FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC ARTICLES AND PROCEDURES
The information in the following articles and diagnostic procedures is a result of about 20 years of designing, building and working on 7.3L and 6.0L fuel systems. It comes from taking many tech support calls and figuring out many problems over those years. The articles are organized below in the order we recommend following for each type of problem listed. Please review them in order if you are trying to figure out a problem as there is nothing more frustrating than realizing that you skipped the most basic of checks that would have found your problem because you assumed it would be something else.
These articles were written for customers with our Driven Diesel line of fuel system products, but they are general enough in nature to apply to just about any 7.3L or 6.0L fuel system. If you are using these links to solve problems with a competitors fuel system product, because you called them and they couldn't help you diagnose it, we are glad we could help and hope that you remember us for any future diesel needs.
If you work for a competitor, and you are reading these aticles so you can finally understand what you are selling, you should have figured it out before you copied other peoples work and sold it as your own.
The BOLD headings are "Problem Types". Go to the "problem type" that matches your situation and start from there:

Article 1 - Fuel Pressure Regulator Basics
Article 2 - Fuel Pump Voltage Checks
Article 4 - Final Regulator Check & FASS/AirDog Issues
Article 5 - Diagnosing Suction Side Flow Problems
Article 10 - OBS Selector Valve Issues
FUEL SYSTEM LEAKS:
Article 6 - Common Pressure Side Leaks and How To Fix Them
