Unpaid Help
This has been done on an 06 Dmax, but the concept is just as applicable to Fords and Dodges.
Parts Needed:
Filter Stuff:
24770 NAPA filter head, 1"-14 thread, qty. 1
3674 NAPA fuel filter, 2 micron, qty. 1
Fittings:
801-8 Grey Parker Push-Lok hose, qty. 10'
30182-8-8B Parker Push-Lok 1/2" NPT Male Adapter, qty. 2
33482-8-8B Parker Push-Lok 1/2" Tube Adapter, qty. 2
Brass Compression Elbows 1/2" (Lowe's), qty. 2
4" X 12" steel plate and some black paint (Lowe's), qty. 1
Misc:
3/8"-20 X 4" bolts and locknuts, qty. 2
1/4"-20 X 1.5" bolts and locknuts, qty. 3
3/8" sheet rubber to use as an isolator behind steel mounting plate and frame
Procedure:
On a CC, locate the two vertically spaced holes already in the DS frame rail just in front of the fuel cooler. Measure and drill holes in steel plate to match. Drill three holes in steel plate to mount the filter head. Paint and assemble. Use teflon tape and install the two 30182-8-8B male adapters into the filter head and tighten. Install the two plugs into the unused ports of the filter head with teflon tape.
Remove the 1/2" steel fuel line from the spring clips holding it to the frame rail so that you have room to work. Using a mini tubing cutter, make an incision in the fuel line in between two of the mounting clips. Remove about a 4" section of fuel line. Warning: fuel will siphon out of the tank. Have a piece of rubber hose ready to slip over the tank end of the cut line to hold up higher than the level of the fuel tank.
Mount the steel plate to the frame rail as shown using the 4" bolts and locknuts.
Install the two brass compression elbows on the fuel line as shown and tighten. Install the two 33482-8-8B tube adapters into the brass elbows and tighten.
Measure the lengths of hose needed and cut. Moisten the end of the hose in clean water to lubricate and install one end onto the barbed inlet port on the filter head. Install the other end to the adapter on the fuel line closest to the tank. Install the other length of hose to the barbed outlet port on the filter head and leave hanging into a bucket or container. Using compressed air and a rag, blow into the fuel filler neck to start the siphon of fuel through the filter (this keeps air to a minimum in the system). Once a stream of fuel is coming out, install the outlet hose onto the other barbed adapter on the fuel line.
Start the engine and allow to idle until the engine dies. Bleed air from OEM filter under hood and re-start. Clean up and :cheers2:
I'll post some more pics later on...
