my airdog frrp lasted about 2000 miles this summer, so I put the newer stock carter on it just to get by. 2 weeks ago I posted a myriad of cold start problems, either fuel, fuel delivery, or just too dang cold issues.
So, besides lucking out with a break in that cold snap, replacing filter, and dumping in more #1 and conditioner, I noticed the carter was not sounding very healthy too.
For this go round, I put on a Fass drp 02. I got it bolted up, blue line cut to length, banjo fittings pressed in, and proceeded to 'blindly' cut the flex line for the addition of the supplied suction filter. I intended to have that filter somewhere the starter motor, frame rail, and brake lines wouldn't rub. (plus try to keep it as close to engine heat as possible).
As soon as I cut it, I was screwed. For some reason I never thought the 3/8ths flex hose was just a sheath protecting the 5/16ths (or metric equiv.) hard plastic liner. The reason I said 'hard', was because it was 3 below zero that day.... and very unforgiving of rebending/moving without kinking. All forward progress that day ended.
Trip to town for 4 foot of 3/8ths fuel injection line, (looks like normal fuel line, but has a thin liner) and a napa gold 3270 inline 3/8ths 140 micron screen.
I've never been a fan of pulling through a filter, that's why I left the fass supplied fram G 2 filter in the box!!
Seriously??
it was 5/16ths, but no way in heck I was going to stuff that into a rock hard factory line..
I cut the factory line off the steel frame line, and my new 3/8ths slipped perfectly over. a couple of worm clamps on each side of the flare, I was in business.
I put a temp gauge on my shrader fitting, and it appears to idle with 18-19 psi.
When weather permits, I sure would like to run a minimum of 3/8ths from tank all the way, PLUS I'd like to 'manifold' (in parallel) 2 of these screen filters. Plus run a permanent fuel pressure gauge. I've seen talk in here with the needle valve for dampening the sending unit.... how about these snubbers I found on ebay for 19 bucks? they have a 8 thousanths hole in the bolt that replaces the factory banjo fitting bolt... and goes to a regular pipe fitting for attaching the sending unit. Seems like a sanitary way to kill 2 birds with one stone...
I'm bone stock, and no plans for any 'upgrades' to this.
THIS pump got 'registered' as soon as I got it from DAP! (thanks dap for shipping fast!)
