    Low (fuel) pressure switch that closes at <= 5 PSI

    This is for a 1996 6.5L TD ambulance which weighs approx. 12,500 lbs. Currently using a 1993 lift pump and have been happy with the higher pressure, but I want more. Right now idle is 9-10 PSI but it will drop down to 1-2 PSI at WOT. I plan to have 2 lift pumps inline. One will run constantly...

    6.5l diesel leak dripping from bottom of starter. How to locate the problematic line

    On my 1996 K3500 6.5L diesel I noticed severe dripping from under the starter. It smells and feels like diesel fuel. The fuel lines have never been changed. I know there are return lines going back to the fuel tank. Is there a map or diagram showing all the fuel lines in this truck? I've posted...

    Fuel sending unit fitting

    I’ve got a 95 c1500 that I’ve been finishing up a lq9 swap. Im starting to tackle the fuel system and can’t seem to find the size and thread pitch of the 2 fittings coming off the sending unit.

    Using PTFE tape or Teflon tape on metal fuel line fittings?

    I can't find a M16X1.5 Male or female to barb that come with an "o ring seal", other than female pair at Leroy Diesel which is $28 after shipping. I need one female and one male. This is to be used behind fuel filter only (at LP) on a 6.5l K3500. Could these tapes be used as a substitute? The...

    Tapping into fuel line behind lift pump?

    I need to connect a 12v diesel inside of my ambulance build which is a 1996 K3500 with the 6.5. It runs on 12v and diesel fuel and has it's own fuel pump, and will only consume 0.1-0.35 liters/hour according to spec although I haven't tested that. The heater comes with a separate tank that I can...

    Double Flaring Stainless

    So I've been trying to double flare some new 3/8 stainless steel fuel line and it keeps slipping through the clamp portion of the tool. I went and borrowed another tool and had the same problem. Even got some extra leverage on the nuts and cranked everything down tight. The line still slipped...
