I am aware that I should install the jet after the maf and AIT on my mustang and since the hemi is speed density(stone age like come on dodge) it really doesn't matter where I put it however to atomize the mmo better I should go as far upstream as possible.
What about DI engines? Wouldn't one of these help deposits?
Thanks in advance
PM me and I'll tell you how to set it up. I've used one for about 30 years, come to think of it maybe even longer.
Can other fluids be put in there like a PEA fuel system cleaner? Or water?
It's my understanding that it can dispense any fluid.
Dermapaint. Since you have extensive experience with the system could you breakdown the system for us,pics would be going above and beyond if possible.
Thank you
Pictures are difficult at the moment, my wife is visiting her sister down south and has the camera. Where I have the oiler installed is not conducive to taking pictures of it either.
The system is fairly simple, it works when engine vacuum drops, this happens when the engine is under load. So high speed idling, or racing the engine while in park or neutral doesn't speed up the flow of the MMO. It simply mounts to where there is space under the hood, and a vacuum line is [Tee] fitted into the PCV vacuum hose. There is a knob on the top of the unit which you'd use to calibrate the oiler, via a small sight glass. Once installed you go for a drive warm up the engine and look at the site glass while idling, and count drips off MMO through this site glass. You'll see the oil drip through this little brass funnel [for lack of a better term] as it goes into the vacuum line. ~ 12-15 drops per minute is in the ballpark of where you'd want to be to use about 1 qt of MMO per 1,000 miles. These numbers are approximate for my user pattern of a 4.9L Ford I6. You can increase or decrease the amount of MMO via this knob. Keep in mind MMO doesn't pass through the fuel injectors in a FI engine.
They state not to use anything but MMO in it, although I see no reason with a product having similar viscosity, or thinner than MMO not working, but they advise against it.
They offered then in three sizes, a clear glass 1 qt unit, a nice metal 2 qt unit, or a 4 qt unit. I have the 2 qt version of the MMO Inverse Oiler. I disconnected it after more than 20 years of use in my 88 E-150, and noticed the tail pipe change from a greyish black, to more of a black color. When I reconnected it, the grayish color of the tail pipe came back again. I had it off for about 6 months, after about 1 month the color changed back to that greyish color I mentioned.
I think one of these oilers might help with DI, although I have no experience with DI, and have been avoiding it for now.
Here's a picture I found on the www. of the 1 qt glass unit. The top is the same as mine which is the metal 2 qt unit, the gallon unit uses the same top as well. You can see the adjustment knob at the top, and the site glass as well. The hardest part of the installation is finding a place for the unit. HTH
