Gel Melt Use Notes

To Reliquefy Gelled Fuel:
Add approximately 1oz of Gel Melt to every 3 Gallons of fuel in the tanks. Remove fuel filters and fill with 50% Gel Melt and 50% fresh diesel fuel. Reinstall fuel filters. Start Engine. Let engine idle to warm up fuel system. Add Opti-Lube Winter or XPD All-In-One as directed to prevent gelling.
To Remove Water & Prevent Fuel Filter Icing:
Refer to treatment rates to determine the amount of Gel Melt needed to add to fuel. For Biodiesel blends containing a maximum of 20% biodiesel (B20), add two times the amount of additive listed.

1/10th the cost of other sites
Was just browsing around for this hose and saw that another diesel performance site wanted $100 bucks for the same thing!

Early '99 came factory with this, later years don't :-(
My 'E99 has this hose, and the Serp replacement took minutes. I purchased this to swap for the through hose while I had to take it all apart to swap the failing Serp on my '01. Ordered another setup to change my dad's '02 to simplify future maintenance.

Vehicles should have shipped with this
I can only imagine the fun and excitement you would experience road side trying to replace a snapped belt with the standard radiator hose. This will make that a 5 - 10 minute job should it ever occur.
It is such a simple and inexpensive fix you just ask yourself, "WHY FORD? WHY!" -
It is what it is
No guess work, it is what it is. Won't find a better vendor!

Don't ask why
while scratching your head about the OEM upper hose routing THROUGH the serpentine belt. I've got no answer to that but this hose fixes that problem and routes AROUND the Serpentine belt. Sweet baby Jesus.
