I would be skeptical running a 90 GPH filter on a 150 GPH pump, so the 60 would be a very bad idea IMHO. The pump will move as much fuel as required to maintain the set pressure and if yo

You also have to factor in the fact Raptor does not have a return line. So reaching 150 GPH is not going to happen. The most I've seen so far in fuel consumption rate is 25-30 GPH. Now the typical hig
I'm placing a filter on the frame but have two choices, one is 60 gallon per hour and other is 90 gph pre filters to remove sediment and water before entering a new Raptor 150. Being that the 60 gph filter is shorter I need to know if that is adequate on a stock truck. There is conflicting information on the 5.9's requirements all over the net.
Sorry Mike, I know you said 90gph before but, I'm just hoping for any degree of clearance under there and with info on the net the way it is, well....
Update: I just ran my other truck without the 60 GPH filter it has always had, its a 12 valve, to see how much effect it has on restriction (fuel pressure). The fuel pressure only went up by 1 p.s.i. at best.
Then you figure burning say, to be on the conservative side, hauling heavy 14 miles to the gallon doing 60 miles each hour, so that's only burning 4.28 gallons an hour. Then add in the return flow on average, guessing must be about 30 gallons an hour. I'm still well under the 60 GPH rating the filter has when installed. That leaves room for heavy uphill hauling etc. However ,the debate then is how much return flow is actually required sense it is usually a constant flow always further polishing the fuel, which might be as high as 60 gallons an hour so then a 90 gph filter is required.
