[QUOTE="yavorssj, post: 423510, member: 7819"] [b]![/b] Yep. the filter head is hooked up properly (per the instructions that came with the kit. Also, I am on the correct tube at the sending unit. Regarding having a lack of volume... I totally agree that this is my issue. I.E. ---> It idles fine, but bogs down whenever I place a demand on the fuel system. It simply cannot keep up... When I pulled the fuel line off the downstream side of the filter and put in the gas (diesel) can and ran the engine, I kind of figured that I eliminated the new pre-filter and tank "hutch" mod work I had done. That, and I had partially dropped the tank to double check for a pinched line. Everything was OK... This is why I am leaning towards the fuel pump. The new fuel line that came with the kit is 5/8 I.D. That is quite a bit of volume for the pump to fill and I figured that it would be sucking air for a while until the fuel filled the line. Maybe that pushed an old fuel pump over the edge and was enough to kill it after 200K miles of life? Also, FWI ---> My RR kit is the Driven Diesel kit with the bowl delete and post pump fuel filter. Like I (and you) mentioned, it was running great until I decided to drop the tank and do the "Hutch" mod and pre-pump fuel filter. Follow on question... Is the fuel pressure supposed to fall off like that when I shut down the engine? Thanks for all the help so far... It is much appreciated!!! Steve Y. [/QUOTE]
