    I went to the seaboard site to look at some fuel hoses I need to replace. See attached picture, there is a filter in this picture
    But on my motor the filter is on the other side. 6BTA 5.9 Mk3 Diamond series 370 hp cpl 2208. So in order to get the
    right fuel hoses what do I need to order? I think I might need to replace all these fuel delivery hoses. Which ones are pertinent
    to my motor?

    100% yes……………….If you suspect you are having fuel supply issue, nothing better than installing a 0-30 PSI High quality LIQUID filled gauge on that filter to troubleshooting issues…………….Use not less that a 3 ft hose to DAMPEN the readings with a full 360 degree loop ( or more) in the hose..

    pressure gauge

    Is it possible to put a pressure gauge on the engine fuel filter? there seems to be additional ports, perhaps racor style gauge fitted on one of those ports would be helpful.
    Such as # 4 in the picture?

    any comments appreciated.

    I’m always about photos and links but I’ve been traveling this week and using my dumb phone here.

    Combo block

    Sounds like a perfect time to give the combo block a good inspection and decide if it stays or if it goes…..

    Here is what you need to do… Send good pics of your engine with an arrow on th hose(s) you want to replace ..

    Send them to [email protected]

    Only way to sort it out as there are some odd configurations………………..
