Product Description
This Driven Diesel RACE Fuel Delivery Kit for the 94-97 "OBS" 7.3L Powerstrokes is built to support whatever horsepower you are trying to reach, while still maintaining "Near OE" reliability. We have accomplished this by using two of the Bosch OE fuel pumps from a 7.3L Super Duty. These pumps were specifically designed to pump diesel fuel and have proven time and again that they are capable of running in excess of 100,000 miles without fail. By running two of these pumps in a "side by side" parallel configuration, we have doubled the volume of fuel we are capable of delivering to the engine, allowing us to support large injector upgrades without sacrificing reliability. Dual pumps also provides a level of redundancy for "high performance" trucks that are also asked to do regular duty as the family tow rig or daily driver. Coupled with our new Compact Fuel Pump & Filter Mounting Bracket and either our 5/8" Draw straw or our new Billet Sump, this kit provides everything you need to feed your hungry 7.3L. Our OBS Race Fuel Delivery kit features:
NOTE: We no longer include the billet sump with the sump version of our fuel delivery kits. We have sumps available as additional options, but this change allows our customers to use any sump from any vendor, provided it will work with the industry standard fittings we have included in our kit (1/2" NPT or #8 O-Ring Boss). Feel free to choose from the sumps we are offering as options, or to source your sump from any supplier of your choice. Please note that sumps ordered from Strictly Diesel may not ship with the fuel delivery kit, and will arrive in a separate box, as we are not stocking every sump we offer.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. This kit is ELIMINATES the fuel tank selector valve from the fuel path (both supply and return fuel)...you will need to choose which tank the truck will be running from (front, rear, in-bed, race fuel cell, etc). We HIGHLY RECOMMEND operating from the FRONT tank if possible, as it offers adequate clearance above the tank for the 5/8" pickup, and has a smoother bottom surface for the sump to seal against. If you will be using the rear tank (whether stock or aftermarket), some modifications to this kit or the fuel tank may be required to cleanly plumb the necessary 5/8" connections to supply the fuel pump. In any case, the fuel supply and fuel return lines will both need to bypass the selector valve and be permanently connected to the same tank. If you still need the capacity of both tanks (for driving range reasons), you will need to devise a method of transferring fuel from the secondary tank to the tank the truck is running from (balance tube, transfer pump, etc). We do not currently offer the parts to complete the connection of a second tank.
2. While we have done everything we can to make this the most compact fuel pump and filter mount on the market at only 13" wide, there are a few applications where the mount will not fit inside the frame. Before ordering, please check your truck for clearance between the front of the fuel tank and the rear of the transfer case (4x4) for the necessary 13"-15" of installation space. If your truck doesn't have enough space inside the frame, this kit CAN be used outside the frame. You will need to disconnect the parking brake cable and route it through our pump mount bracket (we suggest covering it with a piece of split rubber hose as well), and shorten the pump mount bolts that protrude through the rear of the bracket. There should be plenty of extra hose in the kit to cleanly route the fuel lines to this location as well.
3. The stock fuel filter bowl and mechanical fuel pump MUST be removed and a regulated return fuel system installed in their place to use this kit. This Driven Diesel OBS Race Fuel Delivery kit was specifically designed to supply fuel to our OBS Drive Diesel Regulated Retur, but it will work equally well with other regulated return fuel systems.
4. DO NOT use our mini ball valves on the #10 (5/8") side of this system. The internal passage of those valves is too small for the suction side of the dual pump setup! We now have a 5/8" Fuel Line Shut-Off Valve option for the suction side of the system, and you can use a mini ball valve on the outlet of the post-pump fuel filter if desired.
5. Due to the differences we have seen in the condition of body mounts on OBS trucks (distance from frame to body), our pump bracket may contact the underside of the vehicle floor. On the few trucks we have found clearance issues on, the contact was very minor and the easiest solution was to carefully push the floor up about 1/4" in the affected area.
* - We make every attempt possible to source and use as much U.S. made product/material as we possibly can...as long as doing so doesn't sacrifice the quality of the final product. Items marked with a * above have been modified or assembled by U.S. workers in a U.S. shop. Items marked with ** above were ENTIRELY produced from U.S. material, in U.S. shops, by U.S. workers. We can't always control where every component of one of our products comes from, but you count on us to keep looking for ways to increase the % of American Made parts and materials in the products that we produce.
If you need to order replacement fuel filters for this kit, you can find them in the "Related Products" section below. This kit uses the Baldwin BF1252 "Pre-Pump" Fuel Filter/Water Separator and the Baldwin BF7633 "Post Pump" Fuel Filter.
IMAGE NOTES: The high flow check valves pictured on the fuel pump outlets are no longer included. Through flow bench testing, we were able to determine that they were not needed, even when only one pump was running, so they were removed to reduce the cost of the kit. Also, some of the small parts and hardware may differ from the pictures above, we don't retake pictures each time small changes are made. The instructions included with the kit will have a complete and correct parts list.
