Instead of buying an entire new injector I want to just replace the orifices. They get blown out over time which alters the final mix ratio, and they’re easy to replace. I know that they can be had but sourcing them is somewhat difficult. Flowpro has a kit that clips onto their bypass but I don’t want one of each, I want a sack of 1.8 & 2.1’s. I suspect Dultmeier has them but their website is so difficult to search/navigate.
Anyone know where I can order some at a reasonable price?
A lot of people keep an air can and blow the injector out, cause the ball will stick sometimes. Just keep a few injectors on the truck, they are known to go bad often. I keep 3 on the rig and I am just a part timer. Make sure to always rinse your line out with water to extend the life of the injector and other parts.
On a side note, there is a tinkering fella on this forum who claims to have the greatest injector of all times @dperez
Thanks for responding, I don’t post much but I’m all caught up on everything you’ve mentioned, (from general maintenance, metering tips, rebuild kits, to dperez’s injector).
I have rebuild kits but they do not address the orifice which also gets worn.
The metal injectors have a metal orifice that can be easily removed with an Allen key. It’s not necessarily about saving money, it’s more convenient to swap out a worn orifice than remove/reattach fittings on injectors, or have fittings pre-installed on multiple injectors (which I have as well).
This is a “consumable” and a replaceable part that degrades. It seems it should be available for purchase, but finding it has proved tricky so far..
I saw these on your site but wasn’t sure how the size converted or if they were compatible with the GP hi-draws. I’d get a few of whichever is equal to 1.8, 2.1, 2.3.
What’s the conversion or replacement for each?
1.8 = 0.070?
2.1 = 0.083?
2.3 = 0.090?
also while I’ve got you here.. it looks like the bleach filter you’ve got is graduated to fit a few id’s. 1/4-3/4”?
Yes, the will work perfectly. The filter is 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2”. Your conversions are bang on. I have .093” also its just not listed. I work with imperial because ‘Merica
Looks like there isn’t an option for all sizes on their own (only available in kits). Can I place an order and get 3 of each size individually? I can just select 9 from the dropdown quantity.
Kleen-Rite carries them in a variety of sizes. They retail for about $7, but are almost always on sale for around $3 each. If I remember, I usually add a couple to my cart when ordering something else, since their shipping isn’t always the most economical.
OK. I didn’t know your history/experience. The only other slight change I might make for you is to make your injector a quick connect if you continue to use the GP high draw.
One of the first pieces of advice I got on this forum was to make all your backups ready to use on your trailer. This way when something goes wrong it is a quicker fix. When I get home I can take off the QCs on the old one and put them on a backup if they are still good.
Nice, found them and bookmarked for future use. Slightly less than @dperez however he held my hand and deserves the biz imo.
Thanks team, I’m a regular visitor to the site and will try to chime in more often. Building out a trailer right now, those threads are usually fun to peruse..
So I’ve got PW gadgets downstream injector. I have had the same one for coming up on 3 seasons. Love it. Have some spares in the repair bin collecting dust.
