Let me pick your brains again. I did my installation yesterday and today. Everything was uneventful. When I turned the key finally, the diesel side was great but I have a definate power loss on the veg side. I used a new cube of oil from Sam's to get it set up on, by the way. As some of you said, there would need to be a separate pump on the veggie side to help it along. I wired in a Facet pump on the veg side at the tank and it did absoloutely nothing to help. It did prime and got real quiet and I have a little flow if I disconnect a hose up front but not much. I shortened the dip tube in the veg tank thinking it was sucking the bottom but it did not help either. Just to try and see, I put 5 gallons of diesel in the veg tank and drove it again and it did pick up on power and is drivable on the veg half. Not perfect but drivable. My facet pump, by the way, is the model 60106 I think and is a 4-7 psi model. I am using 3/8 tubing the whole way too. Can a Facet pump push cold oil or do I need a larger pump? Everything has been pentachecked and is hooked up proper. Every connection is leak free and tight. I personally think it is my facet pump but I need some more input. Thanks! Eric.
