Marty's Diesel Fuel Systems

[Adamv7010]

It went from 60 - 45. We were also running out of fuel towards the end of the day so that figure might be skewed. Earlier in the day I didn't see any drop. The walbro kit on a 6.0L did 575 on fuel. The A-1000 kit is now on there and the fuel pressure hasn't dropped at all. Then again we haven't ran it that low on fuel either.

Gotcha. That's not horrible...I thought you meant it dropped to 15 psi...

The a1000 would probably be better suited for 205s

Maybe, we didn't pickup mph or et switching to the A-1000. Also, on the street romping around and what most people would do 99% of the time we never saw it budge. I really feel the time we saw it drop was because of low fuel and launching at the track.


FWIW, just got off the phone with two 7.3L customers that have 250/100's and a walbro full kit. Neither have seen the fuel pressure move since the install.

Move over PSN. The new best PSD site has arrived!!!

I had 1 a1000 fail...and I sent it back to aero motive...they sent me a new one...but the explanation the tech Gave me was pretty cool...

According to him by theory all a1000 will fail when run with the style regulated return we all use. He said by design the regulated returns cause alot of positive pressure feeding back into the pump from the engine...

Ever heard of this?

No, when you order an A-1000 the box it comes in has instructions on running it in a bypass regulator system. Part of the reason you do a regulated return system on the pump is to keep cool fuel flowing through the pump. That's how the pump cools itself. If you run it in a deadhead style fuel system fuel will collect inside, heat up, and that causes failures with them.

yup. The guy at Aeromotive was misunderstanding you.

yup. The guy at Aeromotive was misunderstanding you.

I agree with you guys..

His fix was to regulate accordingly before & after the heads...but feed both ends of the head, and return through the factory port on the fpr , with a new line, back to the tank

:wtf:

lol

Yea were on the same page...Iol

nice to see someone got with the program, and using swivel unions.

i hated all the kits i have seen with the jumper hoses to connect the filter heads to the pump. looked like chit.

 

[Built 6.7]

i would really like something like this for my 6.7

I've been doing it for awhile. Unfortunately getting filter bases was tricky. Well I now have $3,000 in filter bases sitting here due to a back order dilemma. Time to sell!

Responded, we can see what we can do.

Ha no doubt

Maybe I should regulate it at the pump...then the stock fpr ...then on the return.. maybe again before it finally goes back to the tank?

Late to post cause I wanted to wait until I had a chance to wash truck before posting any photos, but doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

Full kit install by Marty's shop on a 2002 7.3L using an Aeromotive A-1000. Been very happy with it and have not seen any fueling issues on the street. Keeps up with 250/200's no problem. Have not had an opportunity to take it out to the strip.

Marty is a Powerstroke wiz, and will go above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. Standup guy to deal with. Kit itself has had a lot of careful consideration, and is well-designed.

Any pics of the 6.0 kit? Mainly the regulated return portion.

I have one of marty's last dual pump setups, and I have to say the quality is amazing. It went on the truck as easy as anything I have ever done. And it came with everything, plus a few extra fittings. Great kit!

You can mount it on the alternator, map sensor or anywhere else that you deem appropriate. You have enough line and several extra fittings to be sure you aren't left stranded.

so have you figured out anything for the 6.7 yet?
