I installed the disaster prevention kit as a safeguard to having the hi-pressure gas pump go out on my F-250 6.7 turbo deisel. Now I can travel without worrying about the #1 problem that gets these engines.

Parts worked well and seem to go pretty smooth at

If it has the potential to save thousands, well worth it. Wish it fit better with the stock CCV, the exofilter sits against it, but I think the Mishimoto catchcan set up will raise the CCV enough to clear it. Later project.
Garren Z.
Iāve heard a lot of good reviews about this product,knowing that it could save me a bunch of money later down the road if my cp4 pump goes out I definitely had to get it
Randy W.
The entire transaction was great from the beginning. Order confirmation, constant tracking and updated and then instalation instructions were sent to me.After years of upgrades to my trucks never have I done bussiness with a company that took care of me right to the end.Super happy and will not hesitate to do bussiness with you again.
Elvis M.
I very much appreciate the way you guys worked with me on getting the right parts even after I had messed up and ordered the wrong one! This is true customer service!
Fred J.
Good product easy to install and clean appearance Very professional product
Jonathan A.
Works great and have peace knowing I have protection!
Brian D.
Excellent quality and easy to install. SPE products are high quality and engineered to last and perform.
Reno Y.
Easy to install. Detailed instructions
And I really like that they have good YouTube videos for installs! Only drove about 40 miles with it installed so far.
Bill O.
It is such a relief to know that if the cp4 decides to eat itself that it canāt spread through the fuel system. It is very well designed kit. Everything fit like it grew there. The hardest part is removing the plastic intake from Ford. The rest is a cakewalk. Thanks to the way you guys engineered the kit. Iād say you guyās should apply at Ford! They obviously donāt design it to be removed by humans!
Chris
Was great working with the SPE Team. Their products are amazing and the quality is top notch. In addition the packaging was very good to ensure everything came as it was designed.
Ryan W.
Itās nice that itās utilizes the factory filter, rather than adding one more thing under the hood.

This disaster prevention kit is second to none; absolutely love the machine work and peace of mind this kit offers. I would love to see more detailed instructions, they left something to be desired. The exo-filter instructions should be included with the primary disaster prevention kit instructions. It threw me off for a few mins as to why I had "extra" parts until I went back in to see those parts were the EXO filter kit. This kit does take around 3 hours to install and I highly recommend doing the CAT fuel filers at the same time. Nice work SPE!
Dylan S.
First time installing one of these type of kits. Fairly simple install as long as you are familiar with taking 6.7 intakes off. Instructions were clear and parts seem to be very high quality. Well worth the money spent considering what it costs if the cp4 pump fails!! Most recent quote for a full fuel system was just shy of $17,000 parts and labor! A definite must-buy for any 6.7 powerstroke owner.
Yuri O.
Thank you SPE ! I am so thankful for your bipass system! You guys rock keep the awesome work.
Luke W.
2015 F350 6.7 powerstroke - cp4 disaster prevention kit, took around 3 1/2 hrs for me and a friend to install, keep in mind we are not mechanics but what took the majority of the time was taking parts off the top of the engine to gain access to the valley, where the cp4 is located.
Bill C.
Parts installed just as described in video very clean installation.
Timothy B.
Everything went well except when it came time to hook up the return line. Itās made of nylon and must take care not to bend it or it will kink. I was able to fix the line with some heat, but it would be nice to have a warning or an angled quick connect for the return hose.
Besides that it worked perfectly.
Skyler J.
This kit is amazing. No cutting lines or hose clamps. Installation was easy and the parts are well made!!!
gary a.
simple install procedure an very detailed install instructions on the website. Very good quality parts an possibly a lifesaver to my fuel system someday
NATE H.
BECAME A DEALER FOR SPE A FEW MONTHS BACK AND SO FAR WE LOVE THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WE CAN. ALWAYS EASY TO INSTALL AND GREAT WORKMANSHIP.
Carolyn C.
.This was a sweet install. Instructions included with product were thorough. Would purchase another kit from you if needed. Great product.
Jim R.
