Airdog 165 died

Is it still pulling fuel though the filter is the airdog is not pumping? Im just curious if the motor is not pumping does the fuel bypass the unit all together. I guess Airdog is off today because I keep getting their VM.

yes. even if airdog fails and isnt running your cp3 will still pull fuel from the tank.

And yes, it does go through the filters.

Yeah I know that but will it still pull it through the airdog filter. If I have the engine fuel filter bypassed am I getting unfiltered fuel?

 

[SickLL7Crenshaw]

No like Josh stated above its still being filtered whether the airdog is off/on.

Indeed, it will go through the filters of the airdog, whether it is running or not.
My airdog II motor died after 20k miles... Fuel leaked along the axle of the rotor and locked the electrical connectors inside.
Disassembled it and cleaned it out, replaced filters (prefilled the water separator) and now it is running again.
I noticed the problem by the lack of the sound of a running airdog (duh) and slower throttle response.

Now I tilt the AD a bit so if it leaks again along the motor axle, the fuel would leak at the front instead of
contaminating the rear of the motor where the contacts are...
