Simple Solution Stops Powerstroke Deadheading

Simple Solution Stops Powerstroke Deadheading ENGINES You can eliminate “deadhead” problems in 1999 through 2003 Ford Powerstroke engines by installing a Fuel Rail Crossover FRx kit from Riffraff Diesel Performance and improve mileage power and reduce noise The FRx kit doesn’t require cutting lines or installing compression fittings “A 7 3L Ford engine has no way for air in the fuel to get back to the tank and it gets trapped at the injectors ” explains Clay Note Riffraff Diesel Performance “There are a lot of really complex systems on the market that solve the problem but they cost between $500 and $600 Ours is a simple bolt-on kit that costs less than $200 ” The FRx simply connects the two heads to provide a return path for trapped air The “complex” systems require major modifications of the fuel system and at least partial disassembly of the engine Once modification is completed it can’t be easily undone “You can install our system in your own driveway in a short amount of time ” explains Note “If you want to remove it simply replace the original equipment There are no permanent modifications to anything ” After more than 1 000 sales Note reports 100 percent satisfaction among customers Although the FRx is positioned simply as eliminating the deadheading common with Powerstroke engines it has other benefits too “We don’t claim more horsepower or better mileage ” he says “Those are just side effects of an engine that is running smoother and idling quieter Users also experience better throttle response and longer injector life ” The list price for the new second generation FRx with Parker 304 Stainless Steel Braided lines is $187 37 Owners of first generation FRx kits can upgrade for only $100 Note adds that the newer Ford Powerstroke 6L engines suffer from similar deadheading problems He says Riffraff Diesel Performance is working on a similarly simple solution for that product range Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Riffraff Diesel Performance Inc P O Box 416 Eagle Point Ore 97524 ph 541 879-1052;
