Joe, where did you find the changeable internal orfices for the injector? I have a general pump with the green kynar barb and it is a .098 or 2.3mm orfice, its removable with allen key like yours. I want to get the check valve and smaller orfice to switch out and get a bit hotter mix when I need it to not have to drag out the 12v soft wash. Not a fan of 2 hoses if I dont have to. I found a 1.8 or .070 on kleenrite and am ordering a few but not sure if it will fit the threads yet. did you get an orfice kit somewhere? thanks in advance, wash on. Love the new F450 rig too brother! I run a 2000 F250 7.3 powerstroke quad cab 8ft bed, much like your old rig just a diesel motor. Love it!
