Ah - thanks - this is good to know. I am running nothing but Idemitsu in the new engine. Have a case of it sitting in the garage. May 15th install date with Dan planned.

 

I wish you guys would drop the "premix" cause pump fiilter clogging crap.....

I doesn't happen...it's your **** gas that is plugging the filters...

I have been pre-mixing for close to 5 years...and the filter on my pumps is still spotless.....

 

The viscosity of a pre-mix shouldn't even come close to clogging that filter, don't you think? It definitely has to be something else in the fuel doing that.

 

Dirt

 

My pump had over 100k on it so i wasn't expecting it to be clean. I wish there was a way of testing gas.

 

Buy gas at new gas stations...they have new plastic clean tanks.....and do high volume...therefore cleaner gas

Old stations with old tanks have years of accumulated crap on the bottom...and it gets in the gas...especially if you are lucky enough to be there right after they fill the tanks up.....

Or if they are sucking the last bit out of the bottom.

 

I will have to do that, I only use Shell but one of the stations I use is quite old. There is a new one near by, I will have to use that one from now on.

 

Jeff stopped by?

 

 

sausage fest alert !!!!!

 

^wow I loled that picture so hard that my aunt thought I was nutz rofl lmao !


hmm ... so i can use the fuel pump tool if i buy a pump from you guys? :D
(I kinda want to get the Mazda tool, but @ 200+ bux for maybe 2-3 times use is kinda ... )

need to put deposit ? :P

Btw, I only use Idemitsu

 

Just got my pump... that fuel pump tool is pimp. Installing it tomorrow!

 

I think I may be needing a pump very soon, lol. After a few nice days of enjoying how well everything flows now I suddenly found that I was leaning out before I could get to full throttle. Like it can flow enough fuel to get past 26.80lbs/min of airflow. Tho this is similar to what happened to my 7, never thought about replacing the pump till I cleaned up and increased the flow in the carb then the pump ran fine for a couple weeks then slowly stopped flowing the fuel needed.

Oh the irony of this situation too, soon as all my startup issues are in the clear something else crops up lol. Hey at least I'm seeing upwards of 23mpg right now :p tho my EGT is something close to 1900*F at the hottest now (was only seeing upwards of 1800*F before).

 

holy fawk 9k, that filter looks terrible.
switch to Idemitsu, find a better (newer) gas station.

 

Yeah, I only use Shell 93 (always have) and only use the same couple of Shell stations but there is a new one by the house so i will try and only use that one from now on. I wish there was some type of filter you could put in the gas inlet to further it even more

 

I will definitely be using a new gas station from now on.
