Hello,
I have an issue with my sending unit which indicates my tank is full which I know it is was not. I was needing fuel the other night, so I put in $30.00 (about 10 gallons) and now the needle seems to stay a tad bit above the full mark.
In addition, the truck seems to have started to act a bit sluggish and I am pretty sure there is a problem inside the fuel tank based on the info I have looked into via reading about this issue on this forum and some YouTube videos.
So I am working up to the task at hand of dropping the tank and checking for the problem, and while in there will probably do "the Hutch and Harpoon" mods.
I also am going to add a post tank fuel filter. I want to hear some feedback from this forum. I do not want FANCY OR EXPENSIVE - JUST CORRECT FUNCTIONALITY!
The post filter parts I am considering using here are the pictures and part numbers: Fleetguard 142784S Fuel Filter Head by Cummins Filtration (or mount head Fleetguard #3930618S); plus the mount bracket, Cummins Filtration.com part number: 3312054S; and a filter like the Fleetguard FF105.
OK ... does anyone know what the micron rating is on the two small tube filters that I will be eliminating from the pickup on the sending unit when I do the Hutch Mod?
The micron rating of the Fleetguard FF105 is 20 Microns per this info I found: "The Fleetguard FF105 Fuel Filter is stated as "Fleetguard fuel filter 91.94GPH flow rate & 20 micron rating". Will this filter be a adequate and simple pre-fuel pump debris catcher?
I am not planning on doing a fuel-bowl delete set-up here just need a workable solution if I remove those two tube filters as part of the Hutch Mod.
And finally what do you think? Any suggestions here?
I want it simple and I am not into fancy stuff or overkill, this is a work truck. Thanks!
