The filter housing eliminator can be found from a number of vendors
A few of us have installed an AirDog or Fass Fuel pump/filter system and are now left with a fairly useless bypassed stock filter housing that we want to remove. If you don't want to re-plumb the whole return line system, the Cummins Fuel Filter Housing Eliminator kit fits in place of the stock filter unit. Basically this is a mountable tube that joins the Injector pump/HPOV return line with the Injector return/Fuel return line.
Tools you'll need to do the replacement
10mm wrench (Filter housing nuts and bolts)
T-5 hex (housing bolt)
17 mm wrench (Filter housing banjo bolt)
19 mm wrench (HPOV -high pressure overflow valve banjo bolt)
Filter Housing Eliminator
(Note: It is easier to remove the housing if the intake horn is moved out of the way)
Unhook the Water-in-Fuel connector.
Drain the filter housing and unbolt the return lines from the cab side of the filter housing. Be sure to hold the lines while undoing the banjo bolts as it can put some stress on the lines(17mm)
Unbolt the wiring harness from the housing mount. (10mm)
(It is easier to remove the front return lines from the housing after it is removed from the truck.)
Unbolt the return from the HPOV and Injector pump. (19mm, 17mm)
Unbolt the filter housing from the head and remove the whole unit from the engine compartment. (10mm)
Removed Filter housing
Mount the Eliminator and attach the cab side return line (torgue the banjo bolt to 18ft lbs) I couldn't find torque specs for the Eliminators bolts so I torqued them to 18ft/lbs (like many of the other cyl head external bolts)
Reattach the front side Banjo bolt the HPOV and the Injector pump bolts, once they are all in place torque to 18ft/lbs)
This is the installed unit.
Tie Wrap the remaining return line and check for leaks.
Cover and tie wrap the remaining electrical plugs left after the removal.
Enjoy.
