that was a bad answer , never attempt to drain fuel from the water separator with the engine running , you will lose prime and suck air into the fuel system , it will run and die , it will be very hard to start and clear the air from it , the real answer is , it is plugged at the drain valve , simply run a small piece of mechanics wire into the bottom with valve open to clear the debris
The diesel engine that would be in a 2008 Ford E-350 van would be the 6.4L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. This Powerstroke engine got poor fuel economy with about 16mpg highway and 12mpg city.
no a powerstroke is the biggest peace of S H I T. cummins is the best diesel there is.It can also depend on the year of the motors. The powerstroke 7.3 turbo diesel is a very strong motor that has done very well for Ford. The 6.0 powerstroke on the otherhand has done very poorly for Ford. The cummins also gets better fuel mileage than the powerstroke by around 5 mpg's just as a stock motor, but power adders will afect that. In my personal opinion i would would take the cummins over the powerstroke.
Yes. But you would have to update all of the electronics and software in the 1993 F-350 to match the newer 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel. And that could possibly be costly.
Diesel fuel is hygroscopic and absorbs water. It's not unusual for diesel vehicles to have water in the fuel. Use a fuel conditioner and water remover, and use the water separator drain if it has one.
There have been injector problems, busted seals, and blown turbo problems. The best model year for the 6.0L Powerstroke engine would be the 2006 and 2007 model year. These were the years they got most of the problems worked out on the 6.0L Powerstroke engine.
Normally that would be the low fuel warning light
if you can run the tank low. pour a couple of bottles of rubbing alcohol in the tank. this will mix with the water, making it burnable. finish filling the tank with diesel. then plow your heart out . . some fuel tanks have a drain on the bottom and you can remove and drain fuel, and open the water separator drain on the filter housing. i would change the fuel filters and fill with clean diesel. you can also remove the fuel line after the pump to let it pump the tank dry or just drop the fuel tank and clean it out like that I WOULD NOT USE ALCOHOL TO MAKE WATER MIX AND GO THROUGH A DIESEL ENGINE LIKE YOU WOULD WITH A GAS ENGINE. More information as to what you are working on would allow for a more detailed answer. coop. Hi there Water in the diesel or what is sometimes known as 'diesel bug' can be an issue in most cases its simply involves undoing a drain plug on the diesel fuel filter, there is also a great product which can prevent this and also improves performance and prevents such problems occuring in the first place more can be found on this here http://www.aquasolve.co.uk
The engine would stop running. You would need to drain the gas tank. If the engine has been allowed to run since the diesel was added you would also need to drain the fuel line.
With the ignition on look on the top center of the engine where you will find the fuel filter and water seperator behind this device and to the left or passanger side you will find a little orange tabe it will move 90 degrees which will drain the fuel filter of water and other liquids. With the iignition on the fuel pump should be runing which will help fluch your lines and filter. It would be a good idea to put something under your truck to carch the liquids that drain out. You could also have a bad sensor!
If it really has water in it I would just buy a new fuel filter.AnswerStart the engine, open the draincock (on Bottom of can) and drain about half a cup into a bowl. when the diesel has pushed out the water close the draincock and shut off the engine. Dispose of the contaminated fuel sensibly.
The 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 which was produced from 2003 to 2007, got a city MPG rating of 14 and a highway MPG rating of 19. The combined average MPG would be 16.5.
The Powerstroke was introduced in 1995, the difference is direct injection. The pre1995 engines were indirect injection
