Im interested in the Air dog 100 fuel pump system. Would it work on our trucks? From what Ive read it seems to put out about 18psi max and looses about 2 psi full throttle but thats on a 3rd gen and may be regulated by the IP, I don't know. From what Ive heard our Ip can with stand about 15psi before it blows the frt shaft seal.
Would this system have to be regulated?

Has anyone tried it?

Thanks

As long as you run straight from the Air Dog to the injection pump, it will work very well. Do not run through the stock filter or you will wind up with about 10 psi under load.

 

Should a regulator be used in between or not?

 

so if i have a 15# spring at the pump and it's blowing fuel back to the filler neck under lots of pressure how does that work in the current conversation? the tech said they usually deliver the 100 w a 30# spring. which would mean the pump is generating more than that. [ i thought in the 60# range but that may have just been my impression more than fact.] fuel pres ga is the next thing on the list but i really don't think my stock inj pump is drawing the line down on the track. won't really know without a ga. though.

 

Dude...fill in your sig

And all the #'s your talking about #15 spring or what ever you might want to educate some of use. I ask these questions because I don't know.

Thanks

If I run straight to the injection pump would the pressure not be to high for the frt seal? Would I not have to regulate it?

Thanks Wanna

 

PM sent!!

As far as the AD100 kit I can order it for you with the 15# spring which means the pressure is regulated at 15psi. (makes sense ) At full throttle bypassing the stock filter/heater you should only see aprox 2psi drop at WOT. Also on the AD100 kit you dont have to add a new draw straw. (but still not a bad idea) That is only needed on the 150 kit. The only thing you may need to do is some real basic fab work as they dont currently have a bracket for the 1st gen. (took me an extra 20min) I have been loving my AD150 and have a few buddies who really enjoy theirs as well.

 

No, the Air Dog has its own regulator. If you buy it already set for 15 - 18 psi you will be ready to go.

 

These systems are bypass regulated, meaning that the pump is running flat out all the time. Fuel pressure is controlled by dumping the excess fuel back to the tank. When fuel demand is low, most of the fuel just gets dumped back into the tank.

 

Good deal, thanks for the help.

 

I would like to keep the fuel going through the heater if thats possible. Does the heater not have a purpose? To help atomize the fuel and help with cold starts. When im hunting I can be in -30-40c. Is there a filter eliminator available?

Thanks

 

The fuel heater is there to keep the filter from plugging with wax. It's not there for cold starts or better fuel economy. Heating the fuel after the fuel filters accomplishes nothing.

For operation in temps that cold, you want the fuel heater BEFORE the Air Dog to prevent those filters from getting waxed up. Davco/Fleetguard and Racor make nice heated primary filters that would do that job nicely.

 

Thanks Wanna.
Who have bypassed there fuel filter and how was it done. Pic's if you have them please.

Thanks

 

I would just run a hose straight from the Air Dog to the VE.

 

Thats what I figured as well.

Thanks
