lee91g Member 21 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Posted 11/07/12 10:54 AM Share Posted 11/07/12 10:54 AM Hey guys, was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the standard fuel line from the 044 is -6an or -8an as I'm going to buy a 1 way check valve cause I've always had problems with long starts which I'm assuming because it's siphoning back which this should stop.Also is $45 reasonable for a Aeroflow one way or do u guys have any other recommendations?

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 7m 27d Posted 11/07/12 11:00 AM Share Posted 11/07/12 11:00 AM -6 is what a standard screw in check valve is off an 044 pump, I have two on my surge tank (for twin pumps) and they are -6. Check out MSCN in Seven hills they have them but they are more than $45 each http://www.mscn.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=471 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80938-process-west-standard-fuel-line-size/#findComment-1265989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee91g Member 21 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Posted 11/07/12 11:06 AM Author Share Posted 11/07/12 11:06 AM Kk sweet, from what I've read on other forums people have found it has helped quite a bit when starting as it keeps the pressure after shut down but then people also argue that it should prime quick enough when u go to start... I don't really know but figured it was worth a tryThanks for that unclewal but I live in dee why so I may aswell just eBay itIll let u guys know if it changes anything Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80938-process-west-standard-fuel-line-size/#findComment-1265996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought 2 -6 check valves for my 2 044's the other week but have changed to a single aeromotive a1000 pump, more money wasted lol.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80938-process-west-standard-fuel-line-size/#findComment-1266023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee91g Member 21 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Posted 19/07/12 03:26 AM Author Share Posted 19/07/12 03:26 AM So I put the one way check valve in on Sunday and I haven't had one problem with starts since so I think it fixed the problem. If I have any problems with long starts again and this was all just coincidence ill post up 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80938-process-west-standard-fuel-line-size/#findComment-1268689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
