A raptor pump???? not sure of what your calling the original AD. good idea on the Y block, but why would you even need an AD and a fuelab pump??? you can run just the big fuelab pump and have enough fuel to run a set of 400cc injectors. your going wayyyyy overkill brother. LOL
I like overkill though, so I'd rather have the seperate pump that's why I'll use the older style AD. As for just running the pump? Sure I could use a Dahl for filtering and water seperating... But since I'm keeping both tanks and the selector valve, there's going to be alot more connections so to be safe I want the air seperation as well. And who the heck knows, this truck may someday be a play toy with WAY more fuel demands than it does now.

AirDogs are pretty simple to put on our trucks if you think about it. The main reason people think it can't be done is because of the AD return line. On the SD's it returns back into the filler neck in the form of a union and t-fitting. The SD's only have one tank so that's a great choice for return.
But since ours have 2 tanks and the selector valve, instead of t-ing into the filler neck, just "t" into the factory motor return line in front of the selector valve. Pretty simple really cause it wouldn't be any more effort to customize that, than it is to cut the filler neck and such.

It sounds like we need to get Neal on this thread!
I like the idea of having a whole kit. The older I seem to get... the less time I get to work on things.
Does the CPR system have fuel heat? I need to do some research tonight.

i believe you can get a heater for the CPR kit. i went without the heater b/c one we can use additive to help prevent gelling and two i don't need a heater anyways b/c i'm in Texas and three i wanted the fuel to stay cool anyways.

I think I'm going to go with a homemade kit. I like the CPR kit, but for that kind of money is a little much. Especially when guys are saying that they did it themselves for $600.
I'm gonna start finding the parts. I'm thinking I can rig up the filters/pump before doing the complete install. I plan on using braided still hose for the lines in the valley.
I need to do some more research on the wiring of the system, but I'm thinking of using the oil pressure switch instead of the inertia.

Yea. I really want to get a good parts list together and a "how-to" written up on this deal.
600 is a bit outa my range right now. I'ma start scrounging for parts.
If people can get a good list of the fittings that are needed, that will help a lot of people.

about how much did you spend for the CPR kit and do you know what a beans system runs? How important is this mod?

i spent about $1300 on my CPR system. this mod is an awesome mod to do simply for a little better fuel mileage and no more fuel leaks. also better fuel filtration. the system really isn't very important unless you want to run stage 2 or bigger injectors. you don't even have to have it with stage 2's, but it does help b/c the stock pump will have a hard time keeping up.

I'd have travis or neal help me if i could, but you f-ers gotta live to far away.
Travis, do an Electic fuel day over at cody's this summer? :P
Electric fuel is just a more efficient and reliable system. while i like the stock system. i wanna clean up the valley in the motor and get things more efficient.
A controlled Fuel Pressure, instead of a spring and a BB. Something where I can see WTH is going on and control it.

My stock system is keeping up with the stage 1's just fine. I just want more efficiency, thats why I want an electric system.

I second the motion on the fittings. It always seems like I never get the right ones and when I get to the parts house they never have the ones I need.
There are some pretty good write-ups on the net right now. Each one kind of different, but the overall results are there.
I'm terrible at remembering to take notes and pictures when I'm doing projects likes these. It always seems like I'm 3/4 done before I remember.
