    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    Different fuel characteristics respond differently in the combustion process. Most of you might know the BTU and octane based differences such as those in ethanol, methanol, vs gasoline. But there are similar difference in oil's such as K1, D1, D2, Jet-A or Jet-B blends. Then we can get deeper...

    The fuel returns run through a liquid to liquid cooler on front of the engine. Plus it's got a 300gal fuel tank capacity. I ditch the factory fuel temp sensors and use the ecm input and pid to monitor oil temp on the marine stuff. That also lets me defuel on oil temp and IAT 2, which is...

    Not a known issue with any of Exergy stuff. However pressure related wear has been noted in other Bosch units that run sustained high rpm on say l, Jet A. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    For now we are gonna call it a fluke issue, unless the autopsy says otherwise.. But since we have two engines, if she guts that other 12mil, then we will know where to start cutting new gear sets .. :rolleyes:

    Not that easy to remake the wheel/gear ratio. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    New 12mm pump arrived today, is bolted up, and the charge cooler back on top. Exergy guys were great to work with. Last thing remaining is mounting the turbo. My helper over last few days told me about some marine exhaust sealer he's had great luck with. Say is the chit to seal up leak prone...

    This week is looking up.. New lift pump showed up this morning, followed by a call from a Summit Racing rep who read my survey above. Apologized for delay and refunded my $35 shipping. Second, Randy from Exergy rang me up to say they had just started tearing the CP3 pump apart, and it doesn't...

    My kid is a UPS center mgr, and he gave me 50/50 odds on that CP3 overnight yesterday based on Louisville volume and exceptions. Buddy of mine got stuck in Nashville airport for two days from Sunday. But why the heck they can't get air freight outa GA has got me. Ground would have made here it...

    I'll have that lift pump back in action soon than later. Likely much sooner if the one I ordered last Sunday doesn't find it's way south of GA by morning. The CP3 made it from Florida to Michigan today with 3 minutes to spare on the overnight clock. So gonna let Summit ponder my satisfaction...

    That seems to be the exact concencus on the street. Will be interesting to see what the autopsy reveals. I'd say it's a boat thing, high sustained rpm. But I've been working around some guys lately who spin em 3600r loaded for hours straight before their engines ever leave the shop to be...

    I overnighted it to Phil, which was probably a waste of $ since my overnight Summit order from GA to FL is 3 days late. That's even off the good engine which didn't have a lift pump failure, or spin 6000rpm once. And they have 10 micron water separators, into 1 micron filters after the lift...

    Pump is out and headed to MI. Looks like she shit her guts out the bottom, but detected no signs of metal in rails or injector feeds. So that's a good sign I guess. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Yeah something beat the plug out. Found part of a spring in the debris also. It's headed to Exergy tomorrow for an autopsy. Certainly not a common point of failure with stock or modified pumps. I found one diesel tech that has seen 2 similar over the years, both drove in shop pouring fuel...

    Someone please tell me what these pieces do.. Found em in the valley, and they seem to belong inside the 12mm... Can't be to important, it still ran fine... Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Yep, they are made by SX, labeled under a few different names. 160gph with adjustable internal bypass. I've had good luck with em, even though they started stickering them with Not For Diesel Use. Simple rotary vane, rebuildable. I ordered a new one, gonna crack that one open tomorrow and see...

    I've bragged about these self regulating SX pumps for 10 years, and then have one straight up fail on me. How dare them sell me the only bad unit out there. Luckily always carry a spare. Being attached to the other engine makes the job a bit more time consuming.. Sent from my SM-G892A using...
