I just happened across your video, JB weld + Pressure = time delayed bomb. Hooking pressure up to the test port and not blocking back flow through the fuel pump can be bad news. It would work better to adapt your hose to the pressure side of your fuel supply. And blocking the return line. That chev/gmc runs on 55 to 60psi without damaging injectors.
Fuel pump has a check valve so it should not flow back to the tank thru the fuel line unless the check valve is defective. It could leak back to the tank thru the return line if the pressure applied is greater than the pressure maintained by the fuel pressure regulator during normal running operation.
I was waiting for you to say in hindsight i shoulda wrapped the tape on first lol. I havent had my boat out in two summers, im thinking it wouldn't hurt to make myself one of these, I've been dreading what problems ill have when i do get it out. I used seam foam in it before storing it because i was told it was better than stabil, but still two years sitting im sure it cant hurt to give it a good cleaning.
Mr. Luke...Please have fire safety measures ready for your DIY videos..I am a true gearhead for the cause to help everyone...Try Star tron enzyme fuel treatments for gas/Diesel..PEA/Alcohol/Naptha.....
Great way to stick it to the man Luke! Why pay an insane amount of money when (in your case) you can fabricate your own. I know what you mean about the Cicadas. I hate hearing them in the dog days of Summer every year. Have you had many rides on your Hawk lately?
LOL yeah, the cleaners online were just containers with fittings and hoses. I couldn't see how they can charge over $100. I hadn't got to ride it as much as I would like. A few times to work and to the store.
Wow, those cleaners are only like $49. Large diameter galvanized pipe and fittings are stupid expensive now. 😳😳. Could use PVC, I suspect that would work and bring the price down.
Great take on a simple fuel rail cleaner. I loved the scenery on the drive in Kentucky. My German shepherd would gladly look at you and ask are you going to finish that? My old dog enjoys eating and digging tank traps. Have you tried any other fuel cleaners you think are as good as the Berryman?
I have tried several and Berryman seems to work best. It is of course subjective because the injectors can have different types of impurities in them. I would say most good cleaners would work well.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Why is this setup with the canister so different than just simply adding a couple quarts of B12 cleaner directly to an EMPTY fuel tank and letting it idle?
The tank will never be completely empty. there will always be at least a gallon or two of gas that the pump cant pick up. A gas tank should never be ran down that low anyway. It is really hard on the fuel pump to run exposed to the air and sucking up air bubbles. It will severely shorten the life of the pump. I never let mine get below a quarter of a tank for that reason. This is a much easier and controllable way to add the cleaner with a known amount.
