Hey Guys,
Well, apparentely the fuel was allready turned up in my truck, Ive only been driving it a month, but I could not tell because It harly ever spit black smoke, and was weak as crap. Then I put Denny's pin In there and the truck woke up. I can dump black smoke now anyway, 8o% if the smoke is at low boost and just a tick of smoke after that but I went to check the fuel screw status and im pretty sure its been turned most of the way down. The screw looks almost against the collar and theres allready enough smoke to go around and I dont need more. The thing that makes me nervous is that, about every 1 in 40 starts, the trucks will roll over about 5 times, which yall know if these things dont crank on the first r sencond roll, something is up. Anyway I can mash the gas one time and the truck fires up. But Ive been doing some reading on the lift pumps and have read that if the fuel is turned way up with a stock lift pump, that the pump will push 0 psi and act almost as a hindrance with the injector pump pulling its own fuel. I bought a 2 gen piston lift, that was brand new and the boy ran for a week. Ive got the pump, 4 screws, a spacer for the pump, and thats it. Im calling Vulcan tomorrow to see how much their regulator is, and I know their is information in the sticky, but what hardware am i going to need besides 1/2 inch hose from tank to lift pump to make this system work well? Thanks guys

Bout how much is that regulator gonna set me back?

 

Did everybody have a meeting and decide to blackball me?

 

From what I have been told, a regulator can be anywhere from $100-$300. I don't know how accurate that is though, as I haven't looked into it.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

 

I searched vulcan's site and couldn't find anything

they used to make them, i can't think of anyone off the top of my head that did this 2nd gen pump

 

Hopefully Vulcan can steer me in the right direction if ill call them.

 

Aeromotive makes nice regulators, I'm running #13204, adjustable from 3-15psi. Around 150 IIRC.

 

Thanks soggy, yea ive heard of the aeromotive, but thats a pretty pricey regulator right?

 

We still have them. Not sure why Eric does not have them on the site. Give us a call in the morning.

Dave

 

I did not even know Vulcan was a member vendor here

 

Or you can get this swagelok adjustable cracking pressure check valve on a tee: B-8CPA2-3

http://www.swagelok.com/search/produ...part=B-8CPA2-3

I've got the 1/4" version right now, and think its too small, going to get this one and try it out, I think it'll flow much better and control pressure better.

oh its about $50

 

I got started putting mine on today. I too used the Aeromotive#13204.

I am using 1/2" lines, it is kind of a PITA.

 

About how much is the Aeromotive #13204?