First of all, I have to state for the record, that I am very impressed and happy with the quality of the parts included in the Disaster prevention kit! Definitely top notch design and manufacturing! But, as others have mentioned in their reviews, nothing quite prepares you for the major headache of removing the factory upper and lower manifolds! Took a week or more for all the cuts on the back of my hands to heal up after being repeatedly sliced by the sharp edge of the cowl. I have a 2018, and as many know, the bolts in the upper manifold are captive in the manifold, so even after finally getting them all loose with a menagerie of sockets, swivels and extensions, the upper manifold was almost impossible to get out from under the cowl. The bolts would constantly hang up on anything and everything, and sometimes just wiggling the manifold around would get one or two of the bolts to start screwing back in. Getting to the sensors/connectors on the passenger side under the cowl is very difficult as well. Once it was finally apart, the installation was pretty simple. I had installed the 90 degree AN fittings about a week earlier, so the sealant was well cured, and had pre-assembled the exofilter as well. As others have mentioned as well, if you have the stock CCV filter in place that becomes another issue. In attempting to remove the CCV hose from the lower manifold it just broke it two, being plastic in a hot environment it's no surprise it was so brittle. The supplied spacer that goes under the factory fuel line bracket at the fuel filter mounting bolt, raises the new inlet "Y" fitting, or manifold if you will, to the point that it is pushing up against the CCV hose right at the CCV filter housing. With the line broken and the "Y" fitting up against it, I had to cut the heat shrink clamp that held the CCV hose to the filter housing, and remove the factory hose end. I was then able to slide a very thin walled piece of electrical conduit sheathing over the hose and the hose nipple on the housing. A couple of clamps on it and it is good for now. Not sure if I really want to remove the CCV filter yet. The other issue I had, actually still have as I have not yet addressed it, is the mounting of the exofilter. Again, the CCV filter is right in the way. The return on my '18 points straight up vertical and the diameter of the exofilter is large enough that it will not allow you to push the filter down on the steel tubing. My fix for this at this point, is going to be to remove the rearmost bolt holding the return line bracket in place and slightly bend the tubing outward just enough to install the filter. There will still be a front bolt holding the return line in place so I don't see an issue there. As far as the angle in relation to the actual return line, some have mentioned that they had difficulties installing the original line on the filter. I don't think that will be an issue in my case though.
Ryan M.
The product looks great. I like all the email follow-ups. It would have been nice if you included a parts list. I had no way to check that all the parts needed were there. Also, the packaging was mediocre. The individual parts were protected but they were all tossed in the box with no additional packing material. Fortunately, all the parts were in good shape.
Andy W.
Great design and product, very happy with the whole project thank you so much really looking good
Troy H.
Easy install once you get everything out of the way. Donāt have to worry about shaving now.
Curtis T.
Great product and easy to install
scott r.
I am in the business professionally and have just installed it on a brand new engine install in my personal truck. Install of kit was pretty easy, will take some time driving to see how well it works. I like the fact that I can check on regular routine basis in order to catch a problem before it gets to bad hopefully.
Luis L.
excellent fit fast shipping very easy to install
Travis J.
Easy to install once the upper and lower manifolds are removed. Be careful with the upper manifold. I broke a coolant hose and purchased the coolant reroute kit. Iām not too comfortable with the exofilter install on the return line, but it works.
Raymond L.
Good product used it before on my power strokes still waiting for my catch can tho !
Chadwick S.
The parts seem to all be manufactured very well. Assembly should have been relatively straight forward except the instructions would say things like "removed parts pictured that are *insert color here* but the pictures were in black and white. Also when I first installed the mprop to the top of the CP4 I had a massive fuel leak as it was tight but not seated all the way. What I found was that it was seating because the machined edge of the mprop was being held slightly up by the machined edge of the CP4. Once I manually agitated it into place I was able to get several more turns on the screws before final torque. After that there has been no issues with any component of the kit and it looks right at home aesthetically. Hopefully when the day comes that the CP4 decides to Kurt Cobain itself this kit saves the rest of the fuel system.
Christopher L.
The kit fits well but does take some patience to install. I had to use YouTube as a supplement to the directions. The directions did not cover the return filter installation. One change to the kit I believe needs to be made and that would a 90 degree fitting for the return fuel out of the filter block since the stock return fuel is oriented vertical.
I would like to see a finished install picture minus the upper intake included in the directions. Also a video on YouTube actually installing the kit or a link via QR code would be great too. Overall very nice kit and would like to discuss it with SPE if they want any further information. Chris L.
Pete C.
It will help avoid disastrous repairs. Thank you.
Mellor I.
I definitely recommend this kit but if youāre not mechanically inclined, this install isnāt for you. I was able to get mine installed successfully with the help of the instructions provided by SPE but what the instructions donāt tell you is how hard some of the bolts are to get to. Especially with a stock intake manifold. On that note, if you have a stock intake manifold , I highly recommend purchasing one from SPE in addition to the disaster prevention kit. Overall, itās a great product thatāll give you peace of mind and save you thousand of dollars in the event your CP4 takes a dump.
