Clipper,
To tie into the stock fuel system I attached as follows.

Return
The return out of the IP is the line coming of the top at an angle. Follow this line (about 8") to a steel 'manifold' line that runs along the front of the engine. Just to the left of where this line ties in, there is another line coming out. I disconnected this line at the manifold, put a barbed coupling in and attached a longer piece of hose to the diesel return to tank port of the 6 port. I put another piece of tube on the manifold port and ran this to the return 'in' on the 6 port.

Supply
The supply into the IP is the 'other' port on top, coming straight off the top, yes, I think it is above the FSD. I pulled that line off, coupled it to a longer and connected it to the diesel 'in' port on the 6 port. I then put another piece of tube onto the fitting on top of the IP that I connected to the 'fuel out' fitting on the 6 port.

I took some pictures of the engine compartment as well as the mounting of the Racor 1000FH that is in the back of the truck. Email me at dhalicki@smcusa.com if you would like to see them.

I'm trying to trace the fuel line from the stock filter to the IP, but it passes under the intake manifold and I can't seem to trace it.

1) Is that the fuel inlet on the front left top of the IP, just above the FSD? What is the ID of the fuel inlet hose?

2) Where did you tap into the fuel return line to go back to your 6-way valve?

I am actually installing a spinner centrifuge on mine so I don't have to mess around with collecting and settling, just scraping out the centrifuge now and then. I'll let you know how it works.

Thanxs, Clipper
If by spinner you mean spinnerII as in www.spinnerII.com then you are going to have some problems.

The spinnerII requires about at least 50PSI and works better in the range of 80 to 100PSI. That is a LOT of pump! It also requires a high flow rate which means basically an open exit port. The required flow rate is about 5gal/hr. I do hope you get better mileage than that.

The spinnerII was designed to process hot motor oil. Your WVO will have much higher viscosity. I think that you will find that the settling rate for water and starch is very low and that the spinner will basically be ineffective.

I wild I had better news.

Now if someone made an electric motor powered centrifuge that might just work.
