This is a billet aluminum fuel filter cap. This is a great replacement for the original plastic cap and includes a test port which allows for a fuel pressure tester to be attached in order to properly check the fuel pressure on the Ford Power Stroke 6.0L engine. The test port supplied is a diesel fuel rated Schrader valve. Both the test port and aluminum cap are American made. Because the diesel fuel cools and lubricates the injectors on the 6.0L engine, operating the vehicle within recommended fuel pressure specifications (approximately 65psi or greater) is critical. Fuel pressure is one of the first things that should be checked when driveability issues occur. The oil pressure on the Powerstroke 6.0L is also very Important because the lube pump pressure supplies the high pressure oil pump with oil. Without proper pressure in the system, many other components will begin to fail. Works with these applications: Make: Ford Model: F-Series, E-Series Engine: Powerstroke Diesel 6.0L Year: 2003-2007 Package Includes: ·Billet aluminum fuel filter cap ·Fuel rated Schrader valve

Good fit, adapter needs thread sealing
On my adventure trying to get a fuel pressure reading from my 04 f250 6 liter, I finally bought this cap after battling other fittings for fuel housing . The Cap fits good! Make sure to use a new o-ring that comes with the filters. If you use the adapter for hooking up a gauge, make sure you use a thread sealing compound. Do NOT use the white Teflon thread tape. 1. it is not fuel resistant. 2. thread tapes can leave little pieces that will clog injectors! = expensive fix! I recommend using Permatex dope with PTFE. it comes in a white container with a brush build into the lid. Make sure to read directions, i.e clean all surfaces of fuel, dirt, etc. You can find Permatex online or support your local auto stores (Recommended)Hope this helps :)

Very helpful for me!
This was a good looking and functioning option to a broken cap. When I upgraded to the blue spring for added fuel pressure, I used a gauge with this cap to make sure I had sufficient supply under a heavy load first. Then rechecked after the installation.This was simple and cost effective for me to do some diagnostic work when I first picked up my truck.No complaints!

Exactly what I needed
An attractive and functional cap. This was exactly what I needed to measure the fuel pressure on our 6.0 Powerstroke. I removed the Schrader valve stem, hooked up the pressure gauge and took some readings. No leaks, diagnosed a problem, all in all it made the job easy.

Good fitment
Fits good for me and nice brass test port. Ford brand caps crack after about 4 years of use. I don't think this fuel filter cap will be cracking any time soon. The test port is a bonus for later diagnostics. No leaks or drips for me.

For my installation a 90 degree angle fitting would have been better but this worked fine
Quality product. Use a diesel safe thread seal on threads to prevent leaks. For my installation a 90 degree angle fitting would have been better but this worked fine.

I’d give 5 star however not a perfect snug fit It’s slightly loose when screwing in like the unit is a hair small. Over all it seals and great for a test port. In the end I would recommend this to everyone

Great fit but needs thread sealer
Perfect fit and its nice to have a pressure gauge installed while driving to verify fuel pressure. Make sure you buy some thread sealant for the sensor port because it will seep diesel fuel without it

Great quality product
After breaking my plastic one this one came in super handy. Easier to get on and off as well. Great craftsmanship too.
