since I put on the kit from wideopendiesel I have had a couple pressure flucuation changes. I just replace my fuel filter today. I was wondering if anyone that uses this set-up has cleaned the prestrainer and how is it done?
Thanks

I have the same kit from wideopendiesel and also have had some pressure flucuations. When I drive, the pressure drops from 18 to 16 with normal driving throttle. When I give lots of throttle, the pressure will jump up to about 20 psi. Not sure if this is normal or not. Just in the last few days when I first fire up the motor, pressure shoots up to about 23 psi and drops down when I start to drive. Never did that before since I put the kit in back in February. Not sure what to check.

What kind of flucuations are you seeing?

The pressure at my vp-44 is 16 to 17 at idle, 14-15 at 60mph 12-13 at wot normally. Sometimes it will drop to 10 while accelerating and stay there for a while, then bounce back to normal. I not overly concerned since this is much better then the stock carter pump was operating at and still better pressurers than the intank pump.

I'm going to adjust the regulator when I get home week after next. Going to Hawaii tomorrow for a week. I'd like to see my #'s where yours are.
