me too!

If I can fix it today afterwork and if it doesn't leak tommorow when I drive the car to work.

Then I can go to MOD and join the Dyno Run.

I will research the best sealant to use for 100% Meth today at work.

Hopefully I can get it resolved tonight.

If I cannot fix it myself, then I have no choice but to return it to AEM for servicing.

Wish Me Luck.

Try out the GOOP Archie

^^ Thanks Man

I will get one today at OSH.

I researched it and the best for meth is the Silver or Gray Goop E600

Hope it selas it up preety good.

Awesome!! Hope this works out for you.

Bad News guys...

My car cannot make it for the Dyno Run this weekend.

My AEM Water/Methanol pump is leaking, and it will take about 3 business days for the AEM tech guys to inspect and repair the unit.

If only I can repair the unit my self.

I will try and disasmeble the pump today, maybe I can put it special seals round the top of the pump where its leaking.

Do you guys know if there are any speical quick seals that you can buy at auto parts store for methanol?

Thanks.

From the pics of the system that were previously posted in the other thread, the pump is made by a company named Shurflo. It's most likely a standard, off the shelf, Shurflo agricultural or automotive diaphram pump with an AEM sticker on it. Shurflo makes several rebuild kits for these pumps that can be ordered over the internet, with seal materials available for many different chemicals.
Do a search on google for Shurflo. Or:
http://www.shurflo.com/pages/new_ind...rial_home.html

Cost on these pumps are normally about $100 over the internet, and rebuild kits are normally easy to come by as well.

So did you guys ever make it to this dyno day.

Any ideas on why it's leaking already?

It is leaking on one of the pump output meth line. The 100% Meth ate away the thread seal, and it was loose for some reason.

I bought some Gray RTV for Water pumps, good as new. No more leaks.

Ya that is what i was saying on your other thread that the 100% meth was eatting the seals away. This is an other reason why i am going to run 50/50. But your car must feel like a beast now hu. And plans on takin it to the drag strip or not yet.
