I think we can all agree when I say that the fuel these days isn’t what it used to be. With that being said, it is important that we protect our investment. So what if you haven’t upgraded injectors, turbos, or anything like that. Even stock parts are expensive and the fuel we put in these trucks daily could be contaminated. Driven Diesel sees this and offers a great insurance policy.
The Driven Diesel Fuel Tank / Pre-Pump Kit (commonly referred to as the “Hutch Mod”) is the first step in the fuel system upgrade process. “This kit includes all of the parts necessary to eliminate “air leaks” in the fuel circuit before the electric fuel pump (suction side) and add additional fuel filtration,” said Gary Manscher, in Strictly Diesel Marketing. “The air in diesel fuel causes noisy operation and can damage the fuel injectors. This kit fits both the Super Duty Trucks and Excursions.”
This Kit Includes:
• Extended Fuel Tank Pickup Tube
• Extended Fuel Tank Return Tube
• 15′ New Gates 3/8″ Fuel Line From Tank to Pump
• Optional 25′ of Hose Total
• High Quality Spin-On Filter Head
• Baldwin Fuel Filter / Water Separator
• Driven Diesel Heavy Duty S.S. Custom Filter Mount
• Complete Hardware Package including All Fittings, Nuts, Bolts, and Washers
• Installation Instructions
“This kit is only rated for B20 Bio-Diesel. This is primarily due to the B20 rating Baldwin places on their filters and not the hose we’ve chosen to use. We are not aware of any appropriate pre-pump style filters that will work with higher concentrations of Bio-Diesel. If you are running Bio-Diesel, please be mindful of your filter service intervals and periodically check your hoses for signs of damage from the fuel.”
