Holy crap I haven’t been on UA-cam in a while. Been a few years since I watched your videos. Holy crap dude you look like a new person. Grats on the weight loss dude. You are unrecognizable lol.
You mentioned -12 and -8 hose. If anyone is wanting to build a hose at home, your dash size is the ID of the hose in 16th of an inch. I.E. -12 = 12/16 = 3/4" id hose. -8 = 8/16 = 1/2" id hose.
Glad surgery went well and the Jeep continues to progress! Take it from someone familiar with shoulder surgery and recovery, do exactly what the doc says regarding lifting and movement and stay up with your PT!
With those big hole saws go at just a slight angle some teeth are cutting and the other side isn’t and work it around. Helps keep it from getting to hot and burning up the teeth
I've been enjoying the build in these weekly videos... just not sure what to ask because this is way out of my swim lane. I appreciate all the tips and tricks along the way though.
Slow down with the hole saw. The teeth just overheat, get hot, and get dull. That’s most likely why it had some trouble drilling through. Speed is not always your friend when drilling, gotta keep the bit cool.
Very slim, we packed them in pretty tight so there shouldn’t be much movement at all. Lots of teams run in tank pumps and I haven’t heard of it happening. Want to finish the jeep before KOH so we have plenty of time to hit the trails and test everything
I need you to move to northern Cali and become my best friend and help me build my 09 jk lol. You know 5.7l nhemi one tons bead locks rewiring o yea Def the round brake lights. Might as well redo your jeep lmao.
Hey Ben - or anyone else on here that knows the answer: what’s the point of the regulator downstream of the fuel rails? It would make sense to me that a regulator would be more important upstream of the fuel rails. Can someone ‘smarten me up’ on this?
From my understanding If it’s before the injectors, then at higher rpm/higher injector flow they will drop pressure since the regulator is seeing proper psi from the pump. After the rails keeps the fuel rail pressurized no matter rpm or fuel load (injectors always have proper psi).
So if I understand you right, as long as the pump can deliver enough fuel to supply even the highest demand of the injectors, the injectors will ‘self-regulate’ for lack of a more sophisticated way to say it. Follow up question: (and yes I realize I sound like Dwight K Shrute)😂 Why would the return line need regulated, it’s just dumping excess fuel back into the tank, right? Love your channel and I always learn so much watching your content! I really appreciate the reply.
@@528Circle so it’s hard to explain by typing it out, the return line is not what is being regulated. The entire supply is being regulated, it’s just where the regulation happens. We don’t just want to regulate the pump psi, we want to ensure the entire fuel system (fuel rails and injectors) are consistently regulated at the exact same pressure at all loads. Think about the regulator before the rails. For a split second under full throttle, the injectors will start dumping fuel and start dropping pressure in the rails. If it’s after the rails, it almost “keeps” the correct pressure in the rails and injectors at all times.
@@528Circle ahh I see what you are asking, so even if the pump put out let’s say 100psi, with the regulator before or after the injectors (either way), then entire system is still regulated at 60 for example. It’s all one closed system so you can’t have multiple pressures inside one loop, so no matter where the regulator is it will regulate the entire fuel system. The placement is just how the injectors will handle the pressure loss.
@@JKGearandGadgetsaha!! 💡 moment!! I get it now. I’m going to rely on why my parents told me that there is no thing as a stupid question - because right now, this kinda feels like one! Thank you for the easy to understand answer!!
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for a gift card giveaway announcement in the next video! Great odds since none of y’all leave comments lol.
🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿 is the only comment I leave😂😂
That counts 😂

Yep! Planning to go over all that once we start building the lines
Thank you for this. I never knew that.
Looking forward to seeing that roll cage install but always great to learn about fuel systems!! Thanks Ben👍🏻
Liked the hand motions there, Cassie. Lol. Good to see out there. Car's looking good, Ben. Hoping for a speedy recovery on that shoulder, sir.
I am really enjoying your race build! Thanks for posting!

Another great video !! I am digging the videos, glad you have time theses days to provide more content.
This video series is really inspiring me to build a trail/race rig. I love my EcoDiesel, but something like this is another level!
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Getting lots of inspiration for my own jeep.
Lthanks for the help the other day with my tracbar and recommendations love the content been here for years supporting

Sweet! Always enjoy the details
Boss, could I run this fuel tank as an auxiliary fuel tank where I would use a transfer pump into the main tank?
Holley sure make it easy to plumb these systems. What is the risk that the foam baffling sloshes around, taking out the pump?
Very slim, we packed them in pretty tight so there shouldn’t be much movement at all. Lots of teams run in tank pumps and I haven’t heard of it happening. Want to finish the jeep before KOH so we have plenty of time to hit the trails and test everything
Does the foam take much of the fuel capacity?
@@WestCoastRunners not much at all, it think it keeps around 90-95% capacity if I remember correctly
I wish i could make it out to KOH one day.
Cassie - I like your shirt ❤
R U getting the new crock boots?????
As much as I love my crocs, I don’t think I’ll be getting croc boots haha
Holly shit,she actually owns a pair of plants?

I can’t 🤣🤷🏼♂️
