THIS KIT DOES NOT PROVIDE *NOT* ADEQUATE FILTRATION FOR A FUEL BOWL DELETE! See Notes Below!
Price: $319.95
  YOU MUST READ AND AGREE TO TERMS BELOW!
I understand and agree that this PRE-PUMP fuel filter kit does not provide the type of filtration required to install a FUEL BOWL DELETE.

IMPORTANT NOTE : If you are planning additional performance upgrades that may require you to run a larger than stock fuel pump, or if you are planning to install a FUEL BOWL DELETE REGULATED RETURN, you need to be looking at one of our PRE/POST FUEL FILTER KITS. They cost a little more up front, but the Pre/Post kits allow for immediate removal of the OEM fuel filter bowl and have a clear and easy upgrade path to configurations that support Larger Fuel Injectors.

This Pre-Pump Fuel Filter Kit is ONLY Recommended if you are planning to stick with the OEM In-Valley Fuel Filter. This kit will save you some money when sticking with the OEM filter bowl.


The Driven Diesel Fuel Tank / Pre-Pump Kit (commonly referred to as the "Hutch Mod") is the first step in the fuel system upgrade process. This kit includes all of the parts necessary to eliminate "air leaks" in the fuel circuit before the electric fuel pump (suction side) and add additional fuel filtration. Air in diesel fuel causes noisy operation and can damage the fuel injectors. The base kit fits both F250/350 Super Duty Trucks and Excursions (see below for extended wheelbase vehicles). This kit is ideal for owners wanting the benefits of the "Hutch Mod" while still keeping their engine fuel system mostly stock and retaining the OEM fuel filter bowl.

This kit includes:
Driven Diesel Billet Fuel Filter Head Made in the USA!
Driven Diesel Heavy Duty S.S. Custom Filter Mount Made in the USA!
• Extended Fuel Tank Pickup Tube
• Extended Fuel Tank Return Tube
• 15' New 3/8" Fuel Line From Tank to Pump
• Optional 25' of Hose Total (see note below)
• Baldwin Fuel Filter / Water Separator Made in the USA!
• Complete Hardware Package including All Fittings, Nuts, Bolts and Washers
Adapter Fitting for FASS Electric Fuel Heater INCLUDED!
• Installation Instructions

Made in the USA! Denotes Items that are 100% MADE IN THE USA!

NOTE: Some CAB AND CHASSIS / LONG WHEELBASE trucks may require more than our standard 15' of hose. If you are using this kit on a Cab and Chassis or other vehicle with a "behind the axle" fuel tank, please take a measurement from the fuel tank to the fuel pump (along the frame, the way the hose would route) and confirm whether the standard 15' hose length will work for you, or if you need the longer 25' length.

This kit is only rated for B20 Bio-Diesel. This is primarily due to the B20 rating Baldwin places on their filters. We are not aware of any appropriate pre-pump style filters that will work with higher concentrations of Bio-Diesel. If you are running Bio-Diesel, please be mindful of your filter service intervals and periodically check your hoses for signs of damage from the fuel.

This kit is NOT required with installations utilizing an AirDog or FASS.

VAN OWNERS LOOK HERE!!! : This kit was originally designed for the Super Duty Pickup and Excursion, but can be retrofitted to the E-Series van. The van fuel tank has a baffled pan around the fuel pickup assembly in the fuel tank that interferes with the extended return, and the installation instructions were written for a Pickup/Excursion. If you wish to use this kit in your van, you will NOT be able to use the extended return tube, and your installation may differ somewhat from the instructions due to the location of the van fuel tank and differences in the van frame (the kit does fit). If you have an extended length van, or you simply want to be sure you won't have any issues, we recommend ordering the optional longer hose length, as the vans have the fuel tank behind the rear axle like the cab and chassis trucks do. Also, van fuel tanks have a liner in them that is notorious for a condition called "Delamination". Delamination is a problem with the fuel tank and has nothing to do with the installation of this product. If you purchase this kit and install it in a van, you are doing so with the understanding that any issues with tank delamination are not the responsibility of Driven Diesel or Strictly Diesel.

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.
