Default BD Diesel Performance lift pump protection??

Diesel Power had an article in the July 07 issue about "Injection Protection" pg. 184, which is a kit to help out the lift pump. The kit is $250-$270. That seems like a relatively inexpensive, preventive measure. Has anyone used this or heard anything about it? www.dieselperformance.com

The kit is a good kit. The thing to consider is that ANYTHING is better than the in the tank "fix". If you read the mag. there was a fella who wrote in from Canada that asked them about it and they offered up the in-tank fix - at the same time of showing BD's kit. They need to give their collective heads a shaking.

Go BD, Glacier, FASS, Air Dog, Racor, Parker, Carter and the list goes on and you'll be fine.

But for a few bucks more, you can have a complete Walbro kit - which is far superior in IMO....

Kidding about what? Being superior or the price?

Both. BD knows their sh*t when it comes to diesel power. FASS makes one of the best (and they are a sight sponsor) both diesel rated pumps. Don't really want to open this can of worms so I don't really care...

I dont know what you are getting at here...but...

Lets recap what Ive said here - the Walbro kit is the same price as the BD Diesel kit and has better results. From what Ive seen, the BD Diesel kit is nothing more than a stock Carter 4601 moved to the framerail and some replacement fuel line:

The Walbro kit is a big improvement (at least in my mind) and several people have reported excellent results with it. I am not disagreeing with anyone here - simply stating that the Walbro kit is the same price and offers better performance.

Yes, DPP/FASS is a sponsor here and I have not said one single good or bad thing about their products. Yes, they have top notch products, but they arent the cheapest alternative.....lets face it, they are not a reasonable amount of money for some people.

sorry not trying to **** in your flakes this morning. don't take it the wrong way.

all differences aside, I think that the FASS with the filters is the way to go - even if it is the most $$ and happens to be on my shelf.
