnent most of the time unless your.towing heavy with low fuel levels

learn something new everyday i guess. where does the coolant line to the actuator go to?

Also forgot to mentiom for all you twin turbo guys who dont want to pull your turbos... The lines on the motor for your supply after the fuel bowl is 3/8s and also its 3/8s to the fuel cooler. so you can use tubing cutter and tube fitting to do this.... Just cleaner the other way...

that being said... having a remote cooler (like ive mentioned before) would probably be a plus?

Your confusing yourself lol actuator and cooler is all one system... Has its own pump and cooler...

So actuator temps are gonna be high regardless if it's measured off fuel temp. I'd say delete it, tie into the engine cooling system if you are worried

Ok stock set up with a fuel bowl... Is say leave the cooler on place... Honestly it wont clean up your compartment that much... If you do delete the fuel bowl... Then yes ditch it and dump it the return strait to the tanl... The amount of fuel in the tank will cool the fuel... Keep in mind the fuel returns threw the head and then goes just upstream of the hpfp return then to the cooler then to the fuel bowl.when the bowl is deleted you hve a lot more fuel to heat up.. I personally don't see it happening unless you run your truck at less then a 1/8th of a tank and if you do that we need to have another talk...
