fuel psi question~!~!~!

[what a mess]

can a 6.0 run on 0 psi???

 

[Snake]

Yes. It won't run well, but it'll run for a little.

Your injectors will eat themselves in the process as well.


.

 

[ncdzl]

Theoretically it'll run on any positive pressure...

But as stated...the injectors and probably hfcm will die soon.

 

[what a mess]

well thanks you for the responses fellas that what a was feared of I figured I will prolly get rdy to a set or injectors rebuilds

 

[ncdzl]

Why do you ask in the first place?

 

[what a mess]

well 2 months after I installed my fuelab my fuel pressure dropped to 0 and I thought I gage took a crap but I found out later it wasnt my gauge =( heh

I'll assume you drove it very little to none at all after noticing this?

 

[what a mess]

heh a week or 2 I never thought it woulda ran with 0 psi

And you didn't notice anything wrong? Not being a smart a$$...if you couldn't tell something was up odds are you weren't at 0psi

truck ran the same but it was wintertime and I don't drive like an ass on the street and I drive even less in the wintertime so with no wot runs or nothn it ran normal just dd it

Odds are you're ok at this point. Need to address the issue asap though.

When fuel pressure approaches single digits and lower you should experience lack of power and rough running along with a louder motor. Shouldn't have enough power to get out of its own way and get pretty violent running


But that is my experience from the couple times the filters gelled up and I limped the truck home

 

[what a mess]

yea it it was odd it ran just fine and didn't run ruff at idle either it was very odd butt the fuel lab is at the booboo doctor and the stock pump is hooked back up

 

[what a mess]

the second odd thing is that the fuel lab somehow was pushen fuel threw the wires push it all the way up to the relay inder the hood that burnt up and never shut the pump off so burnt the pump up heh

 

[Racerorr]

What is recommended fuel pressure for a 6.0?

 

[Snake]

55 psi, plus or minus 5 psi
