Devilsown Methanol Alcohol Water Injection - View Single Post

I bought the devils own kit last year, and its been working great ever since. I recently installed a second nozzle with a check valve in the intake pipe.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the two nozzles or second check valve, but I started getting a lot of knock recently and I quickly realized that I was barely getting any meth into the intake.

So I proceeded to pull apart the system and see how well it was spraying with the dual nozzles. I noticed the pump pulsating, and meth was spraying very low and inconsistently from only one nozzle as if there was not enough pressure , and the other nozzle, nothing at all.
Seems as if the pump is not making enough pressure to even crack open the second check valve.

I proceeded to hook up just one nozzle with the one check valve that wasn't flowing. It did not even spray at all with the pump on. I pulled apart the check valve thinking it may be clogged or faulty, but its design is very simple and with enough pressure it should open. I have pretty much ruled that the pump is faulty and not building enough pressure, as even with the one nozzle and check valve that was working, it was still not spraying with pressure, and kind of dripping.

I know I should only run one check valve before the Y union, but from the tests that I did I have concluded that the pump is faulty.

Is there any warranty on these pumps, as I am not quite happy that it only lasted me about 1 year ?
