What does the fuel conditioning module do?

The Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module (HFCM) is a part of the complex Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Engine. Like all diesel engines, it requires quality fuel. To help provide that quality, the HFCM filters out water and other contaminants before the fuel is delivered to the injectors.

What’s the MPG on a 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

Based on data from 136 vehicles, 8,999 fuel-ups and 2,353,928 miles of driving, the 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty gets a combined Avg MPG of 11.62 with a 0.07 MPG margin of error. Below you can see a distribution of the fuel-ups with 203 outliers (2.21%) removed. Following shows the average MPG of each of the 136 vehicles in the system.

Where is the hfcm located on a Ford 6.4?

The normal operating pressure is 3-8 psi. On the 6.4 applications, a Schrader valve test port is provided on the fuel cooler assembly. The HFCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, and pumps fuel from the tank to the 4-micron secondary fuel filter that’s mounted atop the engine beside the oil filter assembly.

How does Ford PowerStroke horizontal fuel conditioning module work?

The cooled fuel will then be directed back to the secondary fuel filter and lastly to the HFCM. In addition to a filter and an electric fuel pump, the HFCM contains a Diesel Thermal Recirculating Valve (DTRM). The DTRM determines the flow direction of the low-pressure fuel returning from the secondary filter housing.

What is normal operating pressure of Ford PowerStroke?

The 6.4 Ford Powerstroke engine’s low-pressure fuel system uses a Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module (HFCM) to pump fuel from the tank to the engine. The normal operating pressure is 3-8 psi. On the 6.4 applications, a Schrader valve test port is provided on the fuel cooler assembly.

Where does the low pressure fuel go in a HPM?

After passing through the secondary filter, the low-pressure fuel enters the mechanical High Pressure Fuel Pump. The PCM uses the HPFP’s two control valves to control fuel entering the high-pressure system. The remaining fuel is directed to the fuel cooler.
