I am planning the conversion of my 88 7.3 IDI NA to WVO soon. The stock mechanical lift pump feeds the fuel filter/separator before going to the IP. The fuel filter is under pressure from the lift pump. Where should I tie in with the 3 way valve? I would like not to run veg through the diesel fuel filter. I'd like to use the mech lift pump also for veg if possible and not add an elec pump.

You will need to change the way the return runs I capped it at the back of the motor and put a tee at the IP to feed the six portyou also need to cap the bleed line from the filter.Here is a link to pics of my truck.I found good info on greasels site for doing these trucks when I did mine
