do you have any idea why the fuel is getting so hot? i concur that adding the fuel cooler will help, but why is it so hot?

i mean this was never an issue on duel fueled six fours which moved quite a lot of fuel.

Dual fuelers. This is probably an issue with more than just you. There is alot of heat generated with a hpfp. And along with your big ol lpfp.

But. It may not be as bad as you think it is. I kinda doubt your at 140... I could be wrong tho!. Just making a guestamite.

Below a half tank the filters are almost too hot to touch, that's about as scientific as I've gotten with it.

I'm driving it to work tomorrow, I'll get a temp gun on the way home and see how hot it gets during my commute

I'm gonna say 118-120...

How do you measure the temp? Just shoot the LP filter with the temp gun?

That's the plan

Gonna need some o-rings first though.

When ya'll O'ring these, what head gaskets do you use???

Very, very nice build BTW!!! :rockon:

With no response to my question, I'm wondering is this suppose to be some top secret information??? I ask this question as I come from the high performance gas engine world, when O'ringing gas motors we usually use aftermarket copper head gaskets... So I was just kinda wondering is this how you guys go about this or is there something else available that you guys use in these situations???

And by all means if this is a touchy subject I can respect that, but at the very least please let it be known that's the case!!!

And thanks!!!

Morgan's a busy guy, he was posting in here to keep me up to date more than anything.

Pretty sure they're just stock gaskets.

Half hour drive home, then let it idle in the driveway for 5 mins to see how heat soaked it would get.

Yikes.

That's hot bob!

CATDiezel · Jul 26, 2016

Did you happen to shoot the tank to see what it was at?

130

Six_Sloww · Jul 26, 2016

This should help

WhiteMamba_Scorpion · Jul 26, 2016

Very nice! I might need a parts list from ya haha

CATDiezel · Jul 26, 2016

I will be very interested in how much change (deltaT) you get across that setup.

Great job on not wasting anytime!!!

If you don't get the results your looking for when you do this, choke it down with a smaller section of hose or an orifice of some sort to slow the flow threw the cooler.

The cooler should fix your problem, mine did the exact same thing. Mounted a fuel and trans cooler in the bed. All of the factory fuel cooling system is gone, just runs through the bed cooler on its way back to the tank. No more issues
