This V3 kit now fits ODAWG S2 and S3 intake manifolds, giving you even more flexibility for high-performance 6.0L builds.

If you’re looking for a serious fuel system upgrade, this 6.0L Powerstroke Fuel Bowl Delete Regulated Return Kit delivers exactly that.

Eliminate Fuel Starvation in Your 6.0L Powerstroke

The Driven Diesel Fuel Bowl Delete Regulated Return Kit transforms the factory fuel system on your 2003–2007 6.0L Powerstroke Super Duty.

First, it eliminates the restrictive “dead-head” factory fuel rails. Then, it ties both rails together using a high-quality Fuelab bypass fuel pressure regulator. As a result, fuel circulates continuously through the cylinder heads instead of stopping at the rails.

Because of this regulated return design, your injectors receive consistent fuel pressure and volume at all times.

Why Delete the Factory Fuel Bowl?

The factory fuel filter bowl restricts flow and clogs the engine valley. Therefore, this kit removes the stock bowl completely and replaces it with a custom-machined fuel bowl delete block.

As fuel flow improves, your injectors receive a better supply under load. In addition, removing the factory bowl frees up valuable engine bay space. This becomes especially helpful if you also run a Bullet Proof Diesel oil cooler kit or another remote oil filter system.

Most importantly, this 6.0L Powerstroke fuel bowl delete kit allows trapped air to exit through the regulator return port instead of pushing through your injectors. Consequently, injector noise decreases,

and injector life increases.

If you are installing new stock or aftermarket injectors, this regulated return system protects your investment and maximizes performance.

Performance Benefits of a Regulated Return System

Customers consistently report measurable improvements after installing this 6.0L Powerstroke regulated return kit.

Common results include:

• Improved throttle response

• Increased power output

• More stable fuel pressure

• Longer fuel injector life

Because the system maintains steady pressure across all cylinders, your engine runs smoother and responds faster under load.

Required Parts and Installation Configurations

Before installing this 6.0L Powerstroke Fuel Bowl Delete Kit, review the following configuration requirements.

If You Still Run the Stock Oil Filter Bowl

You must either:

• Modify your existing oil filter bowl by removing the attached fuel filter bowl

• Replace it with an oil filter bowl that does not include the fuel filter section

For convenience, we offer a replacement bowl option you can add to your order.

If You Run a Bullet Proof Diesel Oil Cooler Kit

If your truck uses a Bullet Proof Diesel oil cooler kit with a remote filter, this fuel bowl delete system allows you to remove the entire oil/fuel filter bowl assembly completely.

Fuel Pump Compatibility

This kit does NOT work with the stock fuel pump.

The factory fuel pump contains a fuel filter, and Ford sells replacement filters in pairs with the secondary filter. Therefore, deleting the secondary fuel bowl while retaining the stock pump creates unnecessary cost and redundancy.

If you plan to keep your factory pump, choose our Standard 6.0L Regulated Return Kit instead.

High Volume and Aftermarket Pump Compatibility

For best results, we strongly recommend pairing this system with a Driven Diesel High Volume Fuel Delivery Kit. In fact, we designed this fuel bowl delete regulated return kit specifically around those systems.

If you use a FASS or AIRDOG II high-pressure system, you will need our FASS / AIRDOG II Install Kit.

If you run a different pump setup, you must ensure:

• Proper pre-pump filtration

• Proper post-pump filtration

• Effective water separation

• Adequate fuel volume

• Correct #6 AN inlet connection

Proper fuel system design ensures long-term reliability.

Alternator Fitment Note

This 6.0L Powerstroke regulated return kit mounts the regulator to the alternator using a custom bracket.

However, some high-amp aftermarket alternators use a different housing design. In those cases, you may need to modify the bracket or fabricate a custom mounting solution.

Bio-Diesel Compatibility

Although we improved bio-diesel compatibility in our fuel system kits, we recommend running B20 or lower. Higher bio-diesel concentrations can damage adhesives used in most fuel filter elements.

Made in the USA Commitment

We actively source as many U.S.-made components as possible without sacrificing quality. While we cannot control every individual component supplier, we continuously work to increase the percentage of American-made materials in our products.
