These new common rail fuel systems are extremely fragile. The older fuel systems were much more robust. The gear system of the older Cummings and the Cat designed 7.3 Ford systems almost couldn’t be hurt. These new Bosch systems that they all have run at 25,000 PSI and over and will not tolerate any abuse from contamination from dirty fuel or water or being starved of fuel. You can’t change the filter too often. I like to carry an extra set of filters with me. You can’t ever tell when you might get dirty fuel or water in your fuel. When the high pressure fuel pump goes bad most of the time all of the injectors haft to be changed along with all the fuel lines. Most of the time this will cost 6 to $8000 dollars. So be careful this can get in your pocket book, deep.
