    I occasionally drove an 80 something Brigadier General in the city peddling freight for CF. They rented 2 of them at the terminal I worked at. It was straight pipes and one of the loudest trucks I have driven. It was a workhorse!

    There is a few. They remove all air from the fuel system. It can self prime the system when changing filters. If you are like me and have a davco it will run through a 20 micron water catcher and then a 2 micron filter instead of just one filter. It is probably overkill but I really like it for prolonging the injectors. I felt like it was pretty important on my N14 cause those injectors just don't last.
