Product Information

The Fuel Tank / Pre-Pump / Hutch Mod Kit is designed to fit 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel Pickup, Excursion, and Van models. This kit includes various fittings and assemblies necessary for installation. Please inspect the contents of the kit thoroughly before starting the installation process. If there are any damaged or missing items, we may request photographs of the packaging or parts to address the situation properly. It is essential to note that the installation guide was last updated on 9/25/2023, and we appreciate your cooperation.

The kit contents include:

  • 1 Fuel Tank / Pre-Pump / Hutch Mod Kit
  • 1 15′ or 25′ -6 Hose
  • 2 TK-05-290-12-HBUS
  • 2 06NC-06FJX
  • 1 10MB-06MJ
  • 1 DD-BFFH
  • 1 BF1212 Bracket
  • 1 Bracket
  • 8 1/4-20 Nylok
  • 11 1/4 Washer
  • 2 1/4-20×4 Bolt
  • 1 1/4-20×3.5 Bolt
  • 1 WGN06SS
  • 1 WGN02SS
  • Paperwork

Please note that the installation of this kit requires accessing the fuel tank. You can either lower the fuel tank from the bottom or remove the pickup bed if installed on a truck. Both options involve working with heavy objects in awkward positions, so it is crucial to have adequate help before attempting this part of the installation. If you feel that the installation is beyond your capability, we strongly recommend taking the kit to a qualified mechanic for installation.
E-SERIES VAN NOTE: This kit can be installed on an E-Series Van, but the extended return tube will not fit due to the baffle pan around the pickup assembly in the van fuel tank. It is essential to know that van fuel tanks are notorious for delamination (failure of the interior coating of the tank), and this kit does not cause fuel tank delamination. Driven Diesel is not responsible for any fuel tank delamination.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Be cautious when installing this kit as it involves accessing the Fuel Tank, which requires working with heavy and awkward components. Ensure you have adequate help available when preparing to work with these parts.
  2. We highly recommend setting the fuel tank on a pair of 2x4s while working on the sending unit assembly. Place the 2x4s under the areas where the fuel tank mounting straps would normally be. This will allow the fuel tank to sag in the middle, simulating its position when installed in the vehicle and filled with fuel.
  3. Please note that these instructions and photos primarily focus on installation in a pickup truck, as it is the most common vehicle this kit fits. Excursion and Van installations may vary due to differences in fuel tank location and style.
  4. To install this kit, you have two options for accessing the top of the fuel tank:
    • Remove the tank from the bottom of the vehicle
    • Remove the bed of the truck (except Excursion or Van)
  5. Depending on the year of your vehicle, you may need to use a set of fuel line removal tools from the pickup assembly (see Fig. 1).
  6. Before attempting to remove the tank from underneath the vehicle, remember to disconnect the wiring to the level sender.
  7. In some cases, it may be necessary to jack up the vehicle to facilitate the installation process.

Thank you for purchasing the Driven Diesel Fuel Tank /Pre-Pump Kit. Your kit should have the above-mentioned items for your installation. Please read and familiarize yourself with this manual fully before proceeding with the installation of the kit. Also, always work safely. Make sure there is plenty of light and adequate ventilation available, and allow yourself several hours to complete the installation. Finally, the installation of this kit requires exposing the fuel system. Diesel fuel is flammable, and its vapor is explosive; therefore common sense dictates that there be no smoking or open flame within 50 feet of the workspace. If any fuel spills, contain it and clean it up immediately. Do not let any fuel stand on painted surfaces of your vehicle, or damage to the finish may result. Installation of this kit also requires accessing the fuel tank. This can be accomplished by either lowering the fuel tank from the bottom, or if installing on a truck, removing the pick- up bed. Both options require working with heavy objects in awkward positions. Make sure you have adequate help before attempting this part of the installation. We strongly recommend that you look over these instructions completely, and if you feel the installation is beyond your capability, we recommend you take this kit to a qualified mechanic to install the product.

E-SERIES VAN NOTE

This kit can be installed on an E-Series Van. The extended return tube will not fit due to the baffle pan around the pickup assembly in the van fuel tank. Van fuel tanks are NOTORIOUS for “delamination” (failure of the interior coating of the tank). THIS KIT DOES NOT CAUSE, AND DRIVEN DIESEL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, FUEL TANK DELAMINATION!

