Anybody else ever try this
What do you think
Here's what I think.
Just a few questions for you. Why do you think the engineers at Ford (after building 100,000's of vehicles like yours (over 100 years) made the engineering decisions that they did? (submersing the main fuel injection pump in the fuel tank (IMO, using fuel for cooling purposes))
You, (IMO, for economy and ease of installation) have decided to change that.
Now, for reasons that you mention, have had multiple recent fuel pump failures with YOUR designs on your 1997 F53 chassis which left you stranded.
Maybe I'm the dummy here, but, . . . . my suggestion would be to put the vehicle back to the way it originally came from the factory using (OEM) factory parts. After all, . . . . how many years did it last before YOU . . . . . "fixed" it?
