[quote name='Cheers!' date='Aug 17 2005, 11:59 AM']Didn't you know those injector pumps are big dollars? They pressurize Diesel up to something like 2000 psi. You can even get them upgraded for even higher psi.

I already knew how much they were, I was just edumacating the masses. I have been to WOODWARD GOVERNOR school in Ft. Collins Colorado. I was also a Diesel Tech in the Navy

Not to rag on ya after you've had a rough day, but aren't you the guy who's always going on about doing basic maintenance on RX-7's before you start modding them?



So how come you let a basic maintenance item on your truck leave you stuck on the side of the road? Huh? Huh?!

Yes it is, which is why I am dissecting the old filter Friday and dropping the tank.



If its one place I dont take shortcuts its in preventive maintenance, which is why this caught me by surprise. I also only buy my Diesel Fuel from ONE source, and thay verified the tank quality. I buy direct at the Distributors pumps at his Terminal complex (Another reason this shouldnt have happened)
