OS 120 and smoke system problems - 6/29/2008 10:00:46 PM

Status: offline 		Iv'e tried to install a smoke system with this engine and the injector for the smoke was tapped into a 90 degree knuckle joint directly next to the engine. The diesel is fed to this injector thru tygon tubing but this just melted off the injector within 30 seconds of start up. I then put the exhaust back on the original header that came with it and tapped the injector into the main body of the exhaust but again the tygon just melted off after around 45 seconds.

Is there any other way / type of tubing that will not be affected so badly by the heat. I've toyed with the idea of using a 120mm flexible extension before the main exhaust body but the injector really needs to be in the hottest point of the exhaust and may not produce smoke this far back in the system.

Any help thoughtsd appreciated

Status: offline 		try some black neoprene hose instead of the tygon on your smoke system , it should do fine.
