Dissent is offering their skids again and it’s got me thinking…
It’s not uncommon for our 100’s to have fuel issues related to heat. I don’t (yet) and I’d like to keep it that way.
I’ve been holding off getting a set of skids for a while as I’m concerned their presence could be a factor in what some owners here are experiencing when it comes to fuel boiling, pressurized tanks, etc. I’m also concerned that they could hasten catalytic converter demise as that area that was once open to fresh air is now covered. From what I’ve seen Toyota covered that area in 100’s with I-6 engines in the rest of the world, but in the 2uz V8 powered units it was left intentionally open (corrections welcome). IMO that had to be for a reason.
What says the group? Has anyone done underbelly temperature testing before/after skids? Has anyone started experiencing problems once skids were installed? As far as I’ve seen @J1000 is the only one who has added an inline fuel cooler, did this seem to help?
