After this happening i might fly down cause i want to get more miles on it to make sure everything is okay before i leave the state but as long as nothing else goes wrong it will be making the trip down to Tennessee for rre
Alright no blow by and whit smoke is gone so hopefully everything is good have about a 100 miles on the replacement injector by end of day i should have 250-300 miles
Sorry for the bad news.
Will you have to eat the cost of the injector?
My truck has been down for 10+ weeks.
Hopefully on the road this week, when I read your thread I got a lump in my throat.
I am also getting new injectors, but I went with stage 1 casserly
No idea just a fluke air or water in fuel will cause a nozzle to come apart but i have a spin on fuel water separater full ss braid fuel system with fuellab regulator 1/2 feed and return lines with 3/8 lines going into heads with fuel sump so i dont think i have ether of those problems theres no easy way to find out if i do have air in fuel but my injectors are alot quieter then my old ones which is a tell tail sign of air in injectors
Where is this located in the fuel line? Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? I had one of these before the pump and it killed the fuel flow in high throttle.
I don't know Rich, he has dual SD fuel pumps, I'm sure he has the flow. Read about your tune up, sounded great, wish I was there, love to have someone go over mine like that. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Sorry for stealing the post guys.
Its12micron and befor the pumps and a 2micron after pumps ill take some pics its not quite how i want it yet im thinking about buying a tool box to hide it all in and keep the snow salt off of them
At wide open fp drops from 65 to 60 in my hotest tune fp gauge sending unit is mounted on regulator
I don't know Rich, he has dual SD fuel pumps, I'm sure he has the flow.
I was looking at that and yet I was thinking loss of flow on the suction side can not be made up for with more pumping. Vacuum is vacuum, and it doesn't take much to pull the big handle on the porcelain tank. Since he's getting 60-65 PSI FP at WOT (assuming it gets to the sticks), we can leave that one aside for now. I'm just looking for root causes and everything has to be asked.
Good call on staying with the OEM pumps... that's how I'd do it, if I needed to put the spurs to those ponies.
Well one is oem one is airtex hence the 3-5psi drop would be my guess and fuel pressure is after heads and i have sump 1/2 line to 12micron fw separater 2 3/8in lines coming out of filterhead into pumps then into other filterhead with 2micron filter then 1/2in up to motor splits into 2 3/8in lines into each head then out back pf heads into regulator then 3/8in return line to the pick up which i made the return pumps are on a separate harness drawing straight from batteries
