Few small updates.
Got my new fuel pump. Should have it installed tomorrow. That should fix my fuel pressure issue.
I have a issue with fuel smell. I knew I would have a small smell from eliminating all the Evap system. Which I am not sure I would do it again. But when I park my truck in my semi shop 35x80, after about an hour it smells so strong of fumes that one might think it would explode if you lite a cigarette, so you can imagine how it is in my home garage.
Now I have two vents for the tank. One is the stock 1/8th inch (guess) vent line that runs up to the filler neck. Then since I switched to the 05up tank I used the 5/8 port of the rollover valve as another tank vent. I had read about people having issues filling their tanks up because of pressure build up. So I ran the 5/8 line up near the fill neck and added in the line. Truck fills up as stock and I have never had a problem filling up.
Any ideas on the fuel smell? Should I pull the 5/8 line out of the filler neck and try a filter on the end of it? Zip tie it up to the filler neck like that? My wife doesn't even want me parking it in the garage at home right now. She says she can smell it in the house. Smells good to me! Haha
I also got a new meth system coming. Julio from Alky control set me up with a new dual nozzle setup. 10gal and a 15gal/hr nozzles. Should do a lot better than the 375nozzle on the snow setup. With straight meth and my 90 octane crap fuel I should be able to turn it up!

Well, I got the pickup out yesterday for the first time for the year. Most of the snow is gone and I can drive it on dry pavement. Looks like the fuel pump issue has been fixed, I think. I need to swap pumps to the other pump as the primary and see if the afr's stay the same. I really need to invest in a fuel pressure gauge.
I have a aeroforce pressure sensor that I am going to try to use as a stand alone and log it with HPT. I think it will work. I have the 5v regulator for the sensor.
Has anyone tried doing this?

Well I got my old snow meth kit off the truck last night. I got started installing the alkyControl setup.
I may or may not have realized the led that comes with the kit is a two color dual function led that is only 5v. I may have put 12 volts to it. Damn it. Pretty sure I fried it. Oh well. I'm sure those are inexpensive.
Now I just need to figure out where to put both nozzles. Can you put them prett close to each other? But on different sides of the pipe from each other. I might have to update my charge pipes to my throttle body a little if I can't have them pretty close together. Other wise my second nozzle would be too close to the tb.
