Water-Methanol Injection Pump
New from AEM is an improved pump available for its
water-methanol injection kits. It claims the new recirculation-style pump offers more consistent flow at higher line pressures and does so across its entire delivery curve. According to AEM, this provides maximum atomization, which increases air-charge cooling and combustion control efficiency. In addition, the new pump provides quieter operation and runs continuously (no cycling) for better reliability. Two versions of the pump are available: 72 watts for AEM’s 1-gallon kit, and 144 watts for its 5-gallon system.

Problem-Solving Oil Additive
Lubrication Specialties has released a product called Hot Shot's Secret, which it says keeps high-pressure common-rail injectors from wearing prematurely. It claims the extreme heat conditions common-rail engines face have a burning effect on the engine oil, which then oxidizes, causes more friction, and leads to slow start-ups, rough idling, hesitation, and lack of power. According to Lubrication Specialties, its product removes oil buildup and varnish left behind from overheated oil and is a viable alternative to replacing your injectors. In addition, it offers a 100 percent money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
