Round 2: Keepin' up with the Joneses, Mud Devils and Tony Woody

Just run a hose from the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle into the gas tank. Weld it. CO/ Co2 will neutral the fumes. No ka-blooey. Supposedly according to my professor at utubeUniverstiy.
 
Fox Body Restoration rebuilt my PCM and gave it the thumbs up. I've been running it on my spare so I'll install this one and wait for the next trip šŸ¤˜

Wonder if periodic injector cleanings would be a good idea.

Probably. My thinking is based on variables from where you get gas and the inevitable times that it sits. Although, if you consistently park it in your own way and HAVE to move it to access something else, that helps with getting some run time and keeping things cleaned out/functional :D

I'm sure the fuel tank/cell has a vent and I'd bet it's setup just as it should be, but I do wonder if somehow it still gets dust or debris in there. I'm sure it gets run through some nasty stuff!

Do you have a spare set of identical injectors you can swap out (while sending one set to be cleaned) and keep on hand? Other than that, I'd say always leave it full of gas when you park it and maybe run some fuel system cleaner through it occasionally. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Perhaps there's a way to filter the gas before it goes in the truck?

I do have a spare set of 30# from my drag racing days. But they're way too big for an N/A application like I run. I'm pretty sure my old filter was a main issue being 40 micron. Definitely gonna be more on top of getting fuel at better stations and bringing some with me when I can.
 
You're likely on to something there. If you can keep the crud from getting to them to begin with, they'll stay clean. Not saying I couldn't have benefited from it, but I don't recall ever *needing* to have a set of injectors cleaned.

I think I'm currently dealing with something similar on my RZR. We shall see!

All I'm reading here is boost is the cure

I get the injectors cleaned about every 5 years or so.
I think it's cheap insurance / maintenance as fuel tanks aren't 100% sealed and dust will go everywhere.
Also, hoses break down over time and can deteriorate and send some shit downstream.

True. I do swap my hoses every couple of years to be safe. If you buy it in bulk and use the same size on everything, it's not too costly at all.

So what, like every 3 rides? :flipoff2::stirthepot::popcorn:

Agreed and I do the same as well.
It's not really about the cost, but mostly about the aggravation of having to deal with intermittent fuel delivery issues on the trail.
 
The more you let it sit with ethanol gas the more the need to clean injectors.

If you are going do it a lot I have seen some YouTubers use some that are only like 250ish dollars to buy a setup
