Yea I dunno maybe my check valve is jacked.

The flow gauge is pretty nice, it's a nice feeling knowing there is actual fluid going into the nozzle, lol

I decided my AEM supplied check valve was causing more harm then good. I think it help speed up the reaction time of the injection to not run it. The pump and tank are below the nozzle anyway so Its not needed.

What does the check valve do? Hold the fluid back from draining back into the container to keep the line primed and full?

That would only be IF the tank were above the nozzle?

I don't really have any issues w/that as far as I'm aware, although I should look into the flow sensor, just to see make sure it is flowing, however I don't really want to deal w/another guage, would be nice if I could integrate that into my serial 18-1 setup.
You can have it read through the aem serial gauge. Jeff set mine up yesterday after my tune with him.

True, that’s why I removed mine. It seemed unnecessary and was helping to delay the reaction time of the injection when the pressure called for it.

i thought the check valve kept pressure from going thru the line and into the pump, IE backwards. with no check valve. if you where to not use the meth spray, then the intake being pressurized will shove air thru that line, past where the check valve woulda stopped it and allow it to pressureize the holding tank and pump.

id leave it on if i was you or get a better valve from devils own.

Hmm not sure about that. There is no pressure per say but the pressure that is being produced from the pump, which is one way. Anyway I've been running it without for a long time, never an issue with this.

The Check valve is to prevent the fluid being sucked out of the lines and into the intake..............At least I am 90% sure. Good chance I am wrong Either way it was causing an issue so I yanked it
