Complete with fuel lines and draw straw. I did order a another drawstraw and fitting tapped for my FP sensor off the CP3 from Vulcan.

Hi Guys,

Let me elaborate on the issue Dennis at NAPD brought up. The motor that we used on the AirDog that caused problems was not water proof. It had the same design that I had used on the class 8 truck model for years with great success. The big trucks did not dunk the systems under water as the pickups did. We did not know that they were not water proof. When I bought the company back after my kidney transplant, the first thing I did was to water proof those motors. The second thing was to redesign the Gearotor tower and use the 3" sealed motors and the best machining. The third thing was to give you the best customer service with direct factory contact. The fourth was to give you the best price. And now, the first with a LIFETIME WARRANTY on a fuel system. This warranty is on both the AirDog 100 & 150 and the Raptor 100 & 150.

So now you get the "Sound Physics" of the Fuel Preporator Fuel Air Separation System, the best service, the best price, and THE BEST WARRANTY in the industry.

Thanks,
Charlie Ekstam

Call me at the office on Monday after 8:00 AM Central Time. You have had that AirDog for at least three years (?) with no trouble, so unless you drive in water deep enough to dunk the tranny, you should not have a problem. Any way, give me a call.

Charlie

Ordered mine from Diesel Distributors. They're an advertiser on here. I had it sent to a US address for the free shipping and a very nice gentleman brought it up across the border for me.

Order the extra hose kit......tell 'em it's for a long box.....extra hose free in case you make a mistake. I haven't made a mistake yet, but it's not on the truck yet either........work keeps cutting into my plans.........and I cannot find smaller diameter bulkhead fittings.



Charlie: Any idea what type of parts store might carry smaller diameter bulkhead fittings? The diameter of the supplied one just will not go between other stuff in the area I want.

Talk to Phil the diesel mechanic at Wetaskwin Dodge, he deals with GDP stuff. I got my 2 Micron big line kit from him and he's installing a GDP mechanical lift pump for me soon. Also Larry at DTR will give you awesome prices, I ordered two Pacbrakes for members of my family for 1100 bucks each and i did the install for them both. Anywhere else was 1250+.

I have the supplied one from AD and the one pictured below from Vulcan:



My issue with the supplied bulkhead fitting is that it is 2" in diameter and won't fit in the spot I need. It's a huge plastic thing requiring a 1.5" hole to be drilled.............incredible.

My only issue with the Vulcan bulkhead fitting is that I'm not sure I trust the pressure fit grommet / a 1 and 1/8th" hole has to be drilled with the diameter of the grommet being 1.5". A little too big for where I need to put it.

If I could get a bulkhead fitting even with a slightly smaller diameter than the Vulcan, 1/2" ID, 90* with a push lock for the topside (like the Vulcan pictured), I'd be laughing.................I'd take two.

How much? er PM me with that...site rules and all.
