Flight Sytems had a bad run of PMD's that caused runaway engines and strange smoke problems about 18 months ago or so.

They are aware of the problem and know the serial #'s affected and will warranty them if they fall within that batch.

Contact Dipaco to see if yours is one of them,they will not release the serial #'s affected to the public and barley admitted the problem.

Any PMD not marked stanadyne is a flight systems PMD no matter how it is badged-Dipaco dtech,dorman ect.

Many years ago there was another brand of PMD produced called Sol-D but are no longer on the market.

Thanks. I did send a email to Flight Systems today with all info regarding my old PMD. Darn thing still looks brand new. I hope they can provide a response and answer as to the problems with their product during that time. These things are too expensive just to keep replacing them.

I was on the phone with customer service at Dipaco today about other things and thought to ask them about the pmd failure-runaway. They definitely know about it and know the serial numbers of the ones that could fail. They told me that if you had one that failed to call them and if it is in their determined bad lot they will warranty it. The phone number for customer service at dipaco is:775-329-7511 The guy I talked to is Kieth . his extension is 116
The problem is supposed to be fixed in any new pmd/fsd from them.

Racer55. Thank you for thefollow up info. Called Flight systems who other than stanadyne are the only true manufactures of the pmd's. Well here is there e-mail. We are sorry to hear about your troubles with our PMD. We do understand your frustration. We warranty our PMD’s for 1 year unlimited miles. As we are the manufacturer of this product, all warranties are handled through our distribution network. We do not recommend the use of an extension kit, nor do we sell one. We designed the PMD to be mounted to the pump for optimum performance. Therefore, we do not warranty our PMD’s unless it is mounted on the pump. If you have any future problems with any of our products, please work through your point of sales or distributor to file a warranty claim. FUNNY AIN'T IT. I mean there only 250 bucks.

Sounds like SS Diesel who won't warranty a PMD unless it is mounted on their intake mounted heatsink-the intake is the worst possible location.

I tell people to temp mount on the intake long enough to take a picture and then relocate outside the engine bay.
