What did you do to your pig today?

[jestlurnin]

Noise….Ive got my 45 up and running again and it’s shocking how much quieter the little cab on my 45 is than the big ol’ steel barrel that the 55 is.

Well done on the sounds deadening @Pighead

I lost my original headliner 30 years or so ago when I rolled the Pig. Couple days ago I put some Dynamat up there. Did a poor job, had lots of wrinkles and stuff. Those big sticky sheets are hard to work with. Today I covered up the wrinkles with more insulation. Amazon Basic, smaller sheets, cheaper and a pretty blue color.

The roof of your Pig smells of elderberries!!!

Isn’t auto correct fun?

 

[Pighead]

Right thread. New radiator, water pump & stuff...

 

[scrapdaddy]

Shoot, I thought you were sending me a new radiator. You going with a shroud?

 

[Pighead]

You going with a shroud?

Not sure. I haven't had a shroud for 30 years or so, haven't needed one, it just got a little warm (230s F) last Rubithon I ran. old radiator was getting old, Got some little electric fans to put on this radiator too.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, I should make, just to keep my fingers together.

I put the engine in my trash trailer and pushed it off to the side.

Did my weekly drive into Red Rock National Conservation Area it was great as always until the inline fuel pump for my Sniper EFI died. I keep a spare pump and filters in the truck and of course a basic tool roll but realized some of my specialty tools like fuel line “pinch” clamps and specific nut drivers to make it easier to get the hose clamps off are in my garage tool chest. I decided to let it cool for 45 minutes then limped home. Changed out everything this morning and it is running great again. Check out all the tools I had to use to get this done. Need to think about that for what I should carry with me. My first Walbro fuel pump lasted 2 years and this one also only lasted 2 years. Lots of people on the intrawebs complain about inline fuel pumps going bad.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Packing all the right tools is hard and seems the one you'll need you left at home. Fuel pump selection is a good campfire debate.

 

[kbahus]

I don’t think the current Walbro offerings are nearly as good as they used to be, could be a counterfeit issue. Walbro was the gold standard for years, but I don’t hear much good anymore. I ended up putting a DW320 in my Tundra when it was time and am quite pleased with it. Maybe one of these would be worth a try: In-Line Fuel Pumps for Sale | External Fuel Pumps | DeatschWerks - https://deatschwerks.com/collections/in-line-pumps

I also would cut the wrapping out to only where the clamps are, that pump needs to stay cool.

 

[scrapdaddy]

that pump needs to stay cool.

In tank pump and forget about it.

 

[kbahus]

Ultimately yes, that is the answer. I can see the challenges though. Next thing you know you have a custom fuel cell.

 

[RUSH55]

2 years is pretty weak. I hope the Bosch 044 I’m running in-tank lasts a lot longer than that.

In tank should last longer than on the frame.

 

[RUSH55]

BTW, the Bosch 044 is no longer available (must have picked up one of the last ones).
The replacement is the Bosch FP200-7

Bosch FP200-7 High Output Fuel Pump - 245 LPH @ 72 psi | Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies

The genuine Bosch FP200-7 electric fuel injection pump delivers 65 GPH at 72 psi. It is a more-powerful replacement for the popular and race-proven 044 pump.

until the inline fuel pump for my Sniper EFI died

In an off road vehicle that’s used off grid like some of us do here I would run two pumps on the frame or in the tank with a couple Y’s and either manually plug between the two or have a switch on the dash like I had on the angry pig, a single ON/OFF/ON switch is what I used. When one crapps the bed just switch to the other and keep going and deal with the dead one when you get home. Same cost as carrying a spare and way less laying on your back on the road or trail.

Also anything that has a filter or pump mounted down off the frame I install an inline fuel proof ball valve back at the tank..