Installation

  • REMINDER: Be careful when installing this kit. It involves accessing the Fuel Tank, and any way you do that will involve working with heavy and awkward components. Make sure you have adequate help standing by when preparing to work with these parts.
  • Also, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you set the fuel tank on a pair of 2x4s while working on the sending unit assembly.
  • Locate the 2x4s under the areas where the fuel tank mounting straps would normally be. This will allow the fuel tank to sag in the middle in the same manner it will when installed in the vehicle and filled with fuel.
  • Finally, these instructions and photos are mostly geared toward installation in a pickup truck, as those are the most common vehicles this kit fits. Excursion and Van installations will vary some, based mostly on the difference in the fuel tank location and style.
  1. To install this kit, you will need access to the top of the fuel tank. There are two ways to accomplish this. One is to remove the tank from the bottom of the vehicle. The other is to remove the bed of the truck (except Excursion or Van).
  2. Depending on the year of your vehicle you may need to use a set of fuel line removal tools (3/8” blue and 5/16” gray – available at your local auto parts store) to disconnect the lines from the pickup assembly. (see Fig. 1)
  3. Don’t forget to disconnect the wiring to the level sender before trying to remove the tank from underneath the vehicle.
  4. Depending on your specific vehicle, it may be necessary to jack up the vehicle in order to slide the fuel tank out.
  5. Using a wooden block and a hammer, gently tap the plastic ring holding the fuel pickup assembly to the top of the tank. Tap the ring so it rotates in a counter-clockwise direction (see Fig. 2). A large rubber “strap wrench” will also work well for this. TIP: Place the retainer ring in the sun and the tank in the shade; this will help with reassembly.
  6. Carefully remove the fuel pickup assembly from the tank. Be sure the plastic “umbrella” comes out with the assembly. It may fall off of the assembly, requiring retrieval from the bottom of the tank. If it is broken, locate and remove as many pieces as possible!
  7. NOTE: You must be careful with the float-sender assembly. It is fragile; the element is ceramic and can break very easily. It is helpful to find a way to clamp the pickup assembly in a vise or other device to hold the assembly while working on it.
  8. Before starting any modifications, carefully measure the distance between the bottom of the fuel pickup screen and the metal cap on the pickup assembly. Note this dimension, as it will be used to adjust the pickup umbrella later (see Fig. 3). If your pickup screen was broken off and floating around in the tank, you will need to take a measurement from the top of the fuel tank sending unit mounting surface to the bottom of the fuel tank (with the tank sitting on 2x4s as mentioned above). Add 1/8-1/4” to this measurement and record for later.
  9. Remove the umbrella by sliding it off of the mixing valve. It may or may not have a clamp on it. Carefully cut the hose clamp on the return hose from the mixing valve, and remove the hose from the steel line (see Fig. 4).
  10. Now slide the mixing valve off of the fuel pick-up line (see Fig. 5).
  11. You are now ready to begin assembling the components of the kit. Begin by locating the new fuel return line (part # TK-05-290-12-HBUS). Slide the pre-installed compression fitting over the end of the return elbow on the pick-up assembly, orient the line to clear the float assembly, and carefully tighten the fitting until the fitting no longer rotates freely around the tube. Now tighten the fitting 1 to 1-1/4 turns past this point, or until the nut bottoms out on the fitting (see Fig. 6).
  12. Refer to Fig. 7 and remove the strainer screen from the bottom of the plastic umbrella. We need to modify the pickup assembly to prevent air from leaking past the secondary suction on the side of the pickup. Using a 3/8” drill bit, carefully ream the plastic tube until it is clear. You may be able to accomplish this step without using a drill motor (see Fig. 8).
  13. Locate the small hose clamp (WGN02SS) and slide it over the top of the pickup umbrella. Now locate the 3/8” Suction Adapter Assembly (Part # TK-06-03-HBUS), which is a 3” stainless steel tube in a 3/8” steel compression fitting. Insert the tube end into the top of the Pickup Umbrella, and push the metal adapter down into the Pickup until the nut on the fitting rests against the plastic tube. Tighten the hose clamp until snug. The end of the metal tube should be even with the bottom of the plastic tube (see Fig. 9).
  14. Slide the compression end of the pickup tube over the steel line on the factory unit, and HAND TIGHTEN just enough to hold the assembly in place. Refer to the measurement you took in step # 6, measure the new assembly.
  15. If the new dimension is too long, you may need the cut the stock steel suction line in order to make the measurement match the original dimension. A tubing cutter, a hacksaw, or a rotary tool can be used. Try the assembly first! You may not need to cut the line at all. If the measurement is too short, loosen the hose clamp and slide the Pickup Assembly down to the correct dimension. Don’t slide the Pickup down too far! The steel tube on the adaptor seals off the Secondary Suction port. If the Pickup is slid down too far, the tube will no be able to seal the port, and you will again have air intrusion into the fuel system. Make sure to snap the bottom screen back onto the Pickup unit when finished.
  16. Once the adjustments are complete, tighten the fitting until the tube no longer rotates freely, and tighten 1 to 1-1/4 turns past that point (or until the nut bottoms out on the fitting). Recheck all fittings & measurements and make sure the final assembly looks like Fig. 10.
