Paul I think possibly what you are seeing with the Metrium is due to shape of the fuel tank. I have the std 26 gal tank on mine, when I did Metrium years ago; I filled the tank 2 gallons at a time it took 6 gallons of fuel from empty to move float, which is about right considering the baffle...

Basically an impulse pump that self regulates flow delivery rate, which can cause a mechanical gauge to pulse at low demand, it stays steady at higher demand and part of reason I have (2) the factory 32gph, and the Walbro FRB-5 45 gph on mine I can select 1 or other or both running parallel to...

Who would have thunk decades after the venerable 6.2/6.5 platform was deemed a POS by all that thought they new everything; so many would still be on the road, with more power out of them than prevailing wisdom thought possible. I'm still loving my 1st one a 98 6.5 that I have owned 2000, my...

Here is the Vac switch info, I'm not sure if still available, Amazon showing them out of stock https://www.rg-group.com/store/product/rk-20163/racor-vacuum-switch-kit-rk-20163

Ryan same site 60 Gph filter body, a bit taller that the 45 but less $$$ 🤨 https://www.jmesales.com/racor-400-series-diesel-spin-on-fuel-filter-60-gph-30-0-39-psi-r60p/

For other readers Snow & I chatted on the phone earlier today I have been on storm disaster recovery mission work again since last Sunday, he was a little mixed up in his understanding of filtration the smaller the # the more finer the filtration, I still run the 70 micron "sock" on mine, into a...

I tried to post this additional comment, but time to edit had expired. OEM "socks" are washable remember Mom always said "wear clean socks", but with the vintage of these trucks you may want to have a new OEM style in hand, just in case the mesh of screen is no longer pliable or already broken.

Humorous & sad (for me) so many "experts" back in the day telling me FTB was waste of time when I came up with the idea, and now so many out there selling kits for it (sadly) I didn't think to patent/sell it, one of the Nay-sayers early on was Bill Heath, yet he wound up with it on the LSR at...

Ryan give me a holler you have my # I have been running Metrium rod for 10+ years with OEM sock which is 70 micron BTW, but I also run a 30 micron Racor filter/water sep. on frame rail prior to lift pumps, and stock 6 micron nominal (factory rating) in the FFM relocated to driver side fender on...

My apologies for being late to this conversation, I have been in North MS doing ice storm damage recovery work with the mission team I belong to. Don't forget the 6.2/6.5 TRL , my 6.5 brothers. https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/forums/6-2-and-6-5-technical-reference-library.218/ Time setting...

I run a Air Dog on my (06) 5.9 Cummins as AD/FASS did not exist in 2000 when I built my system on my 6.5, it took until 2025 before letting me down and I'm not 100% that the IP optic just didn't isn't let go due to age, as inside the filter (clean side) was clean. The Racor pre-filter manages...

I have been toying with idea of a liquid filled mechanical gauge, copper tube "shrouded" inside a rubber fuel hose to dissipate any leaks in the line, we run "shrouded" fuel manifolds on ship and aircraft jet engines rigid tube over tube to mitigate pressurized fuel spray mist on a hot jet...
