I've been crying for a while, not seeing the big mpg gains I was. kept checking the nozzels the pump, etc.
last week I drove 400+ miles ack from NY , filled up and saw 26.5 mpgs for the trip doing 60-62 the entire way. Not bad I thought, lets see how much meth i used. About a gallon. didnt see like enough.
had pressure on the lines, pull the line at the nozzels and it would spray. Whats going on?????
Got home last night and pulled the line that goes from the tank to pump and left it off. This morning the tank still had meth in it.
I remembered snow told me there was a screen in the tank at that fitting. Pulled it and sure enough it was almost totally clogged.
guess I better turn the injection rate back up a bit higher.
my quest for 30 mpgs at 65 mph is now back on!
I had about given up.
Thanks for the info... I have nearly identical truck, except im 4wd.... looking for some data to throw at the wife to justify getting a new tuner(banks vs EFIlive) and installing a H2O/meth kit. Last time i weighed my truck with empty aux tank i was 8280 lbs so your a bit heavier than me... which should be worth .1 mpg when convincing the wife .... .1mpg may not sound like much untill your driving 50-60k miles a year, then it adds up to noticable amount.

my lid is venting fine.
and all this time i thought I had a sticking solinoid or something. i was pulling the line from the tank to the pump and blowing in it, (just pushing the clog out for a few miles) I hear bubbles and think no clogg there.
its been pumping but so very little compared to normal.
i really think i would see better mpgs fine tuning using efi. havent had the time to do it. got a class in june hoping to figure it out by then.
Cats usually bathe them selves... no need to put them in the H2O/meth tank :lol:
and... im pretty sure my wife is psychic when it comes to spending money on my toys....
