No prob.
Like I had said, Snow Performance never recommends that 100% methanol be used. If we cover pump failures due to using 100% methanol, it implies that we recommend or suggest 100% methanol be use, which again, we do not.
Keep in mind that the inspection must show specifically that a failure was due to using an unapproved fluid. Keep in mind it isn't always easy to determine exactly what fluid is used. Also, since we introduced our new pump the level of failures has gone way down so the likelihood of failure is very low.
You guys picking up what I'm throwing down?

...I already had your kit for over 4 months and your safe injection for over 2 months now that I bought from Ultimate CC. I wonder if I should have waited if you guys now made an improved version. So basically my kit isn't covered under any manufacture warranty now then.... Right?

With that being said, I wonder if I bought my kit too soon ...

The old "150 psi" pump had Viton seals and had a maximum pressure of 150 psi. The new "150+ psi" pump has EPDM seals which are more resilient and methanol resistant . It comes factory set at 150 psi of outlet pressure but is adjustable beyond that.
Keep in mind that outlet pressure is determined by nozzle size. The "150 psi" name is an item description.

the shurflos pump more than 1 single nozzle will flow...smaller nozzle = pulse more, big nozzle = pulse less...

afaik, shurflo never intended for their pumps to operate over 150psig...why would you want to mess around with the on-demand switch and risk leaking...especially with methanols extremely low viscosity/surface tension?

Any pulsing can easily be adjusted out of the system. Adjusting the cut off switch doesn't create any leaks.
In the interests of keeping this on-topic, please PM myself or Dan@Ultimate for any further tech questions.

SnowTech, I spoke with Dan yesterday and he helped me out and informed me that I do have the right safe injection, so that's great news! I also have the waste gate solenoid, and the level indicator, but now I'm missing the Digital Injection Gauge, any word when this will be available and for how much. I really would like to have a visual how well the flow is in my system and have the completed full kit. Thanks
And SnowTech, it's nice to have a voice from "Snow" on these forums!!! You're answering a lot of the technical questions with the RIGHT answers
Don't worry Dan, you're still the man and thanks for all your help