Christopher H.
So far everything works great and looks great and extremely easy to install. I will continue to buy my parts from yall.
Ben W.
2018 F250. I ordered the kit the shipping was fast. As I installed the kit I that everything fit well. Only issue I had was the fuel manifold fit exactly under the CCV hose that goes to the intake. I was unable to tweak the fuel line to get the clearance needed. I purchased the CCV reroute kit and was able to tweak the fuel line. Other than that it seems to be perfect. Looking forward to purchasing more products.
Devin M.
Love the kit! It's built better than you would expect for the price tag especially when you compare it too the competition. Hands down the best design, quality, and execution. As a automotive technician my self I wanted the smart choice for my own work truck and I believe I found it!
Patrick M.
Great install, great instructions. Parts are a very high quality. Took about 2.5 hours to install this and the CCV delete kits.
Christopher E.
Quality parts that work great at a good price.
andrew b.
Purchased based off my mechanicās recommendation as my 6.7 was climbing in age/mileage. Looking forward to replacing with the new fuel pump to completely protect the engine.
William W.
The kit was easy to install plus a detailed YouTube installation available as well as online accessibility to instructions. Itās freshly installed including the exofilter so time will tell.
Steve B.
This beats Ford's idea of a disaster kit hands down! And way cheaper way to go if your cp4 would fail! Not to mention looks badass with the other SPE products I've purchased to go with this!
Alex P.
Kit went in real easy and it even came with a new rubber for the stock part you re-use in case if itās bad from pulling it out.
jaymen b.
Had a fuel leak on the distribution block, wrong size o rings, was sent new o rings no issue, hopefully never will now.
Brett P.
Finished installing the kit lastnight on my 2011 f250. I am not a mechanic but am very mechanically inclined, kit took me 8 hrs to install with a full toolbox of my snapon tools. Needing lots of 1/4 drive extentions and swivels and a magnet to get dropped bolts and wrenches. Had a issue threading the 90 degree fittings into the fuel block and also the metering valve took me 30 mins each because they only threaded in a 1 turn and a half. I knew they were going to leak like that with just vibra-tite on the threads. So i worked the fittings in back and fourth with a wrench until i got the desired angle and about 3+ full turns into the block. Being very carefull to not crack the aluminum block in the process. Cleaned it out throughly after with brake cleaner to remove metal debris. Video Instructions show guy using what looks like teflon tape but the printed instructions show to use supplied vibra-tite. Looked up the cure time of vibratite and it says 24 hrs although i didnt not wait more than 2 hrs to prime the system. No leaks sofar. I am very happy with the kit overall. Found a mouse nest under my turbo and cp4 so im glad i did the work myslelf, plus other misc. bolts that previous mechanics forgot to tighten. Between installing this kit and installing cab mounts, i feel like i can quit being an ironworker and become a mechanic full time. Lol
Jeffery F.
Great fit everything plugged right in

I had the kit installed by my diesel shop here in Shreveport Louisiana.
While installing the 90 degree NPT fittings in the pump block adapter the threads in the block had a line of uncut material which would only allow the fitting to thread into the block 1-2 threads deep. It was apparent as it was a straight line down the threads that it was possibly a casting issue during the manufacture of this part.
Upon identification of this defect he cleaned the threads out with a tap and chase to allow the 90 degree NPT fitting to thread into it properly. (I understand that NPT fittings donāt thread into the block completely but this was not being stopped by the fitting but rather the material left in the threads).
He did not provide a picture but he is a well qualified diesel mechanic that followed the directions for the kit and explained the problem to me in detail.
Other than that problem he/I liked your kit very much and plans on recommending it to all his 6.7 customers.
Iām not sure if the shop will be charging me additional for the time it took him to sort it out and remedy the issue but I definitely wanted to let you know you may have an issue with how the threading is being done on the adapter plate to the CP4.
I brought this issue to tech support and it seemed to be brushed off as I/we didnāt understand that an NPT fitting doesnāt thread in completely to the other part normally, but what we were trying to convey was the problem stated above.
I like the kit and think it was well thought out and packaged well. It installed much easier than any other kit my mechanic had used prior and as I said he plans on recommending them to future 6.7 clients that are looking for a solution to the āCP4 problemā.
