Why and How Many Truck Owners Convert 7.3 Liter Power Strokes to Electric Fuel Delivery

While Ford's 7.3 liter Power Stroke engine is a favorite among truck owners, it does have some widely recognized weaknesses. The mechanical fuel pump included by default with that engine, for example, does not always live up to the expectations of owners who demand a great deal from their trucks.

Switching to a fully electric fuel delivery system will often make sense in such situations. The Driven Diesel COMPLETE OBS Electric Fuel System kit provides everything needed to make this productive move in a single package.

A Universally Acknowledged Problem With the 7.3 Liter Power Stroke's Design

A mechanical fuel pump driven by the movement of the engine itself can be preferable to the alternatives in certain cases. The simplicity of the arrangement can contribute to reliability and help keep costs down, for example.

Ford's engineers were likely thinking of such benefits when they chose to equip the 7.3 liter Power Stroke with a mechanical fuel pump. Unfortunately, the relatively low maximum fuel pressure achievable by that pump has frustrated many truck owners over the years.

All the Parts Required to Convert to a Fully Electric Fuel Delivery System

As a result, it has become common to switch the 7.3 liter Power Stroke to an electric fuel delivery system. In the past, that required buying a suitable selection of parts and making sure they would all function well together.

Parts company driven diesel decided to do something about this issue with the introduction of its COMPLETE OBS Electric Fuel System package. That kit includes all the parts required to convert a 7.3 liter Power Stroke engine to a fully electric fuel delivery system, such as:

Fuel pump. Since an electric fuel pump can be driven at any desired rate even when a truck is off, it is capable of priming an engine even before it gets turned over at all. Electric pumps can also provide high, consistent pressure at any rate of engine operation.

Fuel filters. Switching to an electric fuel system means being able to move a truck's fuel filters to more convenient locations, as well.

This comprehensive kit provides all that is required to convert any 7.3 liter Power Stroke to an electric fuel delivery system. By making things simple and easy for truck owners, this package has proved its worth many times over.
