how many miles do you guys have before having the issue? Just wondering if and when I would have the issue. I think I have around 3K miles (6-7 months) since I had mine installed.

I noticed about 2 weeks ago that my jeep was taking a while to start up. It would turn over for about 5 seconds before firing up. I have about 6k miles on it since the new fuel hat.

Yea I got about 4k miles with the new hat

Thanks for the info Chris, I have a fuel pressure gauge so I'll have to keep an eye on it if I start having the issues discribed.

I don't prime the pumps, should I be doing this with the stage 6 setup?

I wonder if mine is next to go. I need to get with Harry and see what to do before this happens.

Yeah the first thing you will notice is that the jeep will take longer to fire up. Watch your fuel pressure gauge and turn the key to the accessory position and watch where the fuel pressure goes? It should be at 60psi. Mine was about 15psi and I had to turn the key off and back on to prime the fuel pressure so it would start.

Just have Dwight replace the hose next time you are up here because yours will probably fail and it would suck to be stranded while out driving.

Good thing you have a gauge inside the Jeep Chris......

Mine has been in since Oct 2011. When did you guys get yours? I hope it was just a bad batch.
