i does stop back fire but gas flow in nooooooot that great it build a lot of pressure in my bubbler.

That seems strange. Lots of people swear by this one.

I started using these based on comments on this forum. I'm ashamed to admit, however, that I did not do a before/after production test. Guess I've got something to do next week. I'll report my findings here.

I use them and yes a little pressure builds up but so what, you still get the same output. The gas does not just magically go away after it builds up pressure. If you are losing output it would seem to me that you have a bubbler that cannot handle the pressure and has a leak. Find me an arrestor that works, and does not inhibit flow. I have to disagree, these arrestors kick butt, especially for the money!

[oicu812]

I have to agree. flash back arrestors are a must , unfortunatly pressure builds up... up-stream of them. Any leaks in your set-up will force the gas out before the arrestor. If your system is leak proof total volume of gas will not change.

...I'll add to that the vacuum from the engine will far offset the small restriction of this arrestor, as well as your production.

Don't hook the system up to any vacuum source!:mad:

How does it get into the engine then ??

Even the intake port creates vacuum. I suppose I should have rephrased. Unless you've got a turbo, the air isn't pushed in there!

[lhazleton]

Shouldn't be hooked up to the intake either. It should go between the throttle body and air cleaner.

for me sucks its even hard to blow the air thru. and i got the one with 3/8 ends.

Yes, that is true. But remember, when you blow with your mouth, you are trying to push a high volume thru it -- bunches of lpm. If you blow very gently, there is very little resistance.

Even with 6 lpm coming out of a 1/4" hose, you can hardly feel the flow.

Has anyone taken one of these bad boys apart to see what's in it?

I have two of them in-line and like you I can barely blow air through and yet I still get a great flame from my torch. You can bag on these arrestors all you want but you are going to have this problem no matter which one's you use. I would be concentrating on fixing leaks if I were you.

Touche', Andy. Like Nick said, some people need to learn the hard way:D

Apparently not, since no one has posted what's in it. ...and as a wise person once told me... if you don't write it down, it never happened.

[chuggins143]

Ok, how about a big slice of humble pie for me! Ok, I must admit I did look, but apparently not as diligently as I should have. You are correct, the info is out there. I just didn't dig deep enough.
Thanks for the info!