    • NOTE: If you have not done so already, this is a great time to modify your fuel tank to allow for easier and faster filling. This step is OPTIONAL but HIGHLY recommended, it will save you time at the pump. The easiest and cleanest tool for this is a PVC pipe cutter with a good sharp blade. Locate the large fuel tank fill hose and accompanying vent hose. If you feel inside the tank where they enter, you will find that they extend several inches down into the tank. While filling the tank, these will become covered in fuel before the tank is full, making the fuel foam up the fill neck quicker and shutting off the pump nozzle. Using the PVC pipe cutter, shorten both of these to as close to the top of the tank as possible.
  17. Carefully install the fuel pickup assembly back into the tank, making sure that the locating tab is in the notch in the tank and the rubber seal is positioned correctly.
    • IMPORTANT NOTE: When you reinstall the sending unit, the pickup screen should contact the floor of the fuel tank BEFORE the mounting surface of the sending unit contacts the gasket surface of the tank. You should have to push the sender down 1/8-1/4” to reach the gasket. This puts the necessary tension in the pickup screen to ensure that it is ALWAYS touching the bottom of the tank, even when the tank is full of fuel and the center is sagging lower than it is right now.
  18. Using the same block and hammer or strap wrench technique, install the ring in a clockwise direction and tighten just enough to secure and seal the pickup assembly to the tank. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! TIP: It can be difficult to get the ring started on the tank. One way is to identify where the threads start on the lock ring, and make a small mark at that point on the outside of the ring. Then, look to where the threads start on the tank, and try to align the two pieces together at those points. This way, you are not rotating the ring unnecessarily looking for the threads to lock up. Also, make sure you have some down-pressure on the ring as well as rotational force. This will hold the ring down, and keep it from trying to “pop out” of the grooves.
  19. Locate the (2) 10MB-06MJ fittings, (5) O-Ring Plugs and the Fuel Filter Head.
  20. Using Fig. 11 as a guide, install the fittings and plugs securely into the filter head. If you are installing the filter on the OUTSIDE of the frame, you will need to flip the fittings to the opposite (in or out) port in each side (so that IN faces the rear and OUT faces the front).
  21. Locate the fuel filter mounting bracket, back plate, washers and nuts.
  22. Using (5) 1/4-20 Nylok Nuts and (5) 1/4” Flat Washers, attach the fuel filter head to the fuel filter mounting bracket studs and tighten securely.
  23. Insert the (2) 1/4-20×4 bolts with 1/4” washers into the top holes of the fuel filter mounting bracket. Using Fig. 12 as a guide, locate a spot on the inside of the frame to mount the bracket. There will be room in front of the fuel tank (leave as much room on both sides of the filter as possible). Hold the bracket in place with the bolts going over the top of the frame, start the backing plate and 2 more 1/4” washers over the bolts and loosely start (2) of the 1/4-20 Nylok nuts on the bolts.
  24. Install the bottom 1/4-20×3.5 bolt, washers and nut in the same manner as the upper bolts.
  25. Carefully tighten all (3) of the regulator mounting bracket nuts until the bracket is secure and doesn’t move freely. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the nuts, they should NOT be tight enough to be bending the bracket! We have supplied Nylok nuts so they should not back off or loosen over time and should not require any excessive torque to secure the bracket.
  26. Slide the fuel tank under the vehicle and install new 3/8” fuel line onto the pickup tube on top of the tank (larger tube of the 2). Push the hose over the rib and double clamp it as shown in figure 13 (YES, this can be a difficult step! It may be helpful to soak the end of the hose in VERY HOT water for a few minutes, and to lube the metal pickup tube). Reconnect the sending unit wiring harness and factory return line as well. It would be a good idea to cover the end of the stock feed line (larger hose) with a plastic bag and zip tie.
  27. Lift the fuel tank part way back into position and reconnect the front and rear vent hoses. Locate the fuel fill and vent hoses in such a way that they will slide over the frame as the tank is lifted the rest of the way into position.
  28. Make sure that the new fuel line is routed carefully along the frame to avoid pinching or rubbing and raise the fuel tank into position.
  29. Carefully route the 3/8” hose along the frame to the new filter. Leave a little slack and cut the hose to length. Install one of the 06NC-06FJX onto the end of the hose (make sure the hose seats FULLY against the yellow stop disc). Securely attach the hose to the inlet port on the filter head.
  30. Install the second 06NC-06FJX onto the remaining hose and securely connect it to the outlet side of the filter. Route the hose along the frame rail to the stock fuel pump. Disconnect the factory fuel line from the pump, you may want to cover the end of the factory line at this end as well. Cut the new 3/8” fuel line to length, slide it over the pump nipple (over the ridge like the tank) and double clamp.
  31. Secure the new hose with zip ties in several places along the frame to prevent rubbing.
  32. If you have some fuel, it is helpful (and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) to pre-fill the fuel filter before installing it onto the filter head.
  33. Install the small rubber gasket from the filter onto the filter head nipple, then install the filter in onto the filter head. It is a good idea to lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the filter.
  34. Once you have finished, test the system by turning the ignition key to the “ON” position, but do not start the engine yet. While the fuel pump is running, check the lines for any signs of leakage. Resolve any leaks before continuing. Cycle the key from “off” to “on” at least 4-6 times, waiting about 20 seconds each time. This will allow the pump to purge any air and completely fill the entire fuel system.
  35. Once you have confirmed that the system is leak free, go ahead and start the engine.
