Who knows? With OPEC severely cutting production, it will probably go back up. (another reason for more domestic drilling) In fact, my SIL said last night that the RaceTrack in Plano where he goes went up $.10/gal, for regular unleaded, yesterday.

 

Yes...but they felt that it wasn’t going to do much good as oil prices still were slumping even after they announced the cut...so..we shall see...i dont really understand it...but from what they (MSNBC) said again, investors are not willing to take the risk now...hence the low prices...which proves that price of oil was not being driven by simple supply and demand....but what do i know..i only burn the crap.....

 

Since today seems a slow day for the DTR, I thought I'd share my morning expirience with everyone.

Annoymous

 

No wonder 75 was backed up today!


On a related note, I took everyone's advice and procured a nubile young female for myself.

 

The way you put that makes me wonder if she is something other than human.

 

Ha! That's a good one.

Good for you!

Thanks for clearing that up for the Neanderthals, Charlie!

 

...at first Charlie though you just misspelled gullible....guess that could have worked too! Congrats Mike...i think...if i understand the definition of nubile correctly! Unless its a fancy way of saying "Banging"......then double thumbs up with a Rick Astley popped collar!!

 

If she's with me, gullible just comes with the territory...

 

Been playing with the Quadzilla Adrenaline and realized the new Pulse monitor can read Fuel Temp (among about 20 other fun readings).

Got a question - 19* OAT this am and my fuel temp was reading over 90*??

With the aftermatket FASS and no factory fuel heater hooked up.....
-How is the fuel getting so warm so quickly?
-Where is the Cummins computer reading it?
My guess is the temp sensor is in/near the fuel pump. Anyone know?

EDIT:

Disregard my previous statement.

The fuel temp sensor in the fuel heater assembly is not computer controlled. There is a separate temp sensor built into the VP44 that the is used to monitor fuel temperature. It's purpose is to set a code in the event of high fuel temp, but I suppose the Pulse could read the signal to give you an output of fuel temp within the pump.

 

Thanks for the research. I looked in a couple of places and saw nothing.
So I guess the VP-44 cooks the fuel to 90* just by pushing it through the rotary pump. Seem pretty high temp for initial start up on a very cold morning....No?
But if sensor is just past the pump and considering the high fuel pressure generated ..... serious temps may not be unreasonable. Opinions?

Little test this morning myself... Ambient temp 38* No plug in..

Started truck, high idle (bout 1100), exhuast brake on.. 10 mins of running water temp at 177* and blowing great warm air.. Think I figured my cold weather morning routine!

 

Hey - At least 5 errors in your signsture. Time for an update?
Just noticed the Dyno torque!!

RJ

 

Better?? ...
