Yep.. works fine. Forget the corney keg and powering it with truck air. The 24V surflow pumps give all the pressure you need and are cheaper as well as a whole lot easier to plumb. As for the settings, use the Auber gauge and set the trip to 1000 degrees. The hobbes switch is cheap, but you...

Distilled water likes to pick up ions. (As in galvanic corrosion) Tap water works just fine. Ethylene/Propylene glycol works as antifreeze and doesn't interfere with combustion on the miniscule scale it is introduced. Oh, and the reason methanol is bad is the same reason Propane is bad... the...

Oh... and thanks for the pump tip! I just picked up this http://www.pumpagents.com/pdf/ShurfloPumps/8000-853-238.pdf

If it won't be exposed to pressure, then you have a lot of options. You need to make sure the tank can be removed or completely drained/RV antifreeze the system for cold weather because methanol causes problems with multifuels. (It lifts the heads) Most of us do some camping, so a potable water...

Ssweet!! If they are holding up for them, then I guess I'll give it a shot myself. As for the hobbes switch... just trigger it with an EGT. More accurate and more frugal with the water.

A $50 75psi electric pump that can handle water in the small volume we are describing? Please link it. I would love to find one. The closest I have found were cheap ($75-$125) plastic diaphragm pumps I wouldn't trust much past a water fountain.

No, psychobob IIRC did build the proof of concept and ran it. I'm in Michigan, Projects only happen during the warm months in Heathworld. I need to line my tanks and install. By the way, the whole point of this is to AVOID putting a pump on it. Pump kits are available off the shelf for...

I have my tanks. And brackets to mount them under the truck. EGT install happening this week. I'll source the parts as soon as I settle some other stuff I'm working on. I'll add my pics and build notes as I go.

Before you buy your keg, see if you can source a couple of "extra" M35A2 air tanks... plain janes, not the one for the split system. (iirc one of the split system tanks is an oddball for some reason, but I'll double check before saying for certain. ) Each air tank is a bit over 3gal, and can...

I have a better tank option.... More to come. It has larger volume and I think we can make it safe for drinking. It should give me 7 gallons and a bunch of options.

Considering the options, I might just stick with the Corney Keg... at least to start with. I'm just trying to think of a better low-cost pressure tank that can fit in either the pioneer rack location, or the gap behind the cab. Those two areas seem the best protected, yet accessible for filling...

I'm bumping this back up for the spring build season. I have my EGT and the boost gauge. I'm shopping Parker solenoid valves. I have been debating the "Corny Keg" and making a tank out of sched 40 or 80 PVC. Air line connected to the top, a fill port, and the drain and output line on the...

Unless you guys have anything to say otherwise, I'm going with this one. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=231:0236b2429eab3d0eee3c32fab3cd1f3e Red LED, sealed tip probe, 24v, standard length cable.

Dude! Long time no see! Yeah, the gun stuff is on the back burner. I have bigger toys to worry about. (And school) I'm shopping for my EGT right now. I'm getting the Auber Instruments, but I can't decide on which probe or color screen. I'm thinking short with the 1/8th NPT bung and the blue...

Winter build season... cabin fever... tax returns.... I'm shopping pyros right now, and unless someone knows of a better deal, the Auber Instuments seems to be the best option. I will be using the EGT triggered design for my build. Boost gauge as well. I'll post my progress as it comes together.

I almost have my truck winterized. I think it's going to be up to the guys in warmer places to carry on the testing for the next 4 months. :evil:

You came from cars. This isn't for increasing "boost"... the turbo's primary function is providing more air to cool the cylinder... It's a diesel thing. (Edit: Cooling is not the right term... adding air does help in power production, but on these engines it was primarily to reduce smoke)...

You have a blow out option. Drain the tank and jump the switch to manually push the truck air through it. Or, you could put some RV antifreeze in the tank and hit the button with the nozzle unhooked. I think triggering by egt is going to solve the water usage issues. Edit: I just got what you...

As designed from the initial test data. Keep in mind that alternative fuels and cranking the smoke screw will vary the needs for your truck. Also, the flow will be determined by the system pressure. We have also determined that EGT is the best way to trigger the system. Boost triggering...
