I just got Bjorn's flame heater monitor installed yesterday on my turbo
multifuel. His comments in the October MV Magazine article about flame
blowout, at least with the turbo, show to be true on my engine as well. The
flame monitor tells me that no flame is present once the truck has started
and the preheater is activated. It only registers a flame when cranking.
At least now I know when to stop "juicing" the intake with raw fuel during
start up :-) Unbeknownst to me at the time, my flame heater was not working
at all when I got the truck, due to a dead ignitor AND a spark plug with
cracked insulation that only fired part of the time. Having this monitor
installed gives me some peace of mind in that I know immediately when the
system needs attention.
I am curious to know if anyone else has bought one and installed on a
non-turbo? If so, what are the results during cranking and initial startup?
All in all, a great product. Very well built, and it even looks original
with the military connectors and indicator light.
Also Bjorn, thanks for including the disassembled pic of the flame heater
injector in your article in MV Magazine. I ended up getting distracted by
life for a few days after I took mine apart to clean it, and the pic came in
handy :-)
