     would like to thank Jonesie from www.thedieselgarage.com for taking the time and doing this test for us.

For the test: I parked my truck in it's usual spot on the driveway Placed a tape measure on the ground perpendicular to the left front wheel Placed a digi

    Accidentally putting gasoline in a diesel fuel tank I know people have accidentally pump gasoline into diesel fuel tank. The tough part is proper repair for this would be to have the truck towed to a shop or home and have the entire diesel fuel tank dumped of the gasoline and diesel fuel mixture and fresh diesel fuel put back in the fuel tank before starting the engine. Some people just are busy and not paying attention and end up grabbing the gasoline hose instead of the diesel. The quanti

    Introduction I've been adding two-cycle oil to my diesel fuel for about 110,000+ miles. So far, I've found outthat it has improved a few things like engine noise is reduced; fuel mileage increased, andknowing the fuel system is being lubricated is always a plus! I've been adding 128:1 ratio every time I fill up with fuel. So if I pump 20-25 gallons, I'll add a20-25 ounces of two-cycle oil It makes it 128:1 ratio of fuel to two-cycle oil This is relatively lowratio and with not cause any ha

    Diesel Fuel Anti-Gel Explained By:  Chuck @ Duluth Diesel http://www.twinportsales.com All diesel fuel inherently has water in it. That is why your truck has a fuel/water separator built into the fuel filter assembly that you periodically have to drain. Two things happen to diesel fuel in the cold.   The paraffin (petroleum wax) component of the diesel fuel will polymer together, forming a wax layer in yo

    Diesel Cetane Rating I'm still seeing a large amount of people that want to continue adding cetane boosters to the 2 cycle oil this is not required. Today diesel fuel is approximately 43 - 47 cetane number. Please check over on the MSDS page. Cummins Cetane Requirements for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen Trucks A Cetane rating of 40 is recommended at temperatures above 3

    Fuel/Air separation system By: Sam Martin - AKA: SamIAm @ CumminsForum.Com The principle of fuel/air separation used by Fass and AirDog uses a fuel soaked filter media to provide a barrier through which fuel flows easier than air. The design provides a path of least resistance on the inlet side of the filter for the air to follow. This is accomplished by porting the top of the filter housing on the inlet side of the filter. This is what FA

    Electric Fuel Pressure Gauges  I know a lot of people enjoy the idea of having an electric fuel pressure gauge so there is no fuel inside the cab of the truck. Most people get through the first year trouble free and no issues happen. But did they? Electric gauges are prone to the same failures like mechanical gauges. The only difference is mechanical fuel pressure gauge you can audibly hear the gauge buzz when the water hammer is occurring on a mechanical fuel pre

    Water Hammer Effects After being on several other forums and seeing people damaging mechanical and electric gauges from water hammer and not protecting them from the effects of water hammer. Some are even calling this effect "Fuel pressure Hammer." I've always suggested a needle valve because they are cheap at $8 bucks and allows you to adjust the damping for your gauge.However, let me post a video for you here to watch to explain the water hammer

    Hello Everyone! Today I will be writing up the ultimate guide for all of the FASS (Fuel Air Separation System) products. I'll start with some brief history on my truck. I first put a FASS system on my truck after finding that my replacement Dodge In-tank Replacement fuel module was failing the lift pump pressure test.  The Dodge In-tank pump was barely producing 8psi at idle which is below commonly acceptable standards of no less then 15ps

    Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel 101 (ULSD Diesel) Emissions Standards Continue to Tighten You may have heard that The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has adopted a tough set of diesel emissions standards aimed at drastically reducing the sulfur content of diesel fuel to improve air quality. A good thing indeed. To meet those standards, petroleum refiners are producing Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) or S15, a cleaner diesel fuel that ha

    Vulcan Big Line Kit Vulcan Big Line Kit was one of the best fuel system BOMB's I've done. I've down lots of research on what pump and fuel line kit to buy. The biggest thing was to find a fuel line kit that replaced all the factory banjos a plumbing. Be aware that Geno's Kit does not replace any of the banjo bolts or any of the plumbing forward of the factory lift pump. Also, Geno's kit is only 3/8" hose. Strange but true Vulcan Performance pro