Thank you,
Joe
Cole L.
The product is good quality and the installation went fairly smooth, I have only one issue with this product, and that's is that the threaded ports that the NPT to JIC 90Ā° elbows thread into required a thread tap to remove the anodizing from the threads so that the fittings could be threaded in more than 2-3 turns.
Otherwise, everything went together well, and there were no fuel leaks.
One other thing to note is that the fuel line spacer for my truck was to tall and when it was installed it caused the high pressure steel line to be under to much stress, so I just used 2 small washers and that provided enough clearance for the high pressure adapter and the return line.
Michael B.
I wish I could say it was easy but it was a little difficult for an average guy like myself. I got it finished after around 6 hrs. All the parts fit as suspected great look and fit.
Troy F.
Fits as designed. Offers a huge piece of mind on the failure that Ford should find a replacement for.
Great quality.
William B.
Direct bolt on application. Be mindful of the heater core hose when removing and reinstalling the lower intake. Plastic fittings are less forgiving as they age.
Charles W.
Well made quality product. Absolutely easy install.
Manley b.
Overall installers pretty simple. I was not able to twist the return line to install it on the mini keg filter without damaging the stock return line. I ended up having to shorten and repair the return line so I could get it to face the correct way.
Troy F.
While I would probably love the product had I received all the parts.
The material seems very solid.
Adam B.
Fit and finish is spot on! Surprisingly excellent quality of materials. Hopefully Iāll never notice itās there.
Trent B.
Great fitment great products
Daniel H.
Disaster prevention kit very well made all the parts are solid and very well designed. Easy to install and a great upgrade to help you keep you truck running. If you dont have one i suggest you go get one. Great job SPE.
Tim M.
I think it is a great kit and should save everyone who uses it a lot of money when the pump comes apart. The kit went on pretty easily. I wish the new plastic fuel line from the fuel filter was slightly longer. In had a hard time getting this line on. I used assembly lube before I tried the first time. I ended up cutting the O ring and had a leak. I was able to take the O ring from the OE line and make bit work. I also wish the return line didn't have to be turned 90 degrees. I was worried about the line breaking. Thanks for building a great product.
Alexander C.
Good parts and great instructions. Most of all, good engineering, and this is coming from an aerospace engineer.
austin d.
Other than missing pieces (which they offered to fix) it was an easy install. It looks super clean and no leaks at all!
Brandon W.
I feel better knowing my whole fuel system can't be ruined from the pump
Jean P.
Works well not too bad to install.
Leopoldo Q.
This is the real deal!! Donāt Be fooled by imposters.
Mike W.
I purchased this kit like a year ago and just installed it about a month ago. I've had no low fuel pressure issues, let alone any issues at all with this kit! It would've been nice for the w directions to have torque specifications and patterns for the intake, but I was able to find this rather easily online. It's a great quality kit!
Bryan V.
Great quality materials. Piece mind paying for this instead of spending 12k-15k to replace the fuel system. Ended up ordering EGR delete, CCV reroute, & cold side IC piping straight to the intake since I had everything off already.
Gregory M.
20 minute job.. plug and play.. easy install..
Roy H.
Everything fit as it was designed. The piece of mind is awesome and It looks great. On thing that will vary for each rig is the short hard fuel line. Mine fits really tight making my filter change harder. There is a long and short side so pay attention to that. Another thing is there is no instruction to where the screen fitting installs. Shows it kinda in the background of pictures but doesn't talk about it specifically.
john h.
All components were of the highest professional grade machined beautifully , the online tutorial helped very much with the install a must watch Before & After you order
Spencer F.
Simple install with a few basic tools. Fitment is good with the exception of the return hose being a little bit of a pain. 6.7's should have came stock with these kits!
Jason E.
Just got it installed
Danny N.
Had the mechanic install it. He was pretty impressed.
Kenny G.
Disaster kit was simple to install. My truck is running and performing better!!!
Christopher .
I really like how still being new to the diesel world Iāve learned quite a bit just from all the YouTube Videos SPE has and they go into depth explaining things which brings me to keep purchasing their very well thought out, designed and manufactured parts!
Angel P.
Pic is a little rough looking but this kit is amazing hardest this about the install is removing the plastic manifold.love the quality on the parts. Been running it on my all stock ā15 powerstroke I donāt have any issues at all thank you!
Jonathan M.
Installation was pretty straightforward took about four hours total. Since installing the kit I have had no issues and Iām happy with my purchase at this time.
