This waiting for parts bs is killing me!

[draggin50]

Well Ill be waiting on parts now. Was driving up and fuel pump took a shit... Just cruising along and it died. Pounded on the pump and got it running enough to get it on the trailer. Still went up and watched with Setty but it was to damn cold so I left. Gonna be a struggle to get it done now for the cruise in...

Atleast its an external pump. Holley 1800 Dominator pump. $423 to the door from Jegs.

That Sucks Brian ...

[Rick93coupe]

That does suck, I've been reading that lots of guys were having problems with them... They just recently went through a redesign on the case.

[draggin50]

I think the E85 has a lot to do with it. I took it off, took it all apart and it is a mess inside... Ill post up pictures in my project thread.

[USMCPONY]

Well darn. I guess I missed two chances to be on top lol. Exrider416 wasn't getting fuel and niether was you. Guess I'll have to settle for 3rd from now on.

[draggin50]

At this rate I wont be hard to beat! All you have to do is show up!!!

[USMCPONY]

Ive been told you're not suppose let e85 sit more than a couple of weld. If you have to sit longer mix it with 93.

[draggin50]

Im about to have it tuned back on 93 to avoid the problems! It just sucks to lose the power that is available with it and the price. But with me having to drive 25 miles one way to get E85, its almost worth it.

Ive heard mixed reviews on letting it sit but Im with you. I think over time it does gel up and get nasty. Just from what I have seen in my pump.

Brian, I ran E85 for 2 years, letting my car sit in an unheated garage the whole time and never had but one issue with the fuel system. That one problem was the filters clogged after running E85 for a while. I cleaned them out and never had another issue. It cleaned grease, hair, oil, and a bunch of unidentified shit out of my tank, lol. Keep checking your filters, especially the pre-filter.

[draggin50]

I'm going to stick with it. Just have to maintain a little better. I hate to lose the power it makes!

[NXcoupe]

I agree, i never gave it a second thought, I knew it would work, just looked at it as now I have a very clean fuel tank, lol.

[exrider416]

So who wants to race for the first spots Friday at Edgewater? My car is running better now.

[draggin50]

I gotta work and I haven't swapped fuel pumps yet or I'd be there! I may try to make some passes at the Sunday test at kilkare though.

[WCKDGT]

damn with everydody waiting on parts, I could make it on w my shitty 13 sec pass last Thursday lol

[draggin50]

Hell never know!! Post them up! Only 1 guy on the list so far. And maybe we can get some racing lined up soon. I'm ready to see some action!

[WCKDGT]

im gonna try to get to edgewater this Friday to improve on it. im just not launching this thing hard enough. should easily be in the 12's

[draggin50]

Yeah you have the MPH. Get that 60ft down and it will go 12's with ease!

[SN95N/A]

[2Fast4You]
