Hey so I have been running regulated return for a year on my 96 7.3. Baby Swamp injectors, ts, kc turbo, and intercooler. I just towed heavy down to king of the hammers from Oregon(17k). I noticed as my tank got below half my egt would climb to like 1050 flat land od 65 ish mph. I switched to my second tank and saw my egts drop by like 75 to 100 degrees. I thought it was a fluke but after 1500 Miles. I decided it’s a thing. I felt my fuel filters at like a 1/4 tank at the gas station. To the hand I would estimate 100-110 degrees. Ball park. After fuel up they drop to 60 ish or whatever the diesel from the tank was. I could only tell when pulling on flat ground. The hills cause too much variation in egts anyway.
Has anyone experienced this before. Never noticed with the truck empty. I makes sense to me that at some point hot fuel equals slightly hotter egts samec as intake air. :joy:
