    Ok ive checked it and all bolts are tightly screwed...
    However, i tried to activating the pump without the engine turn on, the pump never priduce a single racking sound instead, i notice theres alot of vibration in the hose and kinda air pockets. So i disconnect the nozzle and turn the pump on.. And viola! So many air pockets..

    Im using my windshield washer bottle as my tank which has a 4.xx liters.

    I set my float level switch to light up less than or equal to 2 liters.. That is why i never ran out of juice..




    QUESTION:
    We all know diesel also lubricates the walls of our cylinder right? By using water/meth it steam cleans the walls and taking also the lubrication made by the diesel fuel.. Our putting more stress factor to our engine? Pistong rings may put grooves on our cylinder walls?

    Pls advise, need inputs.

    Sir as per my understanding diesel only lubricates fuel system parts, ie fuel injection pumps et.c. But cylinder liners and piston rings are lubes by our engine oil.

    Just FYI, for every liter of fuel burnt you make around a liter of water vapor in the internal combustion process.

    Guys lets try to keep this thread alive..

    I recently realized that ive been running with lots of air pocket in my pump.. Awhile ago, i bled my system and change my nozzle from 4gph to 2gph(thanks dvldoc).
    Im surprised! Its a night and day difference! Power is so refined!! And i really could feel the kicking of the injection (40/60 denatured/H2O)

    And the "rak-ka-tak" sound is gone!

    Is the 4gph the standard set up for your rig and the 2gph is the recommendation from dvldoc? What is your ride/engine?

    The only reason you can get air pockets is if the pick up is getting uncovered, And he was spraying to much for that engine with the newer pump and new nozzle design which put out more output.

    I think he evaluated on different nozzle sizes and came out with 4gph. Also the float connection may not be on an ideal position. Very easy to register as no fluid in the controller at short distance use.

    My level sensor lights up less than 2 liters left which is too early hence i never ran out of fluid.

    Regarding air pockets, symptoms is too much vibration during operation.
    Always bleed the air out whenever you ran out of fluid.

    In my case, I forgot to bleed the air out since the day i installed the kit thats the reason im hearing loud "rakatak" sound.

    Since your tank is just 4 liter capacity and the trigger point is half of your tank, so you won't be able to use it for long distance without refilling it.

    Dvldoc, will the controller shutdown the pump or lessen the pump pressure if the controller is registering no fluid?

    No it just warns you, The pump can be run dry so it does not need to turn off the pump.
