Fuel System Maintenance is KEY!!!

Cheers mate, great stuff 👍🏻👌🏻

So how does stock fuel system from factory never clog injectors with no filter and just a sock around pumps. Answer that

[@maximusvonce1381]

Stock fuel system from factory never clogs injectors or sticks them open and it has only a sock around pumps..Answer that

[@maximusvonce1381]

My 900wheel fully built Boss Roadrunner Gen3r e85 motor had an FIC 1000cc injector fail me at 18k miles. The number 7 injector stuck open and flooded my motor which caused engine to Hydrolock and now i need rebuild. FIC told me they found microscopic metal and rubber in the injector when they cleaned it and the debris supposedly got stuck between needle and plunger and caused Injector to stick open and flood motor with e85..I took all the precautions and had 10 micron steel filter after the pump with new fresh e85 in tank every other day. Injector Dynamics told me after this happened to never use a steel mesh 10 micron post pump filter cause they tested them and the steel mesh doesn't catch anything 30 microns and smaller. So injector Dynamics said only to use a 10-12 micron microglass fuel filter..All these companies like Deatchwerks, Fore, Vmp still sell these stainless steel 10 micron post pump filters but Injector Dynamics said they are garbage and even though they claim to be 10 micron they are actually more like 30 micron plus. Sucks cause Deatchworks told me the stainless steel was ok to use but no one has actually tested them but Injector Dynamics. Injector Dynamics is without a doubt the best Injectors company around and the only company to actually test the stainless steel mesh 10 micron filter compared to 10 micron microglass. I am not blaming FIC but how come only 1 Injector supposedly got debris in it and the other 7 were clean. FIC said they cleaned the #7 injector and its fine now. I ain't taking a chance again with my expensive motor so ID1300'S are the only way to go. No idea what causes Injector to stick open after being perfect for 18k miles..Maybe the coil went bad inside #7 fic injector and coil went bad in open position causing motor to flood. Who the fck knows, but now I know why everyone making big power on e85 only use ID1300'S like you do. My 68 Mustang fuel injected 438windsor runs Microglass 10 micron post pump filter and never any injector problems after 5 years e85, and the fuel system on my 68 mustang like 10 years old. But my 1.5 year old vmp return style fuel system somehow causes debris to clog my #7 injector. .Bullshit man and now i have to rebuild motor. Whatever you do never use stainless steel 10 micron post filter cause they arent actually 10 micron but more like 30 plus micron. Only use Microglass 10-12 Micron post pump as Injector Dynamics recommends and you wont end up like me with stuck open injector causing motor to fail and Hydrolock. I still think it could of been fic injector just went bad aftet 18k miles too..But fic will never admit their injectors went bad cause it can ruin their business.

What actually causes the crud in the injectors and filters? Is that some type of fuel line corrosion from the e85? I wonder if lucas ethanol treatment would have helped prevent this. Ive also read in the ford manual that if you have a flex fuel vehicle you should run a tank of 93 atleast once per oil change to maybe help clean stuff out.

[@lexustech48]

Good to know about the filter media. I kept getting told that stainless was the way to go, now Im definitely going microglass.

[@BlownSkillet]

I'm a little freaked out now! I also have the Fore Innovations billet filter housing with a stainless element in it. I plan on upgrading my injectors soon, from ID 1000's to the ID 1300's, and adding a third pump. I'll most likely go ahead and replace that stainless filter element while I'm in there. CHEAP INSURANCE!

[@tomcronininc]

Thank you! So useful Ken.

[@tonyb022377]

Is this more of an E85 problem or good 93 pump gas has the same issues?

[@PalmBeachDyno]

Any fuel system needs to be checked but much less of an issue on 93

[@maximusvonce1381]

2011 Mustang gt s197 is baddest looking stang since 69. Glad you got one. I got one too, but only makes 600wheel, not 1300wheel. How the heck you keep control with 1300wheel on street.

[@zzss11]

How often would you recommend checking/cleaning the injectors for an N/A and boosted coyote? Also, I have Rodheavers fuel system which has twin gt350 pumps so there's no external filter in the lines just the ones that come with the pump assembly. Would you recommend pulling out the pumps to check the filters?

[@lx347cid]

wow that's crazy with that in the injectors. good video!!

[@centexsc5064]

Love these videos Ken. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the drag week vlogs.

[@johnf517]

Solid vid for sure...

[@maximusvonce1381]

Hey bro, try Star Tron diesel fuel treatment. Stuff is hands down best on market. I bet your filter and injectors would be spotless if you had been using it with e85, even if it did sit.

[@JacobRDoty]

Enjoy all videos out of PBD where I can learn tons

[@maximusvonce1381]

Man don't ever let e85 sit without fuel treatment added, even then i wouldn't let it sit over 1 week .

[@00mrvip00]

What treatment do you use?

[@maximusvonce1381]

@@00mrvip00 Techron Marine

[@maximusvonce1381]

This would never happen on pump gas 93. This is what scares me about e85. E85 cant sit more than 1 week, or you may have problems. E85 is a lot more extra maintenance. If you drive the car at least once a week to operating temp, and use fuel treatment, e85 should not be an issue. But i hear e85 horror stories all the time. I want to do e85, but these videos scare me.

[@superslacker6152]

Damn... now I'm paranoid about my car, lol

[@maximusvonce1381]

Ken i hope you dont recommend steel 10 micron post pump fuel filters cause Injector Dynamics said they are garbage and in their testing didn't even stop 30 micron particles.

[@SavageBodybuilding]

Is that build up from the car just sitting around?

[@PalmBeachDyno]

E85 can go bad from just sitting so yes, this is a common issue on E85 cars that aren't run often.

[@AC-kp8sp]

Can you make at least a video per week? I know u guys got cool shit going on daily