Francis T.
Iām just a home mechanic with regular tools and all O can say is High quality products both fit and finish. If you plan on purchasing this in which you should, make sure to put together the locking plate for the fuel line manifold and fuel return filter or you will mix them up like I did. Overall, the install took me 10-15 minutes tops.
Chris S.
Order arrived as expected, back to work for two weeks before I can do the install.
Will report back after install
greg k.
Kit was of very nice quality, everything was well packaged and protected. Fit and finish was very nice as well. If your truck does not have a CCV re route it may be a little tight with factory CCV box but it does fit.
Todd H.
I purchased 2 of these, one for a 2012 which I had installed 2 years ago. The truck was previously deleted by the former owner, so I don't know what was removed, and the install was a breeze. I recently purchased the second one for a 2019 F-450 and it was intact, and was NOT a breeze. The upper intake bolts are locked into the intake and they get hung up trying to remove it. I worked around that, leaving it in place and removed the lower intake. You do need a long skinny shaft torx to get to the front bolt of the pump, but aside from that, the parts went on easily. The filter side though took some work as the gap between the hard lines is not wide enough for the cap that secures the splitter to the line, so I carefully spread them apart with a pry bar, and was able to get the cap on. It was a little bit more work on the 2019 than the 2012, but best insurance you can buy for these diesels.
My only complaint is the return filter. Great idea, but difficult to install due to the shielding by the line, and the plastic line does not fit very well, it starts to kink no matter how careful I try, so didn't install it on the 19 because I didn't want to battle trying to get the bolt secured from underneath with how little room there is and was having difficulty trying to disconnect the clip on the line. Not a knock against the product, but there is a simpler to install filter that just plugs in place. Doesn't look as nice, but easier to install. It is part of another companies kit, but I prefer the SPE kit for both looks and assembly, the other kit is a one piece block with lines attached and feels to me like a stress point of failure, and frankly looks hacked together where the SPE kit looks well made, and it is, the machining quality is outstanding.
On the instructions, adding a little more detail, such as how to get the upper out due to the bolts not coming out, and how to remove the CCV pipe from the lower would be helpful, those two items hung me up a bit and had to do some online searching for the CCV pipe. Still not sure how the upper is removed with those bolts getting hung up.
Tony W.
Product arrived quickly, installation was very easy with no issues at all,the return filter was a great idea
Travis R.
Great kit. Easy to install and great customer service!! Thanks SPE for making a quality kit!
David L.
Another SPE Kit in action!! Installed several of these units with ease! Highly recommend to save you a lot of money down the road.
Garrett P.
Great company to do business with
Jason G.
Badass !!! The only way to describe it! Thanks SPE! Keep up the good work!!
Ryan O.
Very clean sleek look!
Steve S.
Great products and fit perfectly.
Ryan S.
Dudes, I ordered this kit after one of my friends sent me the YouTube link. So far Iāve only opened the package to inspect for quality and Iām not disappointed. It will be a few weeks before I get it installed, but Iām most impressed with the shipping, I effed up the street name, sent a reply from the order form back to SPE and they amended it super quick. SPE is a company of stand up guys.
V/R, Ryan USCG.
Jonathan K.
Well built kit!!!
Kirk A.
I would have given 5 stars but the kit shown in the description of the product I bought is not what I received. I thought my kit would come with the ExoFilter that would allow me to monitor the system when maintenancing my truckā¦ it did not. The item pictured when I purchased the system clearly shows this filter. My mechanic already had the top part of the motor disassembled because he was installing a new turbo when this was discovered and I was leaving on a long trip the next day so I had him install what we had which he said would prevent a disaster. The kit I have is effective but not what I ordered.
David L.
I've ordered several of these kits and is why I waited to do a review. These kits are a huge money saver in the event your cp4 fails! Saves you several thousands! Would recommend a shop installing these if you're not mechanically inclined. I push these for all my customers with the 6.7 Powerstrokes.
James E.
I had the F-250 fuel pump disaster prevention kit installed by a professional diesel mechanic. The mechanic said itās the best preventative fuel pump disaster kit he has seen. Iāve already driven over a 1,000 miles since having the kit installed, and have had no problemās. I would recommend this product for anyone looking to prevent a fuel pump disaster.
jared y.
Seems to be a very well manufactured product! Obviously wonāt know how well it does unless my pump would go out but it is a very well designed product! Seems like a good insurance to me! Also very easy and self explanatory to install!
