6.5's ran on a few thousand psi on the injectors. duramax's run between 23K and 26K depending on series of motor. the old 6.5's didn't need it as the pressure wasn't high enough to cause problems. the 6.6 injectors run at high enough pressure they may as well be taking a bath in a sand blaster. you want the cleanest, purest fuel you can give them

that removes whats there while sitting still. once you move the truck, fuel sloshes around the tank and begins to bubble. ever shaken a soda bottle? that air is fed through the pickup tube straight to the injectors.

this should help explain it better

a cavitation test would not be hard to set up.

^ exactly. If you don't think air ever reaches these injector your crazy. I believe if trucks had air separator from the factory, the injectors would last. In a common rail truck with a HP pump & HP injectors air can be one of your worst enemies. It is definitely not a way to just make more money.

A test that air rates the fuel is easy. Running is through an injector to see how much it wears is going to give you biased results because you have no idea how much air is in the fuel or at what psi to run it through the injector. We can all agree its bad but to say its going to substantially effect injector is yet to be proven nor can it accurately be tested. In other words I AGREE but to a different extent. Look at all the dodges running Holley blue/black/red label pumps still running with a lot of miles. Once again I do agree air is bad but when bone stock duramax's getting 200,300,400k miles on factory injectors its hard to peel off 3 more bills for an airdog,FASS,etc...This is a cheap alternative,no more no less.

We all have our own opinions. The price of one injector is enough for me to go with the better pump. To me it's well worth the extra bills for a bit better setup. I am done on this subject. I hate pissing matches!
