replacing fuel lines on my 379 pete

Happy fathers day.

know many people would think that replacing the fuel lines is going to change for the better quite a lot and some times it does, other times you don't feel it but still does, but the main thing is at this time most of these trucks have a lot of miles and the worst thing is to get stranded in the middle of no where over a simple hose and that can be very expensive.

I'm one bracket away from totally re arrange the rest of the fuel system, but it would happen soon , maybe next week, I also order an AirDog, that should be here in a few days too, my secondary filter base is going to be this one.

 

Must be something to that, a lot of late model John Deere's come from the factory like that.

 

I gets really hot here in the summer, so the cooler the fuel the better it runs.

Saturday while getting fuel the temperature went from 98 to 107 in about 15 and than it went back to 92, but man i felt the sun on my back only comparable to the Kalifornia, Nevada heat, good thing it was just a few minutes.

My working range is with in South Florida, so we only see temps in the hi 40's for couple of hours few times a year, very few times.

 

[QUOTE="prerunner404, So would the return line off the back of the head go into one side of the cooler and then feed back out the other side of the cooler back to the tanks?[/QUOTE]
yes.
I always wanted to cool the fuel coming out of the tank before it got to engine, but so many people was doing it after the engine and it made total sense, now the fuel tank is not nearly warm, as it used to be very hot not warm.

 

prerunner404, just wanted to mention something, just in case you don't see the results I've got.

keep in mind where I live the temperature is always at high 80's to mid 90's, but humid, which means once you start rolling it feels cooler, so that's why I see 40 degree difference from before.
I know Arizona is hot and dry, I don't even want to remember the time I lived in Vegas where I had a hard time breathing from the dry heat.

 

go back to post #27 and there's a picture of it.
