How much inlet psi?
 
How much pressure is too much for the inlet of the 5.9 cp3?

I currently have 70 psi, just wondering if that's too high. I've heard of guys running 45 psi with no problems.

Damn Matt.......thats high dude

Yeah, but is it bad high? I think I can drop to 40-45 fairly easy with different pumps. I would just go with a FASS or air dog but I have the dual tanks and I don't know how I would make it work with the selector valve.

equalizer line or tie the overflows together

Whit 11-27-2009 05:27 PM

they have overflows Matt........top of the tank on the tank module its the line pokin out with nuttin on it...................inside there is a ball that checks when the vehicle is upside down

Not this truck, it had a gasser with full emissions, I had to get vented gas caps after discovering as the engine ran the tank would go into a vacuum. The selector valve handles the supply and return lines getting to the right tank, I'm just not sure if I can suck through one instead of push through like the in tank pumps do. I know there are stock pumps for different engines that only put out 45 psi which I've heard of guys running air dogs at that pressure, so why go through the trouble ya know? Unless I hear a good argument that 70 psi is bad I'm going to leave it as is, at least I know I'm not starving for fuel:w2:

Well, according to wicked diesel's website cp3 FAQ, they can handle up to 100 psi, need a minimum of 15 psi and notice an improvement in flow above 45 psi. Looks like they are saying the more, the better so I'm going to leave it alone at 70 psi.
