Fleece Performance 11-16 Ford Powerstroke (Short Bed) PowerFlo Lift Pump & Fuel System...

On a 2011-2016 Ford F-250 or F-350 with the 6.7L Power Stroke, the high pressure CP4.2 pump depends on a steady, clean, air-free supply from the low pressure side. When the factory frame-mounted pump and filter module wears out, or you simply want more margin for towing and tuning, the Fleece Performance FPE-PF-FMC-1116-SB kit moves the lift pump into the tank and puts a new Donaldson filter base where the factory module used to sit. This is the short bed version.

What the lift pump does on a 6.7 Power Stroke

From the factory, these trucks pull fuel from the tank with a pump built into the frame-mounted filter and conditioning module, then send it to the engine filter and the CP4.2. The CP4.2 is lubricated by the fuel it pumps, so any shortage, air or water on the supply side shows up as wear inside the high pressure pump. The PowerFlo replaces the in-tank sending unit with a pump that has two quiet gerotor sections and its own fuel level sender. Because it pushes from inside the tank instead of pulling from the frame rail, it keeps positive pressure all the way forward. Fleece rates it to support up to 800 HP and lists operating pressure at 65-70 psi at idle. An active fill bucket keeps the pickup supplied down to a low tank, with no sump or draw straw needed.

Symptoms of a failing 6.7 lift pump

• Hard start or long crank after sitting overnight
• Low fuel pressure messages or reduced power while towing
• Buzzing or whine from the frame rail module that gets louder over time
• Fuel gauge that reads wrong because the in-tank sender has failed
• Stumbling or loss of power that gets worse as the tank runs low

How to confirm before you buy

Scan the truck and log low side fuel pressure along with rail pressure desired and actual. A low side that sags under load while rail pressure falls behind points to the supply system first. Replace both filters and drain the separator, then test again. If the truck goes into reduced power with no fuel codes, the transmission may be the cause instead. Our 6R140 limp mode guide walks through those checks.

Fitment

This kit is listed for 2011-2016 Ford Super Duty pickups with the 6.7L Power Stroke and the short bed tank. Fleece cross-references it to Ford BC3Z-9275-A and fuel sender BC3Z-9A299-A. Long bed trucks use a different kit, FPE-PF-FMC-1116-LB, which replaces BC3Z-9275-B and sender BC3Z-9A299-G. Fleece confirms it fits Titan and S&B aftermarket tanks. Check the part number on your factory sender or send us your year, VIN and bed length before ordering. More parts for these trucks are on our 6R140 parts page.

Install notes

• Plug-and-play: no cutting or splicing of factory fuel lines, harness or tank. The factory water-in-fuel sensor and diagnostics stay in place.
• Kit includes the PowerFlo pump and sender, a filter base with a Donaldson P553203 filter (4 micron at 99 percent), a WIF sensor, chassis and WIF extension harnesses, a tank O-ring and mounting hardware.
• The filter base has a provision for the optional Fleece fuel heater, and Fleece also sells a matching under-hood filter base.
• The pump outlet and return accept a -8 O-ring fitting (3/4-16 thread) if you plan to run your own lines.
• Fleece has verified it with the S&S DCR conversion and the S&S CP4 Disaster Prevention Kit.
• If your truck already had a CP4.2 failure, the supply side is only part of the fix. Look at an Exergy improved stock CP4.2 and an injector line kit.
