Turbovinnie,


I directly quote my sources. Anyone that wants can check where my information came from. These folks didn't post their information for it NOT to be used.


Or, are you saying that Frank Blum, George Morrison, John Kennedy and gwmayes are all wrong and only YOU are right?


Where's your sources? A sales brochure?


Of course Frank's switching around some facts did have us a little confused there on the little bubble vs cavity contents in the cavitation issue.


Right Frank?

I personally think there's benefits to having less air as stated above.......not that I think just a lift pump and a couple of good filters would maKe afuel preporator but if the small bubbles were reduced in any amount and fuel cleaner some of the results would be similar........I think this link has been around before if you have not seen it then check it out. http://www.fuelpreporator.com/theStory.html


I lot of this makes sense to me... of course they are trying to sell a product. Just my opinion and not the twisted and spun opinons of other good people.

Mr X Isn't that called "Plagiarism" when you use someones words without their permission? Do you really know anything about this topic or just using someone else's knowledge you are posting on? Only time will tell which set up is best and maybe 50,000 miles from now, all of us will wish we did something different, but that will be our choice and not yours. I don't have any secondary filter yet, but I am going to put one on and all your " Someone said this was good" remarks will not sway me one bit. What I choose will be on my back.
Have a good day!!!

Directly quoting someone's statements made in a public forum and providing attribution of each statement by name and date of their statements is the exact opposite of plagiarism.


All of these cheap accusations are easy - cheap shots. Please provide one instance wherein I twisted someone's words to fit some kind of agenda.


THESE ARE THE VIEWS OF THE TOP EXPERTS POSTED IN A PUBLIC FORUM FOR ALL TO SEE AND TO BENEFIT FROM.


I have never, ever taken credit for their pioneering work. To the contrary I am very careful to provide full attribution to the original authors.


So now because of your own personal animus towards me, (The famous "Mr X)," their hard pioneering and research work is worthless because I have quoted them?


All of this name calling and deliberate disregard of expert opinion in favor of slamming me seems kind of infantile.


TX-DMAX, get yourself a secondary filter on that truck!

a bear,


Per your advise I did some digging. But first you r very own words of 9/8/03:


a bear said:
Did Kennedy sell you that lift pump after you had a stall? Nope and also no stall.

a bear said:
Dig! Dig! Dig! You will never catch me in a lie. I told you in the past It's not my style. The truth is always easy to remember.

a bear,


Seems like, contrary to your denail, you DID have no start and stalling problems from the Mega filter.


a bear post of 4/3/03:


a bear:


...Did I get a no start if the Mega was not bled after about 350-400 mi ? YES<BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">My best guess is that the air that would normally pass through the system in very small quantities and undetected accumulates in the Mega over time. In my case 350-400 mi. Then after setting a while the truck is started, runs for about 10 secs. Then Gulp..


Sounds to me like it sure does stall after running 10 sec. Hate for my wife w/kid to be pulling out in traffic around here and stall like that.

Talk about quotes:


"Open the hood on your 03 GM truck some night and admire that beatuful engine. Oops sorry, forgot, GM decided a underhood light was too exspensive ona $45,000 truck."


Now that's a fact.


Thanks Sam, I needed that

Mr X,


Stall and no start is a little bit different. I think it was common knowledge on the DP that I did experience a no start. I posted it more than once. Man you are so easy. I did expect that reply by the way. You are now so predictable. I guess the definition of stall and no start will be next. That would be real lame. But again....



Like I told you before, being dishonest was not in my up bringing. Why is that so difficult for you?



On edit: Didn't you drive some 150 miles to have a qualified mechanic install your filter.

Turbovinnie,


I agree that eliminating air and burning pure fuel would boost performance. However, I do not believe that the lift pump eliminates air. I believe it just keeps it from vaporizing.


a bear,


In plain English I'd say that if a truck starts, then stops, that's a stall.


For example, if my wife starts the truck and is halfway out into oncoming traffic, and then it stops, I think the policeman would call that a "stall."


Now if a truck don't start, then that is a "no start."

I knew it! I knew it! Man you are so easy.


Well I guess one could interpret it differently. I usually associate a stall with a moving vehicle or some place one would shelter an a_s. Where do you stay.

a bear,
Dictionary definition of “stall”

- The sudden, unintended loss of power or effectiveness in an engine.
- To cause (a motor or motor vehicle) accidentally to stop running.
- To stop running as a result of mechanical failure.



What part of "stall" don't you get?


GOTCHA!

I don't have any additional filtration or a lift pump on my truck. My truck still has the stock fuel system. I don't think adding a filter after 65000 miles will do me any good. Maybe dirty fuel has already "doomed" my injectors but I doubt it. I want to see how far I can go "performance wise" on the stock fuel system so I won't be altering it unless there is a real performance gain to be had. Additional filtration won't make the truck any faster or pull farther so I'm not persuing cleaner fuel. IF my injectors ever do go south I'll just put a set of bigger aftermarket ones in anyway.

I think GM/Isuzu/Bosch/IHI did a great job on this motor when you look at how much power it is capable of making with just computer tuning. 500RWHP and high 12's out of a 4wd crewcab truck isn't too bad. The Powerstroke and the Cummins can't come close to the power the Duramax in making when those two have to use the stock turbo, stock injectors and stock fuel system, without using nitrous or propane.

mtomac,

If we are experiencing mileage improvements with better filtration it is possible that would translate into a small performance gain. You have said in the past, every little bit counts.

Make sure when you get performance injectors that they aren't simply using old style soft-seat cores.

You are gettin 500RWHP?

The combo I'm running right now dynoed 489 on another truck.

My mileage sucks 15-16 running these big boxes, its' hard to keep your right foot out of it

I'm looking for another 50-100 hp. I doubt a filter is giving much of a performance increase. I'm concentrating on other things like, bigger downpipe, water injection, bigger injectors, bigger turbo, nitrous, making the truck lighter, drivshaft loops, roll bar, ect.

I would buy a new set of injectors or have my old ones modified. I know about the oh-ones. Edited by: mtomac

Turbovinnie,

chuntag95 ran clear line from the fuel tank to the pump w/o any mods or added filters, and discovered that air or outgassing of fuel vapors regularly occurs in our stock trucks.

Below is a quote from a64pilot, an Apache helicopter test pilot who was one of the first to state that pressurizing our fuel system would stop the vaporization. However, he also stated taht our fuel systems were engineered for this vaporization and that it hasn't been a problem.

Just providing some more pertinent expert opinion in reply to your post about air, and, answering a bear's question about my install.


Aren't I allowed?


Don't have time for the War Room if you cannot back up cheap shots with facts/example.
