Eliminate the dreaded "air in fuel" issues that plague the 7.3L Powerstroke and cause noisy injectors and a rough idle. This "Hutch Mod" kit is the ultimate reliability upgrade for owners keeping their factory fuel bowl, providing a rock-solid suction side that protects your injectors and smooths out engine performance. Engineered and mostly made in the USA, it’s the definitive fix for the weak links in your Super Duty’s aging fuel tank assembly.

Notes

• This kit is NOT required with installations utilizing an AirDog or FASS.
  
• VAN OWNERS LOOK HERE!!! This kit was originally designed for the Super Duty Pickup and Excursion, but can be retrofitted to the E-Series van. The van fuel tank has a baffled pan around the fuel pickup assembly in the fuel tank that interferes with the extended return, and the installation instructions were written for a Pickup/Excursion. If you wish to use this kit in your van, you will NOT be able to use the extended return tube, and your installation may differ somewhat from the instructions due to the location of the van fuel tank and differences in the van frame (the kit does fit). If you have an extended-length van, or you simply want to be sure you won't have any issues, we recommend ordering the optional longer hose length, as the vans have the fuel tank behind the rear axle, like the cab and chassis trucks do. Also, van fuel tanks have a liner in them that is notorious for a condition called "Delamination". Delamination is a problem with the fuel tank and has nothing to do with the installation of this product. If you purchase this kit and install it in a van, you are doing so with the understanding that any issues with tank delamination are not the responsibility of Driven Diesel, Strictly Diesel, or Dirty Diesel Customs.
• This kit is ONLY rated for B20 Bio-Diesel. This is primarily due to the B20 rating Baldwin places on their filters. 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.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning additional performance upgrades that may require you to run a larger-than-stock fuel pump, or if you are planning to install a FUEL BOWL DELETE REGULATED RETURN, you need to be looking at one of their Pre/Post Fuel Filter Kits. They cost a little more up front, but the Pre/Post kits allow for immediate removal of the OEM fuel filter bowl and have a clear and easy upgrade path to configurations that support Larger Fuel Injectors.
• This Pre-Pump Fuel Filter Kit is ONLY recommended if you are planning to stick with the OEM In-Valley Fuel Filter. This kit will save you some money when sticking with the OEM filter bowl.
