100 GPH and a Lifetime Warranty! Powerful reasons to add an AirDog to your Powerstroke!
The new compact AirDog™ provides the most effective technology designed specifically for diesel pickups to remove water, particulates, vapor and entrained air from diesel fuel. The AirDog™ enhances the stock fuel delivery system of the Powerstroke with a commercial duty system.
Your High Performance diesel engine demands higher fuel flows. Yet, higher fuel flows increase the vacuum at the fuel pump and agitation in the fuel tank. These factors generate additional air/vapor in the fuel system preventing your engine from producing maximum power and efficiency. Additionally, air/vapor can cause galling and pitting of the injector barrel/plunger assembly and also tip erosion. The AirDog® eliminates the air in the fuel that robs your engine of consistently greater performance and can also cause permanent damage to your injectors.
The AirDog® also provides the fuel pressures and flows your diesel engine needs to produce maximum power, any time, every time! For serious performance seekers, whether you run a Cummins Turbo Diesel, Duramax, or Powerstroke on the daily grind or for weekend pleasure, the AirDog® has something to offer you!
The physics behind AirDog technology:
Diesel fuel contains varying degrees of entrained air in the form of foam on the surface or suspended in the bulk fluid as tiny bubbles. Additionally, fuel is driven into the fuel pump by atmospheric pressure, which is usually only enough pressure flow to fill the pump at idle speeds. Consequently, at higher operating RPM’s, the stock pump cavitates producing vapor.
Air and vapor are compressible. The presence of air/vapor in the fuel injector delays the pressure build-up. This delays the injection, resulting in Retarded Injection Timing. Retarded injection timing in a diesel, just like bad spark plugs in a gasoline engine, causes lost power, poor fuel mileage, and an increase in exhaust emissions.
Retarded Injection Timing caused by air/vapor is the primary source of the rough idle, lost power, increased fuel consumption and excessive exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. Air/vapor in the injector can also cause permanent damage in the form of galling and pitting of the barrel/plunger assembly and tip erosion. The conventional vacuum feed fuel supply system does nothing to remove entrained air from the fuel. In fact, it only makes things worse. As the filter plugs with use, the already inadequate fuel flow to the engine is further reduced, increasing cavitation and retarding injection timing even more.
The AirDog® overcomes the inadequacies of the conventional vacuum feed system. Removing the entrained air and preventing vapor from cavitation restores injection timing and engine performance to ensure maximum power output and peak efficiency at all times!
AirDog® is approved for sale and use in California by CARB and is covered by a manufacturers LIFETIME WARRANTY!
**Note** AirDog 100 series pumps connect to the stock fuel tank sending unit and DO NOT require the tank to be dropped. AirDog 150 series pumps DO require the fuel tank to be dropped for the installation of a stand alone pickup tube.
**Note** The AirDog does NOT replace the factory (or aftermarket) high pressure electric fuel pump on Ford applications. The AirDog outputs 10psi in Ford applications therefore a high pressure pump to step the fuel pressure up to the required 60-70psi is still required!
**Note** Standard AirDog units flow 100gph. There is a 150gph AirDog available for those running extremely large aftermarket fuel pumps with flow rates in excess of 85gph. We don't recommend the AirDog 150 unless you're sure you need it. Many of the commonly used aftermarket pumps (like the Aeromotive A1000 and SX for example) will work just fine with the 100gph AirDog. We recommend taking a close look at the flow curve for the pump you will be using, if the flow is below 85gph at the pressure you will be running, the 100gph unit will work just fine.
