How did you come to find out your brand new reboxed chinesium now labeled made in the USA pump was bad....?I diagnosed air intrusion........all day! I checked everything, twice. And do you know what the culprit of the air bubbles were in my glass sight window?....... THE MONTH OLD FUEL PUMP FROM O'REILLY!!! That was part of the reason I couldn't figure it out quicker, I mean, how can it be the brand new pump? RIGHT? Oh well, while I was under there I noticed a drip of antifreeze under the water pump. Ughhhh, oh well, cheeper than a car payment!!!!
Ran really good, seems fine at 80mph on the turnpike.
Have an exhaust leak, a nut seems to have backed off on from the drivers side exhaust manifold to the up pipe. Should be an easy fix, and will double nut, with one standard and one locking nylon, so it doesn’t happen again.Ran really good, seems fine at 80mph on the turnpike.
Got about 14-15 mpg.
Well, since Im one of those alternative fuels weirdos I have extra filters and a 3way valve for switching tanks, so I had to disconnect each one of those and attach a hose and a 5gal bucket of diesel and then I'd stare at my sight window and watch for bubbles........why do you ask? Did you want a "Jesus Freaks air intrusion" thread?How did you come to find out your brand new reboxed chinesium now labeled made in the USA pump was bad....?
Sorry about the water pump!
I have an old school glass fuel filter(without the filter element) just before the factory fuel filter and after the fuel pump so I can watch for such things. The bubbles were really small but there was just enough air that I couldn't do hard acceleration or cruise at more than 1800rpms without loosing pressure.@Jesus Freak i ask because I still have a mechanical fuel pump with a Napa Carter that travels along as a back up.
For the record, I wanna be a weird fuel guy just like you!! Honestly I do, but I have so much on my plate that I cannot add another endeavor. And I have friends that own mechanic shops, and I know where their oil goes, to the county’s shop oil burner. And the road and bridge county manager is one of my best friends......
And I get it, everything was isolated in the system and you still had air bubbles. LPP, say you know me!! ....issues.

Just so you're aware, your exhaust temps will probably melt out the nylon so a Nylock probably won't do you much good.Should be an easy fix, and will double nut, with one standard and one locking nylon, so it doesn’t happen again.
